MIDI controllers don't work in PulsarMixer (especially EQ)

[ernest@303.nu]

strange and annoying problem (see also this topic):
it's impossible to attach MIDI controllers to the parameters of the built-in equalizers of the PulsarMixer (except for that stupid bypass-button, aaaargh ). The controller-assignment dialog box shows up, but it doesn't recognize incoming MIDI CC#'s.... Anyone else experiencing such a thing? Workarounds??
Some other knobs don't allow for MIDI CC# assignment as well, such as the (important) Ctrl Level knob.
My config: WinME/512mb, PIV-1700, PulsarII, 3.01 software.

PulsarMixers' built-in EQ's, compressors and Bus panel cannot be remote controlled. Ch. Volumes, Ch. Aux Sends and Pans can be remote controlled, as can custom inserts and about the whole MasterPanel.

I hope Cre@mware will fix this bug asap... until then I will keep putting PEQ4's into the channel inserts! (wasting DSP)

At least on my setup, the built-in compressor is fully remote-controllable. I'm actually tweaking it right now

i hope that changes as well.but calling it a BUG? (software error)

[ernest@303.nu]

ok, ok, THIS is a bug

The EQ thing is indeed mentioned in the manual, but there are other nono's around in the Pulsar mixer..... like why can't I assing a CC# to such a basic knob as the monitor level??? Even the preset-list can be shown/hidden using MIDI CC#'s! Let's call them 'ducks' instead of bugs.

Anyway, Pulsar is still a nice piece of gear, and apart from the daily occurance of the "nill reference on left side of '.'"-message and occasional PCI bus overflows (STS5000 timestretching ) the Pulsar Rocks like a duck!

fair enough.
