MIDI-Changing from Linear to Musical time base corrupts CC64

Cubase
1

When I change a pre programmed midi track from Linear to Musical the sustain is corrupted. Seems it changes to ramp mode while the graphic still shows it as step mode. Here are two videos: one linear mode and the one after changing to musical mode.

Hi,

As far as I can see, you are talking about Musical/Linear Timebase, not Musical Mode, right?

So, if I understand you correctly, you just switched from Linear to Musical Timabase, and this happened?

Which version of Cubase are you using exactly? Please check in the Help menu → About Cubase

Apologies from incorrect terms. Yes, that is correct.

Cubase Pro 13 V 13.0.41

Hi,

Can you try in the latest 13.0.50, please?

7

Will do. Thank you.

Upgraded to 13.0.50.
Starting from scratch with a new song. Problem still the same.:unamused:

Hi,

I cannot reproduce the issue here on my side.

This is very weird! I reproduced your example exactly and it still doesn’t work correctly in musical mode on my Cubase. So I changed the graphic to ramp (which is how it is playing) and back to step and that fixes the problem. but this doesn’t solve the mystery. I also tried other VSTs and they all produce the same problem

Maybe it is time to tackle the preferences.
Hold Cmd + Opt + Shift when launching Cubase. Then select “Disable program preferences”.
Any change?

Hi,

Here is a video:Cubase Safe Start Mode [Disable preferences].

Same issue with Preferences disabled. It happens in Cubase 12 & 13.
BUT:
If I start with a midi track in musical mode before programming anything, and then record midi, I can toggle back and forth between musical and linear and it works perfectly.
So to confirm: if I record midi while in linear mode the problem occurs when I switch to Musical.
If I record midi in musical mode the problem doesn’t ever occur when changing between musical and linear.

I can work with this. I don’t want to start deleting preferences or VSTs at this stage. I have no other issues. Cubase is as stable as a rock otherwise.
Thanks for your time, Martin & Johnny. It would be interesting to find out if this is a little bug or if it is some error on my system.

musical time base

linear time base

Since neither Martin nor I can replicate this issue on our computers… possibly something on your machine only.

Thanks for the corrections. I do appreciate the time spent. It occurred to me that you and or Martin may have started the test in Musical time base which does not produce the problem.

First thing I did was switching to linear time base. Sorry.

If it weren’t for the fact that “musical mode” is a functionality elsewhere in Cubase that works rather different than musical time base I hadn’t bothered.

Thank you I’m learning. Maybe slowly, but surely!
