Hey Steinberg, Check Out My MIDI Remotes

Mid session, nothing was working, usual culprit MR, catastrophic fail, happens regularly but not usually to all six MR’s. Please fix. :+1:

Hi,

Could you be more specific, please?

Windows 11 latest

Custom MR scripts with hundreds of mapped buttons and CC faders.

For no particular reason the MIDI Remote(s) will stop working mid session. It happens on a regular basis. I need to quit Cubase to get them up and running again. Reloading/importing the script into the current session does not work.

Hi,

How is the hardware connected? What kind of MIDI Port do you use?

Doesn’t the hardware (or the (USB?) bus) go to any kind of sleep mode?

I’ve got 2 iPads running Metagrid Pro connected to my PC. Metagrid doesn’t disconnect, so I doubt it is a sleeping USB thing. The MIDI ports are to/from Bome MIDI Translator Pro. I’m 99% sure it’s Cubase because if I relaunch Cubase everything is back up and running, albeit temporarily.

Here is my MR’s 2 hours later. Notice the ‘VSL -VEP’ is greyed out now and the others are okay. It seems somewhat random.

Hi,

How is the iPad connected to the computer? Is it via USB port, or via BT/WiFi? Doesn’t this connection become lost by any chance?

I believe there is also some kind of virtual MIDI Port involved. This might also be risky.

The iPad’s are connected via USB.

Metagrid, Loop MIDI and Bome all continue to work as expected. It is only the MIDI Remotes in Cubase that become greyed out/unresponsive.
