I am very much interested in this product. It would be great if someone could explain whether what I want to achieve is possible with Midi Translator.

Basically, I would like to use Mackie Control's jogwheel to perform more tasks in Cubase / Nuendo depending on which modifier key is pressed... So for example Shift+Jog would adjust fade in, Option+Jog = fade out, Control+Jog = trim/extend event(region) start, Alt+Jog = trim/extend end, etc...

These parameters are easily accessible via MIDI (or key commands) from Cubase, but I am just wondering if it is possible to make the jogwheel control different parameter depending on which modifier key is pressed at that time.

Is this possible?

MANY MANY MANY MANY THANKS!

Hi,

Midi Translator is exactly what you need!

You need Rules for this (Pro or Author version). So, take a global variable e.g. "g0" and set this variable. Here´s an example.

Code: Select all

Translator 1: Shift pressed
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 00 7f 
Rules: 
  g0=1
Outgoing: (none)

Translator 2: Option pressed
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 90 01 7f 
Rules: 
  g0=2
Outgoing: (none)

Translator 3: FADE IN
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI 80 01 qq 
Rules: 
  if g0!=1 then exit rules, skip Outgoing Action
Outgoing: MIDI 80 10 pp

If you press shift, you set g0 to 1. And Translator 3 will reacts on Jog Wheel, but he is only executed, if shif (g0 = 1 ) was pressed!

Hope this helps?
