The New MIDI Remote is

[John_Mr]

I use the “selected” option in Generic Remote, deactivated the new “Midi controller script”, when I open Cubase Help -GR (Legacy) -so support and functionality will wither, hope the new feature improves to include 3Rd party VST parameters.

I understand new module- we want it to work with our flagship platform-let’s not immediately open up issues with 3rd party plugins. I don’t have a long history with Cubase so don’t understand how they think. I’m not sure I want “MIDI controller” to automatically map Console 1 Fader, which works perfectly, I though it was interesting which parameters it identified.

If not will have a script written.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I am aware of the Functions Browser, but once again, all of the options for the Channel Settings Window, with the exception of the EQ and Pre Section, aren’t available. This leads me to the conclusion that the Channel Settings window components, are being made redundant.
Please tell me that is not the case!

Hi Jochen, I hope the following line can help:
In: F0 00 20 6B 7F 42 02 00 00 15 7F F7 | Sysex

[Jochen_Trappe]

Hi @music95, the sysex-id response coming from the hardware should look like that:
F0 7E 00 06 02 00 20 6B xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx F7

“F0 7E 00 06 02” means sysex-id response
“00 20 6B” is the vendor ID of Arturia
and after that comes the bytes pointing to the device family and model.
In the script we defined 02 00 05 48, but it looks like we’ve made a mistake here.

Sadly, Nope you can’t control anything by clicking or moving the on-screen controls.

But wouldn’t it be great if you could? You could use any midi controller you have to create a UI, open it into another window on a touch screen and have whatever controller you want!

Edit: Oh, so late on this one.

Please, vote and voice your opinion in the feature thread I made, we can brainstorm ideas, and maybe Jochen or Matthias could chime in!

New Midi Remote - Touch Panel Feature request

With the new Midi Remote Editor I am thinking that we could have floating panels where we could arrange buttons (and maybe faders) and use them in a touchscreen, mapped to all cubase functions, macros and logical editor presets. This could save us from cumbersome setups, I think the functionality is right there in the editor. What do you think?

[oqion]

It would be really handy if a MIDI Remote script could be written so that Notes and CCs could be passed on to a track.

I suspect that there is a setting I can do in the script to tell Cubase not to capture a given message, and to let it continue on to a track.

Also, it would be handy if there was a way to add more than one port to a MIDI Remote, maybe I just haven’t dug deep enough yet, but I can’t figure that one out either.

[Jochen_Trappe]

Letting the messages through even though they are converted into parameter changes is very counter intuitive. You easily get in conflict between written parameter automation and recorded CC lanes.

@Jochen_Trappe

console.log('value: ' + value.toString())

…yes, I only debug in this way.

[music95]

When I send a sysed-id request with F0 7E 7F 06 01 F7 this is the reply I have:
F0 7E 7F 06 02 00 20 6B 02 00 05 58 3E 0A 01 01 F7
So the correct value is 05 58 instead of 05 48 for the model
I changed the script with .expectSysexIdentityResponse(‘00206B’, ‘0200’, ‘0558’) and now it works.
Thanks again.

It’s nice to have an easier way to map functions on the fly, & the GUI is fantastic, but as the functions are then ‘stuck’ to one particular channel, it makes this feature pretty useless.

^This really is critical, and agree. There needs to be the “selected track” options as before, or provide us with the options to page through the layers of quick controls and we can define the mappings using the remote editor.

[Jochen_Trappe]

Lordy, just a typo. Thanks for finding!
Will be part of the next maintenance update then.

@Jochen_Trappe

Please have a look at the Mapping Assistant and its Functions Browser on the right. There is a section for the selected track which covers the common parameters of a channel. And please have a look at our new Focus Quick Controls section in the Functions Browser. You can map hardware knobs to them and have control over those Quick Controls that are in focus.

Will there be any chance of being able to map to quick control layer changes? I did raise a post about this here:-

Enable VSTi layer change to function list

Is it possible we could please have the option to control the quick control layer via the MIDI API? i.e. for instruments you get the first 8 quick control parameters. [image] And if you change the layer to Page 2 (using a mouse) it updates the focus QC to the next 8 of controls, which is brilliant:- [image] However, there’s no option to map that layer change function to a controller, so you have to use a mouse to move between pages. This is the current functions available:- [image] If …

I’ve been assigning my controllers with this section - but there are still a lot of missing parameters. No per-channel control over Channel Strip processors or Inserts, for instance. I’m going to have to revert to Generic Remote for now. I love the way Midi Remote works - so I hope more parameters will be included soon.

[bigcat75]

Yup, that did the trick. I removed the controls from the gui and the MIDI is passed directly through from the controller now! THX!!

[GraziTheMan]

I’m new to Cubase and pretty impressed with 12 so far. Is there a place where people can upload or link the custom scripts they’ve created and people like me who are useless with scripting can lurk until a script for our hardware has been shared by somebody else? I’m using a PreSonus Faderport Single, and not all of the buttons are recognized by the Midi Remote editor. I’ll reach out to PreSonus, but I won’t hold my breath.

[Elias1957]

How to access QC controls on Massive X or Omnisphere/Trillian? There’s no QC button (and some other buttons are missing).
Here’s Padshop

and Trillian

BTW, is there a keyboard shortcut to open the QC controls on a VST?

[HowlingUlf]

I’ve also been poking around with this new tool. It is amazing! It’s done right and it makes sense right from the , and with a minimum of effort we’re up and running, it’s intuitive and easy to navigate … but what good would that be if it isn’t very powerful. It’s not very powerful. It’s EXTREMELY powerful and the best of all, it’s MIDI Remote 1.0.0 …
This looks sooo good now and for the future!
s l o w c l a p !!!

[stripealipe]

Yeah, a lot of the NI plugins do not show the QC button etc. I think it’s their slightly odd non-conformist way of programming their VST plugs. Not sure if anyone at Steinberg can suggest a workaround?! The QC controls are actually doing something, just that we cannot reassign them to our own taste…

[Elias1957]

Maybe this is not a Steinberg issue, but in the Spectrasonic plugins these buttons are “hidden”
This is introduced in C11. Kontakt 6 btw., shows the buttons.
Will be nice if Steinberg can invest here and give us a result, if Steinberg or the vendors must fix this.
