Hey! cool that you are working on the Platform.
I have everything working as I wanted (except the LEDs). With Cubase 12 Midi Remote… you can do whatever you want in terms of buttons and funcionality, SUPER EASILY. BUT!!! the darn LEDs, that is another story, I can’t get them to work, not as CC, not as Note…, not as button, nor as toggle button… something in Cubase is not completing the “hand shake” I believe, and I am hoping that in an update this could get addressed. I hope Steinberg is watching.
Also, I’ve been watching that the Toggle button is kind of glitchy sometimes, because something there is still not checked in totallity (I believe, for it’s programming in Cubase, it needs to address more scenarios to not leave certain combinations out and not letting the controller or even Cubase itself, that the toggle should be off or on. Example: I press a macro to unmute and un/solo everything at once, and Cubase doesn’t tell the midi controller to toggle off the button, so I have to press it 3 or more times to let it keep its real current state. NOTE: I experiment with CCs, with Notes and with Toggle and regular buttons… none works correctly)
Pages are super straight up and easy to configure, and as many as you want.
Quick Controlls are GREAT! and transmit immediatly back to the motorized faders.
Some buttons I assigned functions and Macros that I’ve created. Everything here does function super well (except, you guessed it… the LEDs! )
I don’t know if it is possible here in this forum, but I might send a Video, which will be 1000 more explanatory than my attempt to redact clearly.
So, at the moment, the following issues need to be fixed in CUBASE’s Midi Remote…>
1- The LED’s don’t work correctly.
2- We need maybe a SCREEN watermark message, maybe at center right, that last X configurable time, maybe a fraction of a second, to let us know what function you pushed… or configure to always show the last command entered… to me that would be great to not have to double check.
3- BitWig, for example, adds a color flag above the parameter you are controlling with a spescific fader or knob, so you know that your fader 3, for example, is red… you see a parameter you want to controll on screen that has the red flag… you go direcly to that fader. … as it is right now, sometimes I don’t get it right the first time and have to wiggle the fader to check what is controlling…takes you out of focus and it robs you precious time. Because of this, I haven’t used more than 2 PAGES yet, I better reserved my faders to QuickControlls.
4- The Surface controll band that Cubase adds to the tracks side thats to your left, to let you know that those are the tracks the current BANK selection is controlling. . . . this is not working properly also. And you can’t edit its color (as you can in Logic Pro X, for instance) so if you have more than one Midi controller. . . . they are not just overlaped, but the same color… and you can discern between them … (I will explain better)
All this above are just minor things to have it all working meticulously pefect.
In the meantime, as I have the setup right now, Iam doing better (WAY BETTER) than with just a little more than the Mackie Controller that other DAW’s can offer, mostly for this motorized faders. So I am happy, but still looking for the perfect setup.
