The Panning section in the modified Selected Channel Grid now looks like thisā¦
Ergonomics. I asked the exact same question.
Are we going to be able to add these objects to our own grids. I use a dedicated grid per instrument when mixing and it would be great to add these objects so as to reflect the plugins name rather than my current āinsert 1ā āinsert 2ā etc.
yes, you will be able to add these objects to any grids
please, I want this on an ASUS touch screen⦠or anything other than an iPad.
Not related to Cubase, but will you sometime implement the same with Ableton? Like, at minimum, the name retrieval, mute, solo, etc? That would be awesome.
Thanks.
Is it possible to detect the panner type in the MIDI remote variant so that panner changes also automatically between, balance, stereo and surround panner?? (perhaps I got misunderstood due to citing the old generic remote setup)
yes, we have got the Ableton Live deeper integration on our to-do list in Q3 2025.
Not really, it needs to be user selectable I guess.
A thing that I would really like to have as part of the Metagrid Cubase MIDI Remote is a special grid that would allow the user to navigate Track Selection in the Project.
What I mean with this is something that Softube Console 1 is doing with their MIDI Remote script, i.e. you have the possibility to select tracks in the current project with buttons that are colored with the corresponding track color. When you select a track, the Console 1 display is updated with the track name.
How I immagine this in MGP is that the user create a grid with, letās say, 48 buttons, and these buttons receive track names and colors from Cubase and the user can tap a button to select the corresponding track. Also a couple of special buttons would exist to navigate project that have more than 48 tracks, like you do banking on a Mackie Control; when you move up a bank the buttons would update with the corresponding track names and colors.
Something like this is the most useful function I found when I tried the Avid Eucon Control free app that can be used with Cubase. Problem was that the Eucon software would slow down quite a lot the project loading time in Cubase and sometimes it would crash Cubase so I ditched it and switched to Metagrid for good. Anyway I really hope something like this can be implemented, I think it can, given that Softube have done it with their MIDI Remote script; I tried to have a look at the Console 1 script, but my programming skills are nearly non existent, so I donāt think I can obtain something by myself.
Using project templates helps a lot. This way you can use MGP to show/hide tracks that you want to use with the PLE in Cubase. And you also get to set up buttons with correct names and colours in an ergonomic layout. Itās better for muscle memory as well - having everything in the same place rather than things constantly moving around on you.
Thanks for your reply, I do use templates and visibility actions for my orchestral works, but for other type of projects that I do I really would like my suggestion to be implemented. As I wrote, it seemed great on the Avid app, if only it worked flawlessly. I really hope that @Przemek will chime on this and tell us if itās doable
Thatās an interesting discussion. To be honest, MetaGrid Pro Mixer MIDI Remote device is on our To do list. However, I donāt know yet what will be the scope of this implementation but having the track selector for the entire project is something I have personally dreamt about for a long time. And in our Lemur times we had a solution that enabled you to select tracks based on 4 MCU devices. As far as the MIDI Remote lis concerned, I think it is possible to iterate through all track and get their names etc. but I am not sure about the performance - we will definitely make tests to see if it viable. Anyway, letās first release the Selected Channel integration.
Thanks for your reply, @MetaGrid_Admin If youāre interested, I can send you the Console 1 Script to look at how they did it, I suppose thereās noting illegal with this
Please do - will be very helpful.
I appreciate all the work you are doing but is it just me or this whole project looks like a way to turn my iPad to a second monitor showing the track settings? basically like another touch screen monitor! I always thought MGPās strength was its ability to program macros and send dozens of commands with one button. We are missing the new commands in C14 such as New Drum Track or Open Pattern Editor.
I hope I am wrongā¦
A second touchscreen monitor that can be customised by rearranging, prioritising, personalising, adding and removing the objects thereon. And all these objects can be added to any grid.
Done via private message!
MGP main strength is its flexibility - you can make it your own fine-tuned to your needs and workflow. We look at this as an input device like mouse or keyboard, rather then a touch-enabled second display. With the new MIDI Remote integration it is getting just more context-aware in Cubase. You can pick what you need and put it all together into a viable solution that saves your time and add the fun factor your workflow.
I love the Cubase selected channel Midi remote!!!
Brilliant peace of work you did here.
Will there be a page with 16 inserts and with 8 sends or will I be able to create this on my own without messing with the script?
