Virus CC controls in Cubase5 to softsynths

[TheHobbit]

Dup post from official forum ( I prefer this forum much nicer). *creep - blurgh*

Hi

Frustrated and banging my head. Know this is simple but my Virus wont play ball with me here so *HELP* please.

Knobs are moving fine adjusting freq cut off/res/reverb/etc anything I want in the virus I can see is moving the corresponding knobs in the right channels in the virus ti vst in Cubase 5.

What I am trying to do is for Cubase to recognise the Virus's Knobs in the midi panel or midi learn in soft synths for example Sylenth1.

I have a multitude of midi synths and all are working fine, so on the Prophet 08 I press learn in Sylenth or Learn in Cubases midi controller it picks it up and assigns.

Do the same with the Virus and nothing. In the track channels I have tried midi input all, midi input 3 (as the Virus is on a MOTU Midiexpress 8x8 and also TI MIDI in.

I kow it's going to be something simple but just cant get the thing to work.

Also can someone help me with templates - how do they work ie : does a template have to take a patch slot (cant wrap my head around it).


PS : Yes I have the tracks armed with (green 'r') and (red 'w'). Still nothing.

In short I do not believe my virus is sending the knobs cc parameters over midi only internally to the virus vst plugin

Help my creative juices have lost their ginseng!!!

What I am trying to achieve is midi learn in sylenth1 with the virus as the controller.

I know I am doing everything right as I have a Prophet 08 which doesnt have encoders but does respond on the midi learn function. I have gone into the template location and tried setting up manually (changing the midi channel behaviour to enable/disable.

What I cant get is the virus to do it damn job.

I have tried creating templates, receive midi all inputs in cubase, slected midi input for MIDI TI, MOTU input 3 which is the virus's midi setup location on my rig. I am not a daft muppet but I AM DEFINATELY overlooking something really simple.

The enable Midi Send you mention where is taht no referenece in the manual.

Thanks and frustrated.

What would also be useful as this is what I am tryingt o achieve with no avail is a good reference page for vrt files for various plugins :

Sylenth (surprise)
Massive
Kontakt

Again nothing in the manuals about templates which might have been useful (cant see anything in the Quick Start or Refence manuals (really shit imho)!!!

Thanks in advance.
