midi thru should be active;
in sx be shure to assign the miditrack In to usbcontroller - and Out to scopes sequencersource;
go to recmode on miditrack;
select correct midichannel
hope that helps

hi,

ty for your reply, it use to work the I had it, all of the sudden it stopped, scope is not recieving midi messages, Cubase yes. Where do I activate midi thru, I did some recordings first time it was hooked it worked like charm, now it won't , what's wrong?

cheers,

afaik, the track must be record enabled to pass signal thru....

in the inspector of the track there is a small button rightsided of the recordbutton under the solobutton with a speaker on it called monitor this should be active (yellow) and rec should be active
maybe thats your problem

hi,

I don't think I'm being clear here, I had recorded track while on USB last monday, Scope was getting midi activity signal, the problem is not Cubase ,as I get midi activity there, whereas, Scope no. I know how to deal with midi in cubase, If I use normal midi cable, it works, but does not work while on USB, I've tried to uninstall it samething, dunno what's going on it's a mistery, I'd like to use USB as it's more versatile than midi thru,

cheers,

hi,

ty all for your replies, this is the most friendly site on the planet, everyone's willing to help a brotherZ, I've fixed the problem by simply pluging the midi cable , as Scope works only on midi cable, in order to use USB, both midi and USB cable must be connected, I'm happy again , so I'm back on the road again, thanks again for your interest,

cheers,

good to hear you solved your probls.
but it should work also without midicable connected;
usb to cubase - cubase to scope
it works for shure; at least here in vienna

hi,

I did that and made all the corresponding configuration in Cubase, but wasn't successful , that's how I discovered the midi and USB connection, but I'll try again when I get back home tonight, thanks again for your reply,

regards,

i know i'm stating the obvious, but to get midi to scope via usb, you must put a sequencer midi source module in the routing window and then, in a track in cubase, make usb the source, and creamware midi in/out as the destination and record enable the track. then in scope, connect the sequencer midi source to the required device. it MUST work.
