Problem with Selected Channel Grid

MetaGrid Talk
1

I have a problem with the Selected Channel grid in Nuendo 14 on Mac.

It receives all changes from the selected channel, but it sends only some controls (e.g. mute, solo, transport). It doesn’t send any fader information, or rather the data it sends doesn’t affect the selected channel. I noticed that the fader data is sent through Metasystem MIDI In, even though the selected channel script is set to Metasystem Cubase Sync.

I also note, that the volume fader macro is set to a different MIDI CH/CC (10/16), than specified in MetaGrid Pro_Selected Channel.js.

var selectedTrackVolumeKnob = surface.makeKnob(0, 1, 1, 1);
try {
    selectedTrackVolumeKnob.mSurfaceValue.mMidiBinding
        .setInputPort(midiInput)
        .setOutputPort(midiOutput)
        .bindToControlChange(9, 16);

Metaserver 5.2.1

Do you have also the Generic Remote metasystem3.xml installed?

No, I removed those. I only left Generic Remotes for custom macros.

here’s what I see on my end:

Partial success…

I was able to make the faders for volume and pan work, by changing their object name to @selectedTrack. Doing this for the pan, also reset its assigned macro to cc16 ch10. After changing back to cc17, it works. The objects for sends don’t work.

It looks like MG is confused about which MIDI port to use for a macro–Metasystem Cubase Sync or Metasystem MIDI. If fact, I don’t see a setting for this in the MG object editor.

Bumping this. Please advise.
