Just wondering if anyone else has much application of this?
I have a fixed Analyser (SPAN) which I have on a dedicated screen and use it in 2 modes
Preset 1. MS overlay so I can be conscious of mono outcomes
Preset 2. This has 4 subgroups with sidechain/overlay per sidechain on so I can check masking/overlap etc
I was thinking to have a relative controller and turn left is prev, turn right is next
There is only open browser/next/previous parameters so I cant simply pass a number to dial the numbered preset
If I use relative ie 01 + 127, how is it best to set the controllers in generic remote as previous experience has me seeing that only the first controller number (for identical controllers) are recognised?
Also why does preset scroll only hidden brower items and not the default list that appears in the menu; works for some and not for others
Why does it not wrap? In this case I could just use move next and have it come back around
Cheers for any help
To address any suggestion
Yes I would love to use supervision but it cant overlay MS in a single window
It also only allows 1 sidechain to be overlaid
EQ comparison is not relevant because Im not using native eq
You can trigger the Key Commands Preset > Previous and Preset > Next from the Generic Remote Device. But you cannot assign it to the continue controller, as you described.
Does your controller offer NRPN messages, if so this thread discusses how you can split increment/decrement mappings:-
Unfortunately my controllers only send Midi CC, so the only option to be able to use rotaries for such things would be to split the values using virtual midi pipe and some kind of transform software so they come in to Cubase as separate CC addresses depending on direction turned.
Thanks
Checked it but the knobs dont send RPN etc…just relative. I am running bome for other stuff so might just have to hack it. Live has plenty of tools in remotes scripts to compare previous value and work out direction, then just send 96/97.
I use Note On messages for controlling any bi-directional Command type messages int the Generic Remote.
For example I’m using this liberally to zoom in or out, to go to next or previous tracks, to move the playhead cursor left or right and similar Cubase commands.
Some controllers can send different midi note messages (a number of NI controllers for example), depending if you turn an endless encoder left or right.
But if your controller doesn’t, you could probably use Bome to translate the relative CC messages into Note On messages before it gets to the Generic remote.
Hang on, I’ve never really mucked around with the generic remote settings…. Those commands look like they’re wrapped, two-three commands together. Does this mean this mean I can program my Shift + X buttons?!
If you mean Shift + X on your hardware remote - and if it sends a different midi message, you can program it either in the Generic Remote or the MIDI Remote.
I use that on one of my controllers, that sends different MIDI messages, if its shift button is being held while using various controls.
Oh man, can you show me how / point me to where I can learn? I have some programming abilities if needed but I suspect there will be some learning ahead. I seem to be able to do straight forward zooming, push and pulling (on my MK3 and JAM) but I really just want to control the browsing of presets and menus etc. I get I’ll have to use the mouse for some things but I feel like this should be doable. I can get close but it’s only by a work around hack by setting huge number increments and alas, it only spins in one direction. When I get down to the bottom I’m cactus. I set touch to zero on release so it goes back to the beggining but it’s pretty lame
Ps - I read on the forum that shift functions weren’t possible on the new midi remote and it would have to be done by the API which I’d really rather not get into if I can help it
