How to make Qu32 for controller in Cubase

[slowhand73]

Hi guys,
sorry for my english, I’m from germany 😉

So my problem: I bought a Qu32. First I tryed it on a PC – no way to work. Now I have a MacPro and the first 16 channels works to controll my DAW. But what to do, that the channels 17-32 works. ????
MacPro 2012, Qu32 V1.6 Cubase 8

So can anybody tell me, what to do on Mac – Cubase – Qu32 to get 32 channels to control.

Hi, I’m using the QU32 with Cubase 7.5 on Mac, as the centrepiece for my home studio.

You need to make sure that in ‘Device Setup’ you have four Mackie Control instances under Remote Devices. You need to configure the MIDi Input and Output of each to the ‘DAW Control MIDI’ i/o from the A&H DAW Control app.

See the attached screenshot. Beware that the assignments need to be:

Mackie Control -> DAW Control MIDI 4
Mackie Control 2 -> DAW Control MIDI 3
Mackie Control 3 -> DAW Control MIDI 2
Mackie Control 4 -> DAW Control MIDI 1

That should work. You can also set up Generic Remote devices under both Mac and Windows, but I’ve not explored this much as the basic A&H DAW Control app works pretty well for me for the moment.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers,
David

So now I work with PC. I have send back my Mac, because it’s to expensive. But on PC/Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, Mackie Control doesn’t work. So I make a generic controll. But in this mode the auto select function doesn’t work.
The lamps on qu32 don’t work too. When I select a channel (1), the green light switches on and when I select another channel (5), both lights are on, and so on. The lights doesn’t turn off….

Only Problems.

Cubase don’t seem to care about the velocity when using a generic control. That’s why you won’t be able to get the LEDs (lamps) to work properly.

ok, but when I will use MackieControll there is no reaction. And there’s only to choose Midi Qu32 In and Midi Qu32 out – so no Midi 1,2,3 or 4 ?

No Mackie control on PC. In Cubase, Devices, Device setup, Add a Remote Device and select Generic Remote. From there you can make Cubase “learn” the console and assign the commands. Make sure you checked the “learn” box. Check this video for more details if you don’t know what to do from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeNyL136b64

yes, I have make it this way – but however, the auto select function and the lamps are the problem, but I can work so. Perhaps A&H is going to bring a new driver for PC – I wish.
