Help needed

I'm working with cubase and a microkorg as a controller. Got a M-audio 1814 soundcard.

now, I'm not able to control vst-plugins with my microkorg anymore. Is there a secret, hidden button which I have to push?

it used to work ... I know how to select the source and the vst-plugin my microkorg can still control the virus C I checked the midi cables I can send midisignals to the virus from my soundcard

i think u can use the "midicontrol" track in the midi voice where u put quantizer, arpache,...

Choose a CC like CC10 for the pan and its ok

it's a rather vaque explanation ...

but, a while ago, when I made a midichannel (chn 1), connected the korg to the midi-input (chn 1) and pushed a key, I saw in the midichannel a meter corresponding to my pushin' finger ... not anymore now.

when I open for example the vst-minimoog, select the corresponding miditrack, push the record button and play the keys with the mouse (on the screen :-)) it doesn't record anything ...

there are no secret hidden buttonz in cubase... soundz kinda abstract (just like midi itself sometimez)

try problem-solving step by step:

  1. when you press a key on your mikrokorg, does the red midi-input-meter on the *transport-bar * indicate it is receiving your signal??? if not, re-check cablez, i know u think it's stupid, but it wouldn't be the first time, believe me... and at this point u can define if it's a hard-or software problem

  2. when you select a track, you get general info on the left: midi input is default set to all midi devices, which should work fine but try selecting your *M-audio midi * maybe, the output should be your vsti

  3. still in the same track-info, u see channel -settingz; best set to 1 or any. some vsti'z do not respond on channel 2,3, etc.

  4. if u still don't hear a sound, check your *midi-setup * and *midi-filter * settings, maybe there's a secret button there...

PS it's normal that cubase doesn't record the keys of a vsti, use your hardware keyboard...

good luck :D

problem still exists:

  • checked the cables
  • used another midi controller but still no midi sign in the midi-activity-box in cubase.

anyone ever had the same problem? suggestions?

sorry, but it still soundz abstract 2 me...

if u have a hardware keyboard midi out going to your M-audio midi in, you should see a red meter in the *transport bar *when u press a key (i'm not sure if u call this the midi-activity-box, but i think u mean the track or channel info on the left, no?).

by default cubase midi-tracks are set to *all midi devices *so it should receive a signal. the only thing i can think of is a midi filter, cablez or a windows problem in correspondence with your M-audio...

if it's really driving u mad, i might give u a visit since schoten is not that far from kalmthout... just ask, ok? it's easier 2 see it with my own eyez, u know...

good luck again...

well, it's very strange ...

I installed the edirol-midi interface and that works perfect with cubase (can control softsynths with the korg). So I don't think it's in the filter.

the only thing I think of now is the M-audio midi-in cable (one of the little cable that's hanging on the portconnection to which you connect the normal midi-cable). But then again, that midi-out cable works perfect. I can control the virus with cubase.

Grrr ...

yes, very strange... cubase filters only sysex by default so that should indeed not be the problem.

well, running out of optionz here, i believe it's not cubase causing the trouble here... ?(
