Thank you bjoluc.
In my old Platform M (without plus) the mixer button is not mapped as “shift”, maybe is different from the M+. The mixer button goes to the left locator in my case. And combined with chan L and R is not working.
That’s strange. Is your Platform M in Cubase mode? Does @robw’s script work as expected?
Hi bjoluc,
Yes, I’m using the MCU mode, the mode that corresponds to cubase from firmware version 2.00 when introduced only 4 modes.
The @robw script works fine, only that when I touch the fader the track is not selected visually. The correct track is controlled but the selected track is not “marked” as it does when press the selected button or when touch the fader with your script.
Fixed in v1.10.1 – thanks @quark!
Hey guys, jumping in here later trying to wrap my head around all this. I’m super excited about this MCU script replacement and have a couple questions-
- does it currently work with the Icon P1-M? Are the extenders also supported?
- does the script support touch sensitive faders?
- does the script fix the issue where some MCU controllers won’t follow the on screen channel? I’m not interested in banking everywhere.
- can the script be modified easily by the user via the midi remote gui if I want to assign custom key commands?
Thanks @bjoluc for taking on this project. Blows my mind no company is trying to solve these issues and still relying on a 20 year old protocol.
Hey @GPnicolett, this thread is mainly about the Platform M+ script by @robw: I just dropped by to mention we added Platform M+/X+ support in the cubase-mcu-midiremote project (a different beast). So I wouldn’t like to discuss general mcu-midiremote-related stuff here, but I’ll reply to you in this P1-M/X thead
Hi, I’m pretty new to the whole Steinberg MIDI remote thing. Having only used the app within Cubase 12/ 13 to create a Surface for a Novation ZeRO SL MkII, so not been able to get my head around the scripting side of things. I’ve recently bought an Icon Platform M+, and found the scripts on this site very helpfull, with regard to the functionality. But looking through the Visual Studio code I still find baffling. I’d just want to, for example, map the Mixer button (which appears to be unassigned in version 2) to open/ close the mixer page, but I don’t know where to begin. I guess this is a me problem but if anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
Hi, I’ve downloaded and am using your ver.2 code on my recently aquired icon Platform M+. Up to now my experience with the Steingerg MIDI remote software has been limited to using the out-of-the-box software to configure a Novation ZeRO SLMkII. But having used your software for the Platform M+ I’d really like to understand the Java scripting approach. I believe I’ve looked at the script for the version I’m running, but the whole creating a fork process, to access the repository,has got me confused. If there are any tips you have to assist a keen beginner I would appreciate it. Thanks again for the work you have done for the Platform M+, I’m not sure I’d be hanging on to it if it wasn’t for the much increased functionality you’ve unlocked.
HI Folks,
After a long hiatus cause of “life” I’ve to back to doing some music doodling.
Good news on the MIDI Remote side - Track Visibility now works (kinda) for both the latest Cubase 13 and 14. (confirmed here Midi Remote API: SetFollowVisibility)
The only trick is you need to change the track visibility to what you want in the Mixer and then Select a track to trigger an update to the Midi Remote.
The Icon Platform M+ MIDI Remote script already has SetFollowVisibility active so no changes required to the script. I’ve only tested on C13.
I removed touch selection in a more recent version as it annoyed me one day.
Still not sure though, annoys me the other way now
Think I need to implement some sort of Shift key so settings like this can be toggled but without losing some other button.
Thank you. Excuse me I’m looking for some basic help.
I have used v3 beta for a while but I find that it often times does not work. Now I updated to the latest version of CB14 from Steinberg Download Assistant.
I do not have any experience with compiling code and I constantly get confused on Github. Some times I download a directly linked .midiremote from some random place in this thread and sometimes I find a link to som .js files from Github that I try to replace in the Midi Remote / Local folder on my computer. Now I recon there is a new place on github: woodcockr/cubase-icon-platformmplus ? But it seems like source code files that I do not have the knowledge to compile. How do a non coder n00b like me keep up with the development of this beautiful script in the most easy way? Can I somehow compile a .midiremote file on github? Please do tell me I need to learn how to compile, then I’ll learn it. Just tried without success…
Now I succeded in reverting to 2.01 - is this considered the most stable version?
I’ve got some leave coming up and will do a proper release of v3. It’s working well for me but to do so from source you do need some level of familiarity with the coding tools involved. The release version is a single file that can just be dropped into the right spot, like v2 does.
I’ll see if I can knock it out next week.
Hi there,
any news on the release of version 3?
Looking forward to this!
@robw Hi, don’t want to pressure, but is there a v3 in the making?
