I’m really digging into getting my SQ-6 set up as a front end for Nuendo. It will be the centerpiece of my workflow.
I have a number of suggestions regarding the MIDI functionality and DAW control. I am unable to achieve a configuration that works for the following:
Requests:
* Global Mute and Solo defeat in the DAW
* Scribble strip support (track name) for the faders/channels — this is infuriating because after a bank move you have no idea what each fader does
* Transport Shuttle/Jog on a soft knob
* Support for built-in features of the DAW such as control room. (Though I’d like to see that done native in the SQ-6)
* Channel record arm/disarm
Perhaps the ability to dedicate a layer to DAW control where everything in that layer is understood to be an interface to the DAW? That would allow us to totally take over the surface in a unique way on that layer only and implement something more robust to interact with the DAW.
.. I’m sure as I’ll play I’ll find more. What I’m looking for is something closer to what I had with an Avid Artist Mix and Artist Transport set up. These were very good at providing a more tactile interface to Nuendo. I don’t need everything those can do, but would like more than I have with the SQ-6 so far.
