yes i know and if you look through the thread you will see how outraged i am about the non committal of a date and yet there is still no notification on the cmc thread to confirm this

I have a QC.

I think I'll refrain from buying C7 until this issue is sorted out.

[BriHar]

I wouldn't let it put you off. The issue will definitely be sorted,
There's a lot of stuff to learn in C7, and you can have concurrent installations of 7 and 6 or earlier versions.
By the time you're up to speed in 7 the update will be there.

on the other hand we have had this issue since the release of c7 and have no firm date for a fix so i would hold off till it's released

Again, QC no longer goes into "dark" mode when exiting Cubase. It goes to MIDI mode with all of the QC knobs powered up. Please turn everything off when exiting Cubase.

RTM. This is by design. Just hit the "EQ" button, or other, to turn them off.

It used to NOT be by design ... It needs to turn itself off when I close the program that it is attached to like the other controllers do.

I read somewhere that all issues would be solved in this update.. but.. apparently not everything were solved?

1.
Hiding a midichannel from mixerview should hide it in the CMC-FD, but how i try i can't get it to work.
Inputchannels doesn't show up either..

2.
Using Zoom-function from TP in keyedit doesn't work anymore.. it zoom's the projectwindow in the background though.

I'm pretty sure we are waiting on an update to the CMC software to fix the problems.
EDIT: Apologies, I didn't see that it had been released.

At least the knobs are turned off when exiting. Thank you for that ... can you please just turn it off when exiting that app though? I mean even the fader stays on on the CH.

Well the QC now controls EQ as it should

The issue with going into Midi mode when quitting Cubase is as jgaryt stated "by design".
This is explained in the Operating Manual.
The QC can function as a standalone midi controller when not being used in Cubase. In order to facilitate this, it must be in midi mode. If it's just the knobs being lit, I believe you can change this e.g. using the editor.

I'm not saying your request is wrong, I'm sure that this behaviour could be made an option. So, perhaps in a later update...

As I said before, I know it is by design. But, it is by a stupid design. If I want to use it as a stand alone MIDI controller, I can hit the MIDI button. If not, then you know ... stay off. At least the knobs are now properly zeroed.

But, no needed improvements like shift lock or the irritating "I'M HERE" message polling. Again by stupid design. It is in the MIDI spec, which the rest of the world implemented the way that doesn't irritate the users of their MIDI devices. So, back to unplugging them and in the closet they go until when/if there is another patch.

and have you noticed the eq's are set up different for c7 it's "Q" and gain control instead of frequency and gain ? not the same as c6

Only if you have the I/Q Learn button pressed as well otherwise it's freq and gain. It's explained in the manual.

hmmm ... since I had them boxed until the patch, I didn't notice. Doing this from memory ..

no mod
Top row = gain bottom row = freq

I/O button enabled
Top row = gain bottom row = Q

Isn't that how it was before?

[Guest]

your so right jm i completely forgot about the learn button lol cheers chap

Here's my list of stuff i can't get to work.. it would be splendid if somebody could verify.
Windows 8 64-bit
Cubase 7.0.2 64-bit
Tools 1.1.2 (XX-bit?)

1. CMC-FD: Excluding channels from view in mixconsole which should hide them from view in the faderstrip doesn't work - they still show up [CONFIRMED / Solved in 7.0.3 ]

2. CMC-FD: Touch-mode doesn't seem to work: The fader jump to where the finger is placed regardless of this setting in preferences. i.e setting this to eoither Jump or touch renders the same result.

3. CMC-FD: Setting a channel to "mute" or "solo" by using shift+ touching the faderstrip is no longer restricted to the bottom or the top of the faderstrip, it seems the "divider" is somewhere in the middle.

4. CMC-TP: Zooming in editors does'nt work

5. CMC-QC: When EQ gain on any channel is Zero the LED is still lit, i.e it's set to ramp-mode.. maybe this is possible to change but i couldn't find anything in the CQ-manual

There's probably more stuff
