MIDI Remote Problem with Transport / Nudge Cursor Left & Right

Cubase

@Martin.Jirsak

Hi Martin,

here, two controller buttons are mapped with the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistent to

Key Commands / Transport / Nudge Cursor Left

and

Key Commands / Transport / Nudge Cursor Right.

When I choose the Ruler Mode “Bars+Beats”
the step when using a controller button is correct like the grid type
(i.e. Bar, Beat, Use Quantize).

But when I choose the Ruler Mode “Seconds”
the step when using a controller button is always 2 seconds and NOT like the grid type
(i.e. 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, 1000 ms).

I think, this is a bug. Can you reproduce this?

With the PC-Keyboard and using “Strg-Num -” and “Strg-Num +” it works correct.

Best regards

Addendum:
Other MIDI Remote commands for which the current grid is relevant work correctly with both Ruler Modes (Bars+Beats Mode and Seconds Mode), e.g. commands for moving events/clips and commands for changing the lengths of fade-ins and fade-outs.

Hi m.c. - can you reproduce this as a bug?

Hello my friend, nope, I’ve tried both the assistant and scripting, and the commands respected the grid type setting.

Thank you very much, m.c., you really are very helpful. :grinning_face:

Interesting that it works correctly for you.

Unfortunately, I always have a 2 second grid and I have no explanation for this.

Do you have any ideas as to what could be the problem?

Unfortunately no… Is your remote based solely on json or you have a script and then using the mapping assistant?

A 2 second grid under any tempo? Because to me it seems suspiciously round (1 bar at 120).

Whatever I choose in the dropdown menu Grid,

when the Ruler is set to “seconds” or “timecode”, the Grid is always 2 seconds here
and not (1 ms / 10 ms / 100 ms / 1000 ms).

I testet it now with a complete another controller (ESI XJam)
and assigned the functions without a script ony with MIDI Remote Assistent.
All other Commands work as expected and also this command, wenn the Ruler is set to “bars & beats”, but not when the Ruler is set to seconds or timeode.

Reinstall Cubase 14 and delete Preferences did not bring a solution either.

Found it!
I was really too stupid!

Much more important than setting the ruler to seconds is of course setting the primary tempo to seconds at the bottom of the screen. How could I forget that… :upside_down_face:

Nevertheless, many thanks for your kind help. :innocent:

However, it is still strange that when the PRIMARY TEMPO is set to Bars & Beats at the bottom of the screen but the Ruler is set to “seconds” or “timecode”, the Grid with MIDI Remote is always 2 seconds here and not (1 ms / 10 ms / 100 ms / 1000 ms).
(With the PC-Keyboard and using “Strg-Num -” and “Strg-Num +” it works correct.)

Perhaps you can test this setting variant.
