Midi Controller Probleme Cubase

[julianhofi]

Hallo Musiker!

Ich habe mir vor kurzem Cubase 8 geholt. Da ich noch ein altes Zoom R16 audio interface rumliegen hatte, dachte ich mir nehm ich es als Midi Controller her.
Das Problem ist aber, wenn ich das R16 für die Spur Quick Controls einstelle und die Fader schiebe, springt der Wert von 0 direkt auf 127.
Da ich nirgendwo eine Lösung finden konnte frage ich mal euch.

Hoffe ihr könnt mir weiterhelfen.

Danke schonmal!

Julian

Ich will aber das R16 als Controller entweder für Spur Quick Controls oder als Midi CC Controler für Kontakt einrichten. Ich hab nur keinen Plan wie. Wenn ich es als Spur Quick Controls Input einstelle, springt der Wert beim ziehen des Faders von 0 direkt auf 127...

Mahlzeit!

Vielleicht hilft das ja weiter ==> http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/Zoom_R16_R24
Ist zwar für Reaper, aber so dolle sollten die Unterschiede nicht sein ...

If you have a control surface such as the Zoom R16 / R24, you can use it to control some of REAPER's actions.
The available features include:

• Track volume (Faders 1-16/24)
• Track mute (Channel buttons)
• Track solo (Channel buttons)
• Arming tracks (Channel buttons)
• Start/Stop replay (Play/Stop)
• Start/Stop recording (Rec)
• Jog wheel usage for scrubbing
• Jumping to Start (STOP+REW)
• Bank switching (Bank buttons, no LED's)
• Cycle through markers forward/backward (FF/REW)
• Scroll timeline forward/backward (Left/Right)
• Scroll channel list forward/backward (Up/Down)
• Free usage of F1-F5 keys (see below)

Installation

• Install your Zoom device drivers as normal
  
• Connect device and wait for recognition
  
• Start Reaper
  
• Goto Options/Preferences/Control Surfaces
  
• Choose Mackie Control / Edit
  
• Set MIDI input/output to Zoom R16/24 Audio Interface
  
• Leave any other settings as they are
  
• For playback via R16 turn the Master Poti to "DAW"

DON`T: Choose Zoom R16/24 as MIDI Device under Audio!
You will get annoying errors!
Defining the F1-F5 keys

• Goto Options/Preferences/Keyboard
  
• Choose "Assign Keyboard shortcuts"
  
• Search command to be assigned to F-Key
  
• Click on the chosen command
  
• Click "Add..." under "Shortcuts for selected action"
  
• Press desired F-Key
  
• Click ok
  
• Repeat for other F-Keys

Using the Channel Buttons for Play/Mute/Rec

• The Master button works as a toggle switch
  
• All channel buttons change when pressing the Master button
  
• Active function is displayed
  
• The Channel LEDs do not work

Changing banks

• The bank buttons select the asigned bank to the faders
  
• 1-8Tr selects Track 1-8 and assigns tracks to faders
  
• 9-16Tr selects Track 9-16 and assigns tracks to faders

Workflow for external recordings with R16/24

Many people want to use their Zoom R16/24 for recording of demos and rehearsals and
do the final mixing on the pc using a DAW.
So here is the workflow:

1. Record your tracks as usual with R16/24 (name the tracks, will save hassle later)
2. Use R16 as card reader (switch R16 to card reader mode, or use any other cardreader) to copy your files from card to pc
3. Switch R16 to audio interface mode (DO NOT START REAPER YET - Wait til device is recognized)
4. Fire up reaper
5. Create project in reaper
6. Import audio files to reaper
7. Mix your project using R16 as a control (record automation data)
8. Export your mix to wav/mp3/whatever
9. If you want to playback the mix with R16 export as .wav to card

Known problems

• The channel status LEDs do not work (they work with Mackie Tracktion)
  
• The R16/24 has to be in DAW mode before starting Reaper
  
• The bank LEDs do not work

Ok Danke!
Man kann das R16 wohl nicht als midi controller verwenden. Schade.
