Midi remote, change assignment on trigger

Hello all,
I’m new to the new midi remote scripting in cubase 12. I understand the basic functions.
I am curious how deep this goes and would like to know if it’s possible to change an assignment of a knob with an midi trigger.
De for instance: I have a rotary sending control change 1 and is assignment to change the volume of a track. Could this be changed to controlling Pan if I send a ‘note on’ to cubase on another midi input. (this is just an example)
(this would make it possible to change the complete controller settings on a specific midi event)
Thanks

Yes it is possible and not in just way only.

  1. By using subPages. You assign your other control (say, a note) to browse to your next sub page, where your initial control will behave completely differently,

  2. By using custom Value Variables. This is a bit more complicated at first but worth the effort.

I’ll give you an example from my own script:

I’ve assigned 4 controls (pads to be precise) to behave as states’ switchers. So, combined with my default encoders, I get 5 different tasks performed (The first being the encoder with no pad pressed).

Here’s a screenshot of my Jog wheel and its actions, on its own and when I use pads for the other modes.

Hi mchantzi,
I understand bwhat you are saying, but I don’t know how to find these option. Is there a documentation on this ??
Second, the ‘state switches’ are send on a different midi interface as the rotary information. Can a midi remote handle more midi inputs at the samd time ??

Yes.

Not much (if any), I’m afraid, you’re right on this. There is the README_v1.html file inside the scripts folder, which provides some examples and the API’s definitions. I myself spent some hours to figure out what I had to do in such cases. Who knows, maybe in the future, there will be a better documentation.

Ok, But this sound very promising!! At least the means to do it seems to be there only the way to do it is let’s say ’ unpaved’.
Is it possible to share this script of yours ??If I see the scripting I probably understand the way how thing work.
But thanks!! for the quick response. At least now I know it can work and it worth to put some time and effort into this.

In the next days, I’m going to share my script here and in CubasePro FB page, no worries. I too hope it would be of help, though it’s targeting a specific midi controller (Arturia’s Keylab MK2) and its code is semi-spaghetti to not be that hard on myself :joy:
In fact, this is the reason I’m delaying uploading, to make things a bit clearer to anyone who’s wiling to read this stuff.
BUT, I can tell you this: The new API of Steinberg made possible things that were a dream for me, and couldn’t possibly make (without TOO much effort) using my other outside of Cubase toolset.

I understand to scribt is very specific, but still it is probably showing the way of thinking. Allthough I haven’t looked into the new API a lot yet… if it’s doing what I think it is, it would make it possible to completely program you own controller behavior. Yes it would take a lot of time and effort but it would be very rewarding. But again I don’t know the limits yet. I now certainly going to look into this!!!
Thanks
