SDK Update / Tango [SOLVED]

Welcome to the forum - I hope you like being ignored!

The Tango and Nuendo-5 do work very well together, but not Tango and Nuendo-6 and we do not seem to be getting anywhere.

Without any current comments from Steinberg we don’t know if they are helping SmartAV with this or whether they are deliberately not helping them in the hope that we will all go and buy Nuage (not going to happen!).

I have just asked Niko at SmartAV for an update on what is going on (if anything) so will post here when I get a reply.

The last email I had from Niko on this subject (20/08/13) was that Steinberg had responded to his email saying “they may provide some more information sometime in the future”

Hardly a workable solution !

Wow - they are obviously really keen to help out!

wow…Ok now I understand…
Some business guy from Digidesign have been fired and steinberg engage them… :smiley:
If I understand Nuendo become more and more hermetic to external controllers, and the best way to use this software correctly is to buy a Yamaha Nuage…
Bravo…you’re doing exactly the way digidesign does, and benito too, Adolf, Franco…and others I forgot…
:cry:
I was about to bought 3 licences…I would like to thank guy who complain in forum and opened my eyes…I was dreaming…thinking I’ve found the best solution for me and my crew…nuendo…and his nuage…oups mirage!!!

You could always buy a Nuage. Except if you’re in New York nobody knows where they are and where to buy them.

Good stuff. The ministry of ministries is governing the ministry of information adequately I think.

I would really be more confident in my multiple Steinberg purchases if someone would address these concerns. C’mon Timo, you can’t think this is a good thing. john.

Well…I’m running a N6 demo here with a SSL matrix, and what can I say? I miss a real control surface but I love it, I love it, I love it…
Please steinberg bring me tango and I will be the most happy in my job…

Hi Timo,

I know you are around, so perhaps you would be kind enough to take a couple of seconds to answer this:

Has anything been done ‘to speed up the process’? (certainly nothing has been done to keep us informed).

SmartAV have released a new version (v.3.2.2) which seems to cover many of the changes in N6.

There are lots of new programmable commands and the EQ seems to be working!

Good news, I would like to see it in action…

Hello,

yes, this update should solve the problems. We have just discussed the status with Smart AV
and they assured us that it will be the solution.

Thanks,
Timo

Oh, there you are - welcome back.

It’s good to see you comment on this subject Timo, I thought we’d lost you!

The new N6 EQ is now properly mapped to Tango which is a great step forward. What’s the situation with the new channel functions in N6 ( Tape/Tube Sat, Comps, trans shaper etc…) Will they be made available in the remote SDK?

Thanks
Andrew

Hello,

yes I’m still here :wink:
I try to be in the forums (and different topics) as often as possible.
However, I’ll go to AES/NY soon which means I need to leave the
forum again for a couple of days…

Thanks
Timo

This is a quote from an email I received yesterday from SmartAV: “…we have no way of controlling new N6 MixConsole parameters until Steinberg provides us with documentation / new Remote SDK”

At the moment the Tango can only open and close the Racks, so it would be great if the Channel Strip effects parameters were made available in the Remote SDK.

Hello,

the channel strip is a different topic. SmartAV - such as any other 3rd party - is using the remote connection kit at their own “risk” as it is not yet an “officially” supported Steinberg SDK. This is a known fact. However, as I stated in previous emails, we will try to help them where can to map the new parameters, even though they’re able to do it themselves.
I will push this topic again inhouse.

Thanks,
Timo

Hi Timo,

The Channel Strip is exactly what Blueman is referring to, not a different topic. Or would you prefer it if I started a new topic relating to why these new parameters do not appear to be available in the SDK and why the SDK is not yet officially supported by Steinberg even though N6 has been available for some time now?

Can you give any indication as to when Steinberg will officially support their own SDK?

I get the distinct impression that this whole issue is on the back burner for some reason; at least there certainly seems to be a nebulous nuage hanging over it!

Hello,

that is a good wordplay actually :wink:

The reason why it is taking so long is that the remote control kit is no “SDK” as per common definition. It’s rather an implementation on a developer level for those hardware companies not using HUI or EuCon. There are very few companies actually using the remote kit. However, that doesn’t solve the problem in your case.
As I said, we need to give it another push on both sides, Steinberg and SmartAV. In the long run I see however the necessity of turning the remote kit into a “real” SDK as we are getting more and more requests for a Nuendo integration with hardware that isn’t EuCon compatible.

When back from AES I’ll take care of that there will be this “push”. That’s all I can say from “on the road” so far.

All the best,
Timo

Thanks Timo,

I was pleased with that one too!

That is encouraging information.

Gute Reise und viele Glueck,

Chris

That’s good news Timo,

I really hope you can push this along, so we can all update to N6 & live happily ever after on Nuage 9 (sorry Chris, can’t top your wordplay)
