Elgato Stream Deck and Sideshow FX problem

Cubase
1

Hi all

Have set up the Elgato StreamDeck and the Sideshow FX Cubase pack with Cubase 14 and most things seem to be working fine.

However, there’s a Tempo page where there’s buttons to set various tempos, with buttons labelled “70 BPM”, “80 BPM” etc etc

These don’t work. They all use the same script with just the number following the Key changing, for the 70 BPM it’s

[(press){cc:8,53,127}
{wait:130}{key:70}
{key:enter}]

and for the 80 BPM it’s

[(press){cc:8,53,127}
{wait:130}{key:80}
{key:enter}]

However, when I press 70BPM button, as far as Cubase is concerned I’ve pressed the number 7 and it selects the “Mute (7)” tool and if I press “80 BPM” it selects the “Draw (8)” tool.

Oddly if I press “120 BPM” it selects “Range Selection (2)” and if I press “150 BPM” it selects “Erase (5)”. So it’s taking the middle number, weird.

I have contacted Elgato, waiting for a response, wondered if anyone else used this and whether the Tempo section works for them?

Thanks

Hi, perhaps I know what’s happening here.

In CB13, the command for entering the tempo is under the Transport section:

In CB14, the command is under the Edit section:

Not sure why Steinberg decided to change it (makes much more sense to me to keep it under the Transport section). This change had consequences on one of my scripts as well.

So, if the script you’re using is actually triggering this command, it will fail, thus letting 7 and 8 pass to the project window handler. By the way, is it a MIDI Remote script involved? If so, you can actually edit it and properly reassign the Enter Tempo there.

Many thanks

I went through the install instructions again, installing my Streamdeck software from scratch, and it now works
