… Thanks! And there is no possibility to Zoom in/out this window, correct?
No, images cannot be sized in “Notes”, only text, sorry.

Two things which play key roles (pun intended) in Cubase are sadly missing in VST Live:
- track presets: it is unnecessary, time wasting and unnerving to have to recreate Cubase track instruments presets with their effects manually one by one, step by step
- Midi Remote: this is even much more urgently needed. It would save tons of time to be able to use the same Midi Remote Templates we use in Cubase, especially since the Komplete Kontrol Keyboard OS was updated to 2.0 and now enables hands on control on VST instruments and effects within Cubase. VST Live workflow would immensely profit from the same functionality.

I’d like to have an improved workflow in DMX Editor. At the moment its quite hard to remember what channel is used for what functionality, so I have to compare with my address sheet.
The following would rapidly improve this:
- Add fixtures (assign channel X to Y)
- Give it a Name
- Number of Channels used
- Description for each used Channel
- Maybe assign a color for the channel
- Sliders to live check channels during fixture setup
- Visual representation in DMX Editor of added fixtures
- Hide unused Channel to reduce the UIs overload
Example:
Best regards

That would be wonderful …. !
I imagined this would be track by track, but if you copy a dmx clip from one track to another, you will mess up info about fixtures labels etc.

I use it only on the extended screen. Are you sure it isn’t working to u?
Yes 
Opens on main desktop (Mac OS 26). Do you have a tutorial to get it on the additional screen?
In Devices / “Video Views” need to assign

Wenn wir hier schon bei Wünsch dir was sind – und Weihnachten steht ja auch vor der Tür – dann hätte ich ein paar Wünsche für zukünftige Versionen:
-
Einen Gerätemanager, in dem man Patchlisten laden kann (ähnlich wie in Cubase – idealerweise modernisiert).
-
MSB/LSB/Program Change komfortabler auswählen, z. B. über die Pfeiltasten. Das ständige Anklicken macht die Soundsuche unnötig mühsam.
-
Layers als MIDI-Input für andere Layers nutzen, um dort Plugins wie Scaler, Sequencer oder Arpeggiatoren einzubinden. Beispiel:
Layer 1 → Arpeggiator → Layer 2 (MIDI-In), Layer 1 → externer Klangerzeuger. -
MIDI-Spuren im Mixer anzeigen, wie in Cubase, damit man wirklich alles an einer zentralen Stelle mischen kann.
-
Einen globalen Part auf Song-Ebene, um Einstellungen zu definieren, die über den gesamten Song hinweg gelten.
(Ich habe z. B. 26 Geräte auf der Bühne, die ich nicht bei jedem Partwechsel anpassen möchte. Ein E-Piano bleibt meist über den ganzen Song hinweg unverändert.) -
MSB/LSB/PC pro Track direkt im Inspector einstellen können.
-
Übernahme von MSB/LSB/PC aus Cubase beim Song-Import, sodass diese Informationen beim Übernehmen von Tracks automatisch rekonstruiert werden.
-
MIDI-Volume-Fader frei belegbar machen, also mit beliebigen CC oder NRPN. Manche externen Synths halten sich nicht an die Standard-Controller – mein Peak braucht z. B. NRPN.
Und zum Schluss ein großes Dankeschön an alle bei Steinberg, die im letzten Update so viele Wünsche der Nutzer berücksichtigt haben. Mir ist völlig klar, wie viel Arbeit dahintersteckt – und selbstverständlich ist das bei vielen anderen Firmen leider nicht.

Nachtrag / Punkt 9:
-
Überblendungen zwischen Zonen – also die Möglichkeit, Zonen nicht nur hart zu trennen, sondern sie abhängig von der Tonhöhe weich ineinander zu überführen.
Beispiel:
Zone 1 = Flöten ab C3
Zone 2 = Oboen ab C2–C4
In dem Bereich, in dem sie sich überschneiden, sollte man einstellen können, wie stark sie ein- bzw. ausblenden, um natürliche Layerings zu erzeugen.Das wäre phantastisch!
Hi All,
Maybe this is my bad… I did not find any information about how to I import a cubase project with one or more multitimbral instrument. Eg. I created a project in Cubase 15 with a Halion sonic and an Omnisphere instance. Both has more than one “timbre”. I tried to export to VST live, export as DAW project, importing both, but
- there are not exists the two instruments in the layers section
- only the “first track” of both instruments are imported
If currently it is not possible, I would like to advise as the feature request.
Try this: Cubase, file-vst live-export project.
Because the DAW project might not be able to do this, and it still has some unresolved issues, for example, Import and export of media projects and dawprojects - #9 by sergeantt67
I tried it earlier, the result was (is) the same. The tracks imported, but all with dedicated instruments, the layers tab not contains the multitimbral instruments.
So I have to create a project in Cubase with multiple instances of the same instruments instead of multitimbrals.
Look, Cubase still doesn’t export stack layers, but it’s easy to export an instrument track with a MIDI clip, and I just checked it with all the tracks inside the instrument.
I added an instrument to Halion 2, and it transferred to VST Live when imported.
then save it as a preset
create a layer and call this already saved preset
In Cubase there are no layers or stacks, it doesn’t know what they are, so it has nothing to export) and also automation in Cubase belongs to the audio instrumental track, etc., but in Vst Live it is a completely separate track, so there will be no export either.
Option to have the metronome (visual and/or audio) play while the transport is stopped. It should play based on the tempo and time signature at the current playhead position. It is often necessary to play the intro of a song without backing tracks, e.g. a first verse that is just piano, then bring the backing tracks in mid-song. In this scenario, having the metronome playing with the transport stopped would help ensure that the song is played by the live musician(s) at the correct tempo before the tracks come in.
Related to my request in the previous post, it is often desirable to have a part in the middle of the song where the backing tracks drop out, then come back in at a later time.
There are ways to implement this now, such as with a flex loop or splitting the song into muiltiple songs, but these are relatively complicated and counterintuitive. What would be much simpler is a way to set a marker or region where the transport automatically stops and advances to a later point in the timeline, most likely the beginning of a song part. Then, the user simply presses play (or a midi controller linked to Play) at the moment that the tracks need to come back in.
I think you can already do this with a MIDI track. You can add a pause command and then add a play part x command as defined in actions.
Regarding your piano intro: Can you not hit start at a suitable point and at that start point have the count in to bring your musicians in on time? Maybe I’m not getting a need for metronome in the piano section but I’d have thought you would be roughly in time anyway. If you have an external keyboard that flashes a tempo you could use that as a guide. Not perfect but still a workaround.

Regarding using a MIDI track, you are correct, that does work. However, it seems unnecessarily complex to create a midi track, draw midi events, trying to remember which CC number corresponds to which command, then testing it out to make sure it works. If you come back to a song after several months, it will not be at all obvious what those midi events do just from looking at them. What would be much simpler, IMO, is a marker track or command track that allows you to explicitly place commands at specific points on the timeline. You could then see very quickly from looking at that track what commands are where. Camelot Pro has something similar in their Marker track, although the available markers are pretty basic - Stop or Play only.
Regarding the metronome, I explained it in more detail here: How Do You Run the Metronome Without the Transport Running? - #9 by tombo86
Which you probably saw since you were also on that thread, but in a nutshell:
- we are not playing to a click track
- the backing tracks often come in mid-song, not at the start
- The portion of the song before the backing tracks come in will be performed freeform, but should be at close to the tempo of the tracks.
- I am the only one that can see the metronome display
So, the simplest solution would be for the metronome to run visually (I leave the click off) when the transport is stopped. Here again, Camelot Pro does this, although that app has its own issues.

Holding the ctrl key to fine-tune all the sliders would be nice to have.
