The problem is that if I’m using as a MIDI synth with XS editor in cubase, 16 midi channels, which puts XS to a song mode or I can press mixing mode - all sliders and knobs affect the selected instrument/track parameter inside XS. So if I use it as midi controller for any VSTi within Cubase (on a separate midi channel of course) - it works, but then it screws up all the setting for the track/instrument inside XS, because all knob movements affect XS too. If I press “remote” mode - knobs affect mixer in Cubase, and do not send MIDI data to an instrument. Is there a solution to this? Am I doing anything wrong? I want to use XS as an external synth, control it via XS editor from within Cubase, but also use it as a midi controller for many VST Instruments - it’s a good controller and it should be a trivial task… I thought maybe switch to voice mode and do the control, but then all the “song mode” instruments will not play back when running Cubase project, which would sound weird and place everything out of context. Any advice? |

You can control plugin parameters in Cubase with the XS in Remote mode. I’m not sure what you are doing in mixing mode. If you are using MIDI learn mode in the VSTs, don’t...use Remote mode. |

Thanks. Yes, I was thinking about using MIDI learn mode. But if there is no such solution I will try using remote mode… It’s less direct, needs more switching. |
