Hi,
What do you mean by "Quick Comtrol Pages"? There are no pages. There is 8 controls (by hard).

At least for VST controls (versus TRACK controls) there are more pages available. Key words here: REMOTE CONTROL EDITOR

Re: Access vst quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
Hi,
Remote Control Editor has nothing to do with Quick Controls. This editor you can use just with a few dedicated controllers (Yamaha Nuage, System 5-MC, Avid Artist Series / S3 / S6 and WK-Audio ID). Quick Controls are universal and you can use them with any HW controller.
In fact, there is a user request to be able to map Quick Controls to the Remote Control Editor.
Btw: By the Remote Control Editor you can control any plug-in parameter (VST or VSTi) from the dedicated hardware controller.

Re: Access vst quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
I'm using VST quick controls with a nanoKontrol2. generic. That's the purpose of quick control. Assign whichever midi control to the 8 pots. Dedicated controllers would go deeper and better I guess.
VST versus TRACK quick controls is in the manual, REMOTE CONTROL EDITORS too.
HEre's a screeshot. TRACK quick controls on the left (for the audio channel 17-18) and VST quick control on the right (for the MINI V2 instrument, where you can see the "page" tab which is the subject of this post.

Hi,
As I said, Remote Control Editor doesn't work with your Generic Device (nanoKontrol 2).

Re: Access vst quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
It DOES work. The ONLY issue is that I can't switch those pages, and I'm not the only one. (see also viewtopic.php?f=226&t=72101 and viewtopic.php?f=226&t=72086)Martin.Jirsak wrote:Hi,

I guess we're not talking about the same thing. There are two types: TRACK QUICK CONTROLS and VST QUICK CONTROLS... etc. Is in the manual I linked screenshots in my previous post.

Operation_Manual.pdf of Cubase 8.5.20, page 664:
"The Remote Control Editor allows you to define your own Mapping of VST plug-in parameters to the Controls of the supported hardware controllers.".
I'm sorry, Generic Device is not supported hardware controller.

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
Hi Martin.
I think both of you are right. RCE is meant for specific hardware but you can use it to choose which parameters are loaded as default quick controls for a plugin.
Oddly it doesn't work with Halion.

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
That be cool. I'd love to be able to switch pages via MIDI as well on the VSTQC. I use at leas 3 pages on some of the U-he synths. I'm usually able to create macros with keyboard Maestro for stuff like that. Did the same for opening corresponding audio track channel settings on a MIDI chanel.

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
I think it does work, iirc, with the MCU remote, which the Korg can emulate.

Hi,
Yes, but MCU doesn't have an access to the Quick Controls. Or am I missing something?

I thought this was about the Remote Control Editor, talking about switching pages...

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
This was discussed in this topic:
viewtopic.php?t=81229
"wilcofan" apparently wrote a "auto hot key" script to change pages in the RCE but I can't get a hold of him.
It's crazy that there isn't a GR or keywitch to change pages in the RCE...

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
iirc the Mackie (MCU) page command does that. But it's been a long time, and my memory is better than ever. Wait. Worse.

Re: Access VST quick controls pages via midi or shortcut
Thanks Steve but it's really convoluted to set up pages i na Mackie Control, let alone with VST Quick Controls.
