Moog Music Forum

I've been using midi with my Voyager, but had only been controlling the envelope gate. Last nite I played with using midi cc to control the rest of the knobs - I can't believe I didn't try that sooner. A whole new world has opened up on my Moog.

My question is, is there anybody out there using Cubase SE with their Voyager? I have some specific questions on cc messages that Cubase maps.

Thanks.

I use a voyager with SX3 so fire away...

Thanks. I answered my question myself -- I couldn't figure out how Cubase was mapping the cc values, some had different names, for exaple, General Purpose 4 is 19 on the Voyager. I just selected each one and made note of it. Now I see that I can set up midi devices with the cc controls defined, so I'll try that as well.

Thanks again, I may bother you later, though.

Tuned -

I'm also using Cubase SE (on an Apple Mac G4). From time to time I run into issues like yours. FWIW, the Cubase forums on Yahoo and Cubase.net have not been very helpful. Seems like most folks there are running the more advanced versions of Cubase and haven't responded at all to the few SE questions I posted.

Glad to hear you found a workable solution. If you have any interesting musical results from your experiments with MIDI CCs on the Voyager, please consider posting them.

Cheers!

Greg and Suth, how do you guys handle pops or clicks? I'll play my Voyager via midi, the record a couple of bars of that to audio. Of course if there are sharp changes at both ends of the loop you'll get a click.

I used to use Soundforge for this - I'd record a bit longer than what I really wanted, then select the loop I wanted in SF (Minus he extra parts) and run the crossfade function at 1%. This got rid of the pops and the cross fade was unnoticable.

I haven't been as sucessful with SE's wav editor. Any ideas?

Sorry for the Cubase question, but it is at bottom about the Voyager

tunedLow,

I only use cubase for all my audio editing duties (well, other than batch jobs where I use a variety of freeware/shareware tools). In the case you describe I try to line up the audio part so that the beginning and the end is as close to a zero crossing as possible (sometimes you only need to move the part of few samples either way) and then use the volume envelope on the audio part itself.

suth.
