Hey and thanks for replying,
I actually found a solution thanks to @Arnaud88 on these forums. Just took a little digging…
But, I now have another problem which I guess I’ll post up elsewhere in this forum for neatness, but, in a nutshell…
Setup a Kontrol S49 MIDI Remote Map in Cubase, set the encoders to ‘relative signed’ and then set the encoders in the Komplete Kontrol standalone app to ‘relative’ too.
Map the encoders to QC1 to QC8. They now pickup QC on any VST and smoothly pickup and change values. But, go to an instance of Komplete Kontrol, the screens show you the relevant KK VST and its controls. Twiddle away, again nice and smooth pickup. Now, go back to a normal VST and twiddle away and you’ll find a lot of the time the transition back to QC causes jumps in values. The values do update and look correct on the MIDI page/screen of the keyboard but they jump when you start to turn an encoder. Weirdly not all the time but a lot of the time.
Annoying… will report back if I find an answer…
