Faderport 8 midi remote script

It has been requested for many years now, but crickets from the PreSonus team. What exactly do you need it do? I have a version of my script that is using VST quick controls to control various CC in VSTi . Maybe that is something useful to you?

HI and thanks for your work. Absolutely amazing…

I would be very interested in your script with quick controls. I program a lot of orchestral music in nuendo and use a lot of quick controls.

Thanks

Thanks again, this is really wonderfull with the quickcontrols added.

One problem. In Edit Plugins I can not switch to next pages if there are more parameters to change.

That is correct, since it uses quick controls which only occupy 8 slots. It only banks the inserts themselves if there are more than 8 inserts.

I’m not sure if I understand you correct. I’m talking about the Edit Plugins Button not quickcontrolls. You said: "Edit plugins can now bank with the prev and next buttons"

This does not seem to work in the script with the quickcontrolr

That’s what i said, you can bank the inserts slots when there are more than 8 plugins inserted. A previous version was only able to control 8 insert slots. Edit Plugins is the overview window for showing inserts normally.

The plugin parameters are controlled by quickcontrols, this is limited to 8 parameters. No banking there for now. It is possible, but then I would have to rewrite alot of code, which would probably break too many things. And the AI models that helped me code, have changed their business model. It is way too expensive now. I might see if free models will be able to help, but those typically aren’t great.

Hello, thank you so much for the good work. Please I need it for the Faderport 16. Maybe someone has already extended this. I also have a problem with the display nothing is showing up at all.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Ryan

unfortunately I only have a FP8, so I’m not able to code this for the FP16 since I can’t see if it’s working or not. Hopefully someone with the FP16 will be able to help you.

Best,

Edwin

Could you please explain what is the issue you’re facing with banking plugin parameters?

As I’ve said, you have two options within the MIDI remote API, one being the quickcontrols (mFocusedQuickControls) and the other being the generic plugin parameters (mParameterBankZone), unless I have missed something. The latter shows alot of useless things that I don’t want to see for some 3rd party plugins, but I also can’t remove those. I thought it would be the parameters that show up in the Remote Control Editor, which you also can edit and has pages.

The final user should indeed use the remote control editor to get the banks of parameters fit their needs. Once such a template in rce is saved, the next plugin instance will use it.

Except that the default parameters that are shown are sometimes not the ones that are shown by default in the RCE either, nor do some parameters even appear in the RCE and can’t even be removed. But, there’s good news. I have found a workaround that seems to be working and shows the RCE parameters.

Thanks again, works perfect.

One bug I noticed. If I want to move from Quickcontrol (Shift-Marker) to Track it stays on Quickcontrol. If I go to Sends first, then to Track it works.

Thank you very much for your reply. I also hope that someone can help me with FP16.

@RyanB303 I think you can do it yourself with Claude AI, just go to the website, upload the script and tell it that you need this script to work for the fp16 instead of the fp8. It will make the changes, you can download the script and put it in the right folder. Refresh the script in Cubase and if it’s not working correctly, you tell it what the problem is. The free version is limited, but since most of the code has been written already, that shouldn’t be a big problem.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve already tried chatgpt, but I don’t get the complete source code back. Claude AI is better in that regard. So far, at the moment I haven’t received a usable version. I will keep trying.

Unfortunately the problem with the quickcontrols is still there. The display changes back to tracks, but the faders stay on the quickcontrols.

It seems that I misunderstood what you meant, because going from VSTi quickcontrols to Track didn’t work, so that’s what I had fixed. I didn’t even see the faders thing. But that’s fixed now. And this is why I was so hesitant to make changes to a working script, but luckily it wasn’t too hard to fix. Let me know if you run into more bugs.
