Unfortunately, first time I've needed to go back one Cubase version. When these will be fixed?

These prevent me from scoring at the pace I’m used to with Cubase, so I’ve been back on C14 in order to keep my workflow up, which I’ve never needed to do in the past with any version. Can I get an estimate on when these two issues will be fixed? I so very much want to use C15 but I just can’t, it costs me too much time with these. (PLEASE do not add on to this thread with other issues, you are more than free to start another. :slight_smile:)

1: Not yet acknowledged as an official issue, though it is definitely one.

2: (Can’t find the thread it’s on, but it was acknowledged a while ago): When editing multiple events simultaneously in the piano roll editor, one always remains dark, which makes it very hard to edit properly.

Not acknowledged because Steinberg changed the design consciously. There is a chance, I think, that the new design will stay.

If you find the link please add it. Just by your description I don’t really know what the problem is.

They did, yes. But when it’s disabled, which you can do, it should revert completely to the former way, which was such a useful and fantastic time-and-effort-saving feature that’s been there for many years. It’s a monumental pain otherwise, for me and others who have been chiming in on that thread (and other threads). Again: The new feature is totally fine, it just needs to revert to the former way when disabled.

For #2: See below…but it’s till not working properly for me. Might be an issue with my particular set up.

for #2 it’s working as expected for me, only selected notes are dark (black with note color outline), disabled track are dim (based on preferences value for how dim you want them), but not black, so very clear what track i am working on and what notes are selected, of course you need to part editing mode to be set to active part rather than all parts, but that was the case in C14 as well.

Unless i am misunderstanding..

Thank you so much for your post. Something is odd for me here, am trying to figure out how to show you.

Here’s what’s happening. You can see that things don’t switch to black for only the track I’m editing. When I open the piano roll the first track’s MIDI notes are already black before anything is selected. Then the issue I’m referring to happens to the other when its MIDI notes are selected. You can see how this makes editing impossible, especially on more complicated layers, for multiple reasons including that you can’t see what’s muted in the tracks MIDI notes you aren’t working on. In C14 it worked exactly as your videos show.

It looks like it’s working perfectly for you though, so I’m not sure what the answer is…tried disabling Prefs and plugins, which didn’t fix it.

yeah, unfortunately i can’t replicate the issue on my end, but what happens if you switch color from Velocity to Part? do those notes still open as black?

also, are you able to recreate the issue from scratch in a new project?

Thanks again for the help. I tried switching it to Part (and others) and the issue still happens, also happens on a new project.

Will try a re-install. I’m on Mac Sequoia and don’t know what else it could be after I tried disabling both preferences and plugins.

I’m just passing by, but I really appreciate you posting this information. Since updating to Cubase 15, the notes in inactive MIDI parts have been quite dark and a bit inconvenient for me, but adjusting this setting solved the issue.

The “Inactive Note Event Intensity” setting did not exist in Cubase 12, at least as far as I’m aware. That’s probably why I hadn’t noticed this option before.
