MIDI controller messages to Live in rewire slave mode.

Post by buzzlegs » Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:27 pm

Hi,

I'm running Live 6 running as a Rewire slave in Cubase SX (Mac OSX) acting as a Rewire host. Within Live, I can successfully edit MIDI mapping so I can control Macro parameters with rotary encoders on my MIDI controller. I can also have Live playback a MIDI sequence recorded in Cubase.

But.... I can't seem to get Live to respond to the MIDI controller messages sent from a Cubase sequence.

How can I get Cubase -> Rewire -> Live to work together with arbitrary MIDI control messages?

I'm really enjoying Live, but I really want to have automation envelopes for Live stored in Cubase sequences!

Cheers.

Timur

You could try virtual Midi cables (MidiYoke, MidiPipe) and send the CC via those from Cubase to Live. I don't know if you experience a limitation or a bug with Rewire, but this workaround could help.
