CMC PD Velocity options

Steinberg Hardware

For anyone who’s interested, I found a solution to this problem by using virtual MIDI port software and a Cubase MIDI plugin so you can set a minimum velocity threshold for PD buttons to trigger. (I have mine set at about 30 so if I push them at a velocity that’s below 30, nothing happens).

First you need to download and install this software:

  1. Set up a MIDI channel with the CMC-PD as an input.
  2. Use the ‘Context Gate’ MIDI insert to stop any low velocity signals from passing through.
  3. Set the output to LoopBe1
  4. Set up a Generic Remote with LoopBe1 as the input and programme your CMC buttons as you wish.
  5. Save this into your default song file so that you don’t have to set it up again!
