Re: Re: Assigning Midi in Cubas and Kontakt 4 for Z-tar

Yeah, I'll only use User Kits after 8 as you have recommended. 

I didn't have a plan to assign preset maps. I created custom maps thinking that all would go according to plan. I'll scrap that until things get going better. 

The friend Harvey has assigned to me has recommended that I use Midi Ox while playing from zones set to channel 2 to see what the Midi Ox monitor has to say about it. I'll be doing that when I get home from this internet cafe.

Also, instead of using one of the kits 1-7 and instead of using Kontakt 4, I used one of the user kits above 8 last night and loaded a different software synth. (Unlike Kontakt 4 which I can load into Cubase using the Project drop down menu, I must use the Devices drop down menu's VST Instruments option and choose to give a midi channel also with the instrument, 

otherwise there's no way to set midi channels in the inspector window since you can't do it from the instrument as far as I can see, unlike Kontakt 4.) 

Previously  when clicking the Send softkey while in the Ztar's Midi screen, the signal would only light the transport panel's midi activity window. 

Now that I'm using a different kit and not using K4, I see activity on the channel's midi fader set to channel 2 but if I try to play the instrument there's still no sound if only highlighting the track set to midi channel 2 except that both instruments play simultaneously from the zone assigned to channel 1.

If I create a channel w Kontakt 4 on Channel 2 and highlight it, the Ztar's send feature pings the transport panel but not the track's fader.

Hoping Midi Ox will reveal the issue later today.

Thank you so much for your very valuable assistance.

All the best...
