iCON QCon Pro G2 (+Extender) MIDI Remote Script

[jed_dexter]

With regards the unassigned buttons… if i assign these in MIDI Remote directly, does the system remember these or are they lost once the script is reloaded?

@jed_dexter

Only minor issue observed that holding “shift” button the “left” and “rewind” buttons also light up. Doesn’t seem to affect functionality though.

When a button lights up while pressing shift, it means it has a dedicated function mapped to it while Shift is held

@jed_dexter

Other observation is I don’t see the “Layer 2” button being used. Maybe this is hardware specific but in Mackie protocol i have some buttons with 3 options depending on using “Shift” or “Layer 2”.

There are tiny Layer2-specific buttons below each Layer2-enabled button that you can use to map Layer2 functions individually.

@jed_dexter

I particularly love now being able to flip the Name and Pan values. Just seems so obvious with pan below.
Is there a way of setting this by default in the script?

I will consider adding a config option for it

@jed_dexter

I note in MR it’s not possible to remove factory button assigns.

You can’t remove a factory mapping, but you can overwrite it in the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant

@jed_dexter

if i assign these in MIDI Remote directly, does the system remember these or are they lost once the script is reloaded?

They are generally remembered but might be lost when updating the script. You can also choose whether you want a mapping to be stored globally or per-project only.

Hi! I have 2 issues on this script… if there is someone who can help me please.
First of all when the script is loaded I get this error:
TypeError: undefined not collable (property ‘makeRepeating’ of [object Object]) (line 4201).
I don’t how to fix this.
And the second problem is that Qcon Pro G2 only works with the MixConsole 1, and all the tracks on the MixConsole 2 are not shown on the Qcon Pro G2.
Before I bought the Qcon Pro G2 I used to have all my sessions on Cubase organized on 2 Mix Consoles because of the resolution of my screen it was easy for me to work this way… so it would be great if the Qcon Pro G2 could handle all the tracks no matter if they are in MixConsole 1 or 2 or whatever.
Thanks!!

thanks bjoluc you are a legend.

Been tinkering around with the script (i’m not a developer but just been curious to figure out some parts).

one line I did add was on row 6518:
pushToggleValue: mixerBankChannel.mPreFilter.mPhaseSwitch

I’ve noticed this before where MCU requires full turn of v-pot to turn Phase on/off, which is a bit laborious. So copied this line from elsewhere and voila it worked!

I also tried turning the Rec buttons into Read buttons as I hardly use them, but ended up turning it back. But it did demonstrated many of these assigns can get moved about.

Thanks for explaining the Layer function. Previously on the F-buttons only F8 worked with Layer 2, but now all 8 work. So if Shift was fixed on the F-buttons that would allow 3 assigns per button.

Regarding the subpages (shift), I note some have them (mainly transport) and some not.
(e.g. Shift+Read was ‘Read All’’ Shift+Pan was ‘Stereo Panning’)
Is this also same current limitation in Midi Remote as with the F-buttons, or more a case of adding to the script?

Hi maikerlburge,
Mackie protocol tracks to MixConsole1.
(But it would be neat if the Shift button could be assigned to open MixConsole2)

Midi Remote does not currently follow the MixConsole Visibility Configuration, but rather adds all tracks in your project. (though in the script some like input/output are excluded).
Steinberg Mod on separate thread has mentioned this is on their backlog of fix/enhancements.

Thanks jed_dexter. It’s sad that Mackie only works with MixConsole1. I can fix it adding all the tracks to MixConsole1 anyway, but wish it could read all the consoles.
Any thoughts on the error that Cubase give when loading the script?
The script is loaded anyway but I don’t know if it can be fixed
The script message:
TypeError: undefined not collable (property ‘makeRepeating’ of [object Object]) (line 4201)

Thanks again

If anyone is interested in a solution for this issue about Mackie protocol only working with MixConsole1.
I ended up open 3 different Consoles at Cubase, so MixConsole1 has all the tracks I like to see on the Control Surface, but I keep it closed, not showing on the desktop screen. And then MixConsole2 and 3 has all the tracks configuration that I wanna see on the desktop screen, and keep them open. That’s it.

Nevermind

@bjoluc (or anybody else )
Hi,
Do you think your script will work with an ICON QCON PRO 1st gen.?
I have one lying around and will set up my new recording space by the end of the year, so I can’t try it for myself right now.

Thanks for your insight,
Ralf
