MIDI Panel Int+Midi question
 

I want to be able to freely MIDI learn parameters in my sequencer without worrying about trashing whatever patch I've put together on my Virus KC. So, I tried setting MIDI Panel->Midi, and it almost works... but the buttons don't send midi apparently, and so I can't bounce it back into the Virus via the sequencer. This means I can't fully control the Virus (picking various oscillators to edit, etc) until I set the mode back to MIDI Panel->Int+Midi.

Any ways around this? Do I just have to deal with it and manually change modes all the time? If so is there a way to automate it from a sequencer, such as SysEx etc?

I've searched everywhere and haven't found any information on this... too many damned anti-virus spam sites on the intarwebz! :P

Actually, I should mention that there IS a CC for it - listed in the back of the KC manual, it's code is C121 (Panel Destination) but I'm a bit baffled how to send these "third page" CC codes in Cubase. It's my first external synthesizer so I've never had to grapple with issues like this before, be nice!:cool:

OMFG. I forgot to uncheck filtering of SysEx messages in Cubase. Wow. Problem solved. Hope this saves someone the 10 hours it took me to figure this out. For some dumb reason I just kept assuming that the Virus didn't send SysEx messages, shows how much I know about hardware. :lol:

[Go to File->Preferences->MIDI->MIDI Filter and uncheck both SysEx options.]

if youre using cubase 5 then set up the quick controls
and yuo should be able to tweak everything on the virus
