I know that my beloved old Kawai K4 - I use that nowadays only as a keyboard, but no more producing sounds -
emits all the time MIDI active sensing - that drove me crazy, when I wrote my own MIDI processing software
but I never saw that in Cubase - since Cubase 1.0 on my ATARI ST.
Why is it so difficult to put a filter into the driver?
well it looks like we are not going to get an answer on this ,mind you it loks like steinberg have abandoned the forum just like they have abandoned certain hardware
Unfortunately, we got an answer (a disappointing one though):
“The “spiking” of midi-signals" is not a problem but a feature by design. You should not turn off the CMC’s midi output. You can however hiode the MIDI activity meter in the transportbar.”
It seems they are not even considering our request: please Steinberg, don’t remove the “feature by design” if you like it, just make its display switchable (on/off) for us who find it extremely irritating!!! Please!!!
As we are “only” at release 1.1 yet, I will wait for a possible next software or firmware release.
If by then these problems are not yet solved, the bidding can begin! Two CMC’s will become for sale after that!
I have gone used to using my keyboard for the functions the TP has to offer and as far as the QC is concerned … never had the pleasure to experience what aspects of living with Cubase they make easier.
Sorry but I’m not a Guinea Pig.
well it looks like even thou there was the promise from Steinberg to look in to this at the being I suppose it’s staying exactly how it is now . If I could find another controller to integrate with the QC’s and eq’s the same way as the qc I would bin the Qc as since starting this thread im still very pissed off with having to watch this midi activity all the time
Name one built in the last 15 years? My guess if there is one, it is a totally cheap POS. There used to be stage/light/rig controllers that did it. But, those don’t do it anymore either … for the same reason we are complaining. The MIDI indicator has for quite some time been an activity indicator, not a “HI I am here, Are you there? Yes, I am here, are you there?” That implementation has been dead a long time.
really I find that very hard to believe even thou I own neither of those which is funny really as I own 19 synths and loads of modules and not one of the cause this midi detection , so your telling me that the nord still shows this behaviour like this ,then you must have some sysex message option setup wrong because this behaviour is not normal with hardware
