Midi Remote API bugs

I want to report an issue in the Midi Remote API.

The following methods are not working as expected:

mixerBankZone.excludeWindowZoneLeftChannels()
mixerBankZone.excludeWindowZoneRightChannels()
mixerBankZone.setFollowVisibility(true)

Channels moved to left or right zone are always visible in the bank, it doesn’t work.

Regarding visibility, the bank of channels don’t react to any change when tracks are shown/hidden.

I’m using Cubase 13.0.50 in macOS 13.7

Hope you can fix it asap.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is it new in Cubase 13.0.50? Did it work in Cubase 13.0.41, please?

I have started writing Midi Remote Api scripts in 13.0.41, and I didn’t use these three methods until yesterday.

So I can’t assure this worked before, but maybe not.

See this post from 2022:

At the end of the thread, @stevetwist says it is not yet implemented, but it will be.

So maybe is still in the to-do-list, or maybe it was implemented and it’s not working.

I have tested all the methods for exclude and include channels in the mixer bank zone. Everything works correctly except these three that I have mentioned.

Hi, all these properties are not implemented, there is a comment in a thread from one of the devs that they will be implemented eventually, so it’s not about CB13, @Martin.Jirsak.

@jordikt, the setFollowVisibility is a pretty well known feature-request, while the other two are not as popular and this is maybe why you didn’t find a relevant post on these two as well :slight_smile:

Fully agree @m.c

I miss a lot to not have synchronised the visibility. It’s a pity that this feature is still not implemented.

I don’t care about window zone left and right, I just tried these options as a substitute of the visibility.

I have found a workaround that is split the window project and send the tracks to the upper side in the order I want to see it in the bank. If I want them back, I select the upper tracks and click in the context menu to send bank to the lower area.

Hi, as m.c mentioned, as far as any of us (users) know, setFollowVisibility is not implemented yet^. A number of us have been discussing it here over the past months: MidiRemote Quirks

^ I’ve not tested the latest maintenance release. But as of 13.0.41 it is not implemented, and I saw no mention of MIDI Remote API improvements in 13.0.50’s release notes.

It would be nice to get some news re: the MIDI Remote API roadmap (other than touch-sensitive faders - which, don’t get me wrong, is a great addition - I don’t recall any updates to the MIDI Remote API in the 13.x cycle, including fixes for the various bugs which have been reported - which is a shame). But I know Steinberg never announce things before they’re released, so I’ll continue waiting in the dark :confused:

Maybe @Jochen_Trappe may shed some light on this. I rather desperately wait for the setFollowVisibility for a while now. It would be so great if you added it to C14.
