Use a script to remote cursor on marker position with midi controller in Cubase 13 pro

[BRUNO_VINCENT]

Hi Everyone,

On Cubase Pro 13, I uses a berhinger footswitch midi controller to remote cursor position on marker.

for the moment I use the midi assignation by using existing shortcuts '" go to marker 1, 2 etc.." but it’s limited to 9 markers.

I think it’s possible to create script files to use more than 9 markers. I tried to generate the script by chatGPT but th files seems not recognized.

is someone knows the real procedure with Cubase pro 13. and wat is the software I can use to generate script code compatible with Cubase Pro.

You can’t do this directly in Cubase. However there is Key Command To Marker X which will open a dialog box for you to enter a number. Unfortunately Cubase Macros don’t support passing in a number. So you can’t build a Macro to go directly to Marker 11 for example. FYI, Cubase doesn’t have a proper scripting capability since the Macros can’t deal with stuff like variables & constants or logical decisions. Basically Macros let you string together Key Commands one after another and that’s it.

Just for the fun of it, I created a script (MIDI Remote) for this job some time ago.

Navigating through more than the default 9 (or 15 in GR) markers using MIDI Remote

The marker locate commands in Cubase are currently limited to locating the very first 9 markers (we can go up to 15 but this can be the subject for another thread), or marker X, where we can input the marker number using our keyboard. Now, there are occasions where we’d like to assign to our MIDI controllers, more than these 9 markers. One way is to make use of the marker X command and trigger numeric values keystrokes using external utilities. However, this is actually doable using MIDI Remot…

Excellent.

The target is to remote with midi controller. not by keyboard entry. Cubase 13 pro is able to read script, but it must be compatible. I know Cubase is not able to make direct script. It request external software. but I dont know wich one and how to do it.
