Hi Kmxe The xml thing is a known bug. For some reason Cubase Sx Generic Remote commits mistakes when transcribing the script. It'll probably be fixed in next version. About your Knob #6, make sure it is really assigned to the controller you want. If you haven't changed the Learn/Edit/Store/Exit Function buttons, check manually in the unit if the assignment is really correct. If not, reset the unit and BC-Edit and see if BC-Edit shows the correct parameters when reading your unit. Another important thing is: do you have the latest Behringer Midi Drivers and Firmware. Check the website and make sure you do. The thing you describe about the push encoders happens to mine too. I think it isn't the unit, I think it's Cubase. And I'll tell you why: When you use Mackie Control Emulation mode (which I really recommend. After doing templates and stuff I finally ended using it) it doesn't happen. Mackie Control Emulation mode uses HUI protocol. When you use the Generic Remote Mode it happens. I just think the Cubase Generic Remote protocol is not yet fully implemented and developped. It is very recent too. They'll eventually fix it. I've found that the only thing you can do about it is just to wait for it to stop "dancing around". :-) Do you use a USB connection? Try using a Midi connection only (S-4 mode) and see if it happens again. USB connection many times gives errors. I began having an error from BC-Edit when trying to transfer sysex files. After a lot of trying and searching I found out that in S-4 mode and Midi connection only it works fine. So when I want toconfigure the unit I switch to Midi!!

Eventually he sent me a template for SX3 as a basic 8channel mixer control. Needless to say it worked. I compared the 2 .xml files in word pad and noticed the difference in the flags numbering. when i changed my .xml file with these same numbers, it worked. ive been trying to find a logical explanation for this, but i guess there is no logic - Cubase just screws this part up. Is this a known bug? anyways, now i have a problem with my push/rotary knob #6 in encoder group 1. It doesnt matter what i assign it to it doesnt work. im trying to figure out what could be causing it, but the more tests i do, the more i think i have a faulty unit. Another thing, this guy from Canada, set up the 1st 8 push button/rotary knobs (encoder group 1) to select the audio track (between 1-8). So by pressing the 2nd knob in encoder group 1, Audio track 2 is selected. However, it doesnt always work properly. what sometimes happens is that i press 1 of these push/rotary knobs (say number 3) and sx3 selects audio track 3, but then it would select audio track 2, and sometimes bounce back to audio track 3 - this is all with 1 press of the push/rotary knob. its almost as if sx3 receives a message from 1 of the other push/rotary knobs to select a different track. i wonder if you could try to set up 1 row of your push/rotary knobs to select audio tracks, and see if the same thing happens to you. i cannot think of why it would jump between selecting tracks.... it just doesnt make sense. --- In bc2000@yahoogroups.com, "Elea" <eleavampas@...> wrote: > > Hi Kmxe > > > > Cubase SX Generic Remote commits mistakes when recording the assignment > script (xml file).
