Lost control to use slider as velocity key in CE8

Hello, Im not sure what i did or what happened but I have a alesis q49 keyboard that i use with elements 8. I just plugged the keyboard in first time i got it and never had any issues with it until recently. My issue is i use to be able to control the tension for vst instruments with my slider/data …

Hi and welcome,

In general, this is very managed this way: the slider is sending MIDI Controller 7 value. Cubase transfer this MIDI Controller to the Volume Fader movement, if you are using MIDI or Instrument tracks. Thats it.

So, make sure:

  • The Q49 slider is sending MIDI Controller 7 data (maybe, you change it by using any template - if there is any - on the Q49).
  • Make sure the MIDI signal comes to Cubase.
  • Make sure, you are using MIDI or Instrument tracks.
  • Make sure, MIDI Controller 7 is not filtered by Cubase (Preferences > MIDI > MIDI Filter).
