I can’t check on it right now but the solution was to also tick the option to send the snapshot on load in the LUA editor, otherwise the “Snapshot on load” option in ctrlrs menu wasn’t ticked.
Ok, I was eventually able to find the right settings.
Wasn’t easy though..I managed to fix some of the problems.
When I export it as a dll file it loads the presets in one panel (instead of opening each preset in a new panel).
I was also able to find a MIDi setting that seems to work as needed.Unfortunately Cubase crashed once when I closed the plugin..:(
Is it possible to automatically send the panel settings (=preset) to the synth instead of selecting “send snapshot” every time?
I think I’ve also found a bug in the MKS 50 panel (which is really nice apart from that) because the DCO range settings don’t seem to be saved correctly in a preset.
Sometimes they are saved, sometimes not.
StrangeOk, installing VS2010 stuff really helped a lot.
Now it’s recognized and can be loaded.But is it possible to save presets that will then be loaded in the same panel?
What’s also strange is that it won’t play back midi files when the plugin is selected as Midi Out.
And what’s also not so good is that no matter which midi track I’m on, the Midi data is always sent to the MKS-50.
I guess it’s due to the fact that there are now two midi hosts (Cubase and the plugin).
So I chose “None” as Input/outputs/controller and ticked “input from plugin host” and “output to plugin host” instead but that doesn’t work either (no Midi data is sent to or received from the unit)Is there a way to use this as a plugin in a really useful manner?
No, it’s the 32bit version on a 32Bit Windows.
But at least now I know where to track down the problem.
Ok, I tried it with Reaper and it seems to be recognized.
You don’t record audio from CTRLR you record audio from whatever synthesizer you are controlling, once again CTRLR does not process/generate any AUDIO data ever.
Yes, I’m aware of that and that’s why I was wondering as what kind of plugin it is (or should be seen) in Cubase since you can’t normally record VST instruments like you would with real instruments.
But anyway, it’s not recognized in Cubase 5.5 but I’ve just found out that it can be used in Cubase SX2 (!) so there is obviously something wrong with my Cubase 5.5
So if I get this right, although it is a MIDI plugin it isn’t seen as a MIDI plugin by Cubase?
But if it has to be loaded as a normal “VST instrument” in Cubase, how is it possible to record its audio output?
Because normally Cubase creates a mixer channel for every VST instrument but in this case this wouldn’t make a lot of sense, because it’s not really a VST instrument….No, I haven’t tried any other free hosts, but I might give it a try, which free host does it work with?
You mean this one?
http://www.microsoft.com/de-at/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679Ok, but where can I find the plugin?
When I installed the program it copied a dll file called “Ctrlr-VST-32.dll” to the VST plugins folder, is this already the plugin?
I can’t find it as a Midi plugin in Cubase.
It’s not even listed in the plugin information window.In the standalone program I’ve found the option to export the panel as an “instance” and it seems to work but it only creates an exe file, which of course can’t be used as a plugin…
I understand that I can save a snapshot of the momentary position of all sliders etc but I wonder if it’s possible to save these snapshots like presets in a list (in the computer).?
Furthermore the plugin doesn’t work at all.
The dll file ctrlr….dll (or the like) sits in the VST plugins folder but isn’t recognized by Cubase at all.
Not even in the plugin information window (where it should be at least listed).
I use Cubase 5.5 which isn’t the most recent version but it’s still a VST3 host so I guess it should be fine.
