I have a Behringer X-Touch One that I am using with Cubase 9, and want to use the footswitch to activate play/stop.
I get that the footswitch is transmitting Control Change 64 (push: value 127, release: value 0).
Even though the X-Touch operates in Mackie Control mode, it does not recognize the footswitch.
I tried to setup this functionality using the Generic Remote Device, and have successfully got the footswitch to activate PLAY, but cannot get it to activate STOP. Any suggestions? Image attached.
I have exactly the same issue and have already tried several settings within the remote configuration. Isn’t there anyone capable of solving this problem?
You have to do a midi mapping in the Midi Remote. I will explain here with pictures.
First right-click on the Play button or Start (Transport) as it’s called in Cubase and click on “Pick for MIDI Remote Mapping: Start”.
Click on the pedal
A page comes upp where you need to add a MIDI Controller Surface. You select the vendor Behringer in the drop down list. Choose the model (you can write whatever you want. You also need to write something in the field for the script creator, which is you. I wrote my initials. Choose the Input Port “X-Touch One” and leave the Output Port empty. Then press "Create MIDI Controller Surface.
Click on the + sign and enter a page name. I choose Start/Stop as a name, so it will be easy to remember what this function is for. Especially since you can create many MIDI mappings.
Go to your transport panel and right click on the Start button.
Now in the top right corner you will see a green button and underneath it will say
Start (Transport). Now press your pedal, and you will see that the big button in the middle turns blue and you can also click on “Apply Mapping”.
After that you clicked on “Apply Mapping” you will see how the big button in the middle turned into a green Start button.
You need to do one more thing. Click in the Mappings field where it says “Start (Transport)”.
A new window appear. Make sure it’s set to “Toggle” and that the Min value is 0% and Max value 100%.
When you close the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant window, you should be able to toggle Start and Stop with the pedal (via X Touch One).
AND just choose the “Transport record” button instead if that’s what you want to use the pedal for.
There are a lot of things to discover with the MIDI Controller and the Mapping assistant. For example, it’s from here you dedicate a knob for automation in your VSTs. And I did it with the big wheel on XTO for a synth VST, but then realised that I need it for what it’s meant to originally do.
I will check if it’s possible to assign the panner on X Touch One for different things. I just got the XTO so I haven’t got the time to dig in to it deeper. But if anyone is interested what I will find out, let me know.
