VariOS & Cubase SX3 Midi setup...

[Kang]

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up my VariOS to work as a MIDI slave to Cubase but i'm not having much luck.

The manual that came with it is stupidly outdated, it's got a guide for setting up the midi sync in Cubase VST! lol

Anyone with any insight i would greatly appreciate it.

I'm going to upgrade the V-Producer software to V3 and i'm also going to update the VariOS firmware to V1.7. I might have better luck after that but who knows.

Also i'm using an M-Audio Radium 61 as my main controller. It is hooked up via USB as is the VariOS. Is this an issue?

Cheers.

Kang.

It's been a while since I set up Cubase (I use Tracktion 2 now.)

I found a simple way was to add a midi track outputting to the VariOS midi SYNC track. Don't send midi notes here - it's just a sync track.

I think MTC is best to send to the VariOS as it will track back and forth along with cubase. Rather than just stop start messages.

V Producer 2.5 is more stable than V Producer 3 but three has a better arp.

On the M-Audio Radium I think you'll find you've picked exactly the right keyboard - go to the roland site and down load the maps for using the Radium with the VariOS

So did you get it working?
