Also, it seems the support for controlling sends from Mackie has a bug. It is only possible to control the first FX send for each channel, rather than all of the FX sends of the selected track.
@LSlowak Here’s a link to the video:
It’s pretty straightforward. On the X Touch:
- Click “Send”
- Select a track (click “Select”)
- Turn any encoder
- Observe that the change is to the send level of the first FX send of the track the encoder is for. Encoder #3 adjusts FX send #1 for track 3.
- Observe that the LCD display for track 3 displays the exact FX send level for FX send #1 for track 3.
I would expect that after I click “Select,” encoder #3 would adjust FX send #3 for the selected track. Not so! It’s adjusting FX send #1 for track 3. For all intents and purposes, “Select” does nothing in this use case.
There is no apparent way to adjust FX sends #2-8.
By comparison, if I activate your native EQ for a given channel, after I click Select on a track, the encoders all control elements of the EQ for that track.
Please advise.
Thanks!
@LSlowak I contacted MusicTribe (Behringer) to ask if there is a way to select another “bank” of FX sends.
Their answer was very clear and specific: contact Steinberg and ask for their MIDI implementation document.
While I hoped for a different answer, I’m not the least bit surprised.
I come back to you Lars. Is there a combination of keys somewhere that will give access to Sends 2-8? Or, is this something your programmers have to adjust to address what might have been a misunderstanding in how Mackie Protocol should be implemented in Cubasis in regards to controlling FX sends?
Either way, here’s the ever-present “commercial” for the biggest missing item in your otherwise very helpful Mackie support:
Please support track meters!
Thanks,
Dov
Hi @dovjgoldman,
Thanks for all your automation-related feedback, which has been shared with the team.
Best,
Lars
