thanks!

Hi All,

In the video Jef is telling at the end that he will post his script on forums.
Does anyone got it anywhere?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Matthias,
I am trying to get a Midas m32 to control and be controlled by cubase 12. It all seems to work fine (faders, mute buttons, and pan controls) with 2 banks of 16 main faders, however when I setup the console to receive and transmit midi data, the faders all seem to ‘fight’ themselves, and if I (for example) try to move a fader, it forces itself back to where it was and they jitter. Any ideas on how I could make it work? Thanks.

Hopefully this is what you were looking for:

Yeah - this is a known issue with apparently a solution on the way. This thread has discussed this issue in some depth:

Hi @Nico5
Thanks for that - I anxiously await the fix as it will be absolutely awsome to use the desk to mix!
Having said that, it appears that the current understanding is that disabling the midi output solves the problem. It sure does (easy to test with the Midas) but of course then the console doesn’t receive the fader positions so it’s a fix that causes other problems.
Hoping I’ve misunderstood that.

Thanks
Pauly

I don’t think you’ve misunderstood.

HI again,

Hmm (If I Have not misunderstood), the current solution will be to disable output to the console entirely? So… when I open a project, and want to use the console as the controller, the console will not receive fader positions from Cubase and will therefore not be configured correctly. In that state, every time I touch a fader, the matching fader in the Cubase mixer will immediately take up the physical console’s position, and therefore destroy the mix. Also, if I (for example) manually modify fader positions in Cubase (actually, playback …ever!) , then play back the project, the physical faders will not follow what’s in Cubase.
I’m still hoping that I have misunderstood the solution!
Thanks
Pauly

You can hope (I know it springs eternal :slight_smile: ) and repeat as many times as you wish, but it’s the only thing currently doable, and it only makes sense for some workflow situations, and absolutely not for many others (like obviously yours – and also mine).

The real solution (hopefully) will be this:

I’m not so sure. Yes that would be great as it would stop the feedback loop, and allow devices like Novation and Akai, to set response based colour feedback. But just disabling the automatic Feedback, while still allowing scripted feedback won’t move the faders.

Hopefully the intent of mOnProcessValueChange will be that of what I called mOnHostValueChange :man_shrugging:

I think you’re convoluting the easy GUI mapping mode and the JavaScript way of doing things?

I was working under the assumption, that this thread was about the former.

And so it’s arguably more comparable to working with the now legacy Generic Remote, which does not echo midi messages back to the sending remote device (while still sending midi messages from changes initiated by Cubase or other remotes).

So the approach Jochen offered for the next maintenance release seems to sound fine to me for the simple MIDI Remote mapping GUI.

I use my Midi Fighter twister with the generic remote and it’s far from “useless”. I doubt that the generic remote is going away any time soon.

You twist my words but I don’t want to go any deeper. They’ll no listen anyway.

true :wink:

I’m sorry, but it seems your interpretation was correct, and I was wrong in my optimism:

So what I’d like is if upon selection of a track, based on a string being present in the name (like “SM Horn”), that a specific page with mappings could be selected and a MIDI/OSC trigger be sent out, so that I could change pages in a TouchOSC setup - so if I select an SM Horn track, my TouchOSC immediately displays an appropriate editor with controllers specific to that instrument. Quick Controls are okay, but on more complex and controllable instruments one wants not just 8 knobs but often more like 3 knobs, ten faders and some keyswitches, maybe even a lot of them, and all labeled, and in positions best suited to their use with that instrument. And the goal here is for the user to always be presented with what they need in any context. How doable is this with the scripting?

Why do we need to address QC anyway, in the case of tablet control, when so much can be established simply by associating a page with the name of a track?

Unfortunately I can confirm that the 12.10 fix does not fix the problem. Bummer.

Dont k ow if this is interesing to anyone

Those are so cool, and if they were reasonably priced they would be selling as fast.
But they don’t really provide anything you can’t get from a Launch Control or MIDIMIX.

A measly 3 knobs with Monogram costs MORE than 24 knobs, 8 faders, and 16 buttons. +.

So why would you invest in Monogram?
It just doesn’t make any sense!

What has their response to all of the quality issues that have been reported? They offer a “Care Plan” that is more expensive that buying one of the above mentioned alternatives.

The price is just ridiculous! This is beyond the point of opinion, it is objectively a scam product.
