Hello everyone, does anyone use the Vermona Melodicer (with MEX3 MIDI extension) with Cubase?
When using it live (Cubase 15 Elements), I experience note hang-ups and overlaps, which are probably caused by MIDI Through. Everything works fine when connected directly to the instrument.
MIDI Monitor shows lots of volume 0 values instead of note off, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I can’t find a solution with the MIDI filter or track input.
I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.
System:
I use Cubase 15 Elements on a laptop.
Windows 11 Home
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Graphics (2.30 GHz)
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (13.8 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Zoom L-12 as mixing console and audio (directly connected to the laptop’s USB port)
MIDIFACE 16x16 (via USB hub on the laptop)
Various sound generators, including: Roland SH-4D (via MIDI), UB-Xa (via USB hub)
All devices work perfectly, no error messages in Windows or Cubase
MIDI PORT 11 on channel 4 goes from the Melodicer to the laptop
MIDI PORT 16 (without channel) sends the MIDI clock (successfully) to the Melodicer
In Cubase as input MIDI PORT 11 on channel 4
as output, e.g. MIDI port 15 channel 3 - Roland SH-4 Part3
(input and output always via MIDIFACE 16X16)
Settings on Melodicer:
mode A (default)
INPUT Channel - off
receive MIDI Clock - on
MIDI out Voice 1 Channel 4
MIDI out Voice 2 Channel 15
MIDI out Voice 3 Channel 15
MIDI CC Channel off
Rest Voice 2 100%
Rest Voice 3 100%
Accent prob 0%
Standard Velocity 16
Note Value 1/8
Variation 0 (middle position)
Legato 0%
Rest 0%
Note: Control C all the way up
Range: left third line, right fourth line (from bottom)
I have already experimented with some MIDI filter settings without success.
It is possible that Cubase note off messages or similar are missing, but there are also other notes that are not selected by the control that are not visible.
It looks as if some control commands (?) are coming from the Melodicer or are being sent to it and sent back, or data is being misinterpreted by Cubase.
When I deactivate MIDI THROUGH in Cubase, I cannot hear any instruments, so that does not help.

When a sound generator is connected directly via MIDI (or CV) to the Melodicer, everything works perfectly.
I would very much like to keep the Melodicer and record the MIDI data, and I would also like to experiment with it in real time.
