Title: multi-control using MIDI OX
Post by m127 on Feb 10^th, 2008, 3:51am

Hello all,

This is a question I post to Mackie and Steinberg support, but was wondering if any advanced user here knows the answer:

Hi,

I would like to use MCU to control Cubase 4 and Cubase Studio 4 which I run using system link.

I have found a configuration to re-route MIDI ports using MIDI-OX with a simple CC message (which changes MIDI OX MIDI routing presets).

Now I am able to control both applications running on different PCs.

The only problem I have left is to find out how to have MCU refresh positions as soon as I re-route the MIDI ports.

So far, I have to press the bank button on MCU to have it reposition sliders, v-pots, refresh the LCD etc.

I have observed that from the MCU setup window within the Devices setup in Cubase there is a "reset" button that makes MCU "refresh" its current settings when necessary.

My question would be> what kind of information be it a CC or a sysex message does Cubase sends to MCU for it to refresh itself?

I figured I might be able to have MIDI OX send this same data at the same time I re-route the MIDI ports, and finally have MCU re-setting itself to the settings of each system link application accordingly, in just ONE step.

I thank you kindly for your answer. I know I am not asking an easy question.

I have got this new idea of having Cubase connected to MCU via MIDI OX in the middle, in order to kind of intercept the data when I press the "reset" button in Cubase.

The data below is what Cubase "tells" MCU when pressing this button. Now I am trying to isolate the MIDI message that actually makes MCU reset.

I believe it is one of the sysex messages, but which one? Anyone?
