How to make Template with a choice of 50 markers in Cubase ?

[mysticgs]

Hello everyone.
I'd like to use my Ipad and Lemur as a music player control.
I have one track with 50 songs and cycle markers (one song = one marker).
I need to setup Cubase and Lemur to have each song/marker under particular bottom with the names etc.
Simply i'd like to have playlist in Lemur with play/stop and some other options which I know how to do.
The problem is that Cubase allows me to choice markers from 1 to 9.
Meybe someone have other Idea how to do it, for example : 50 different tracks and solo option for each bottom in Lemur ?
Please help !

Among other things. He's a cunning linguist!

Sorry, back on topic.Were you looking for some . . . specific scripting advice on some facet of the task or perhaps something a bit more . . . involved?

I think it's not possible, for various reasons. Put each song into a single track an solo the track you want to play, that will work. But it is probably better to do this in another application, for example Ableton Live or a DJ app. Or with a media player like VLC and control the playlist on the fly with VLC Amigo app.

I was thinking abaut it, but I still need use Cubase because I use automation.
I play live with my laptop and UFX interface in my acoustic duo. I have 5 tracks per each song. Firt track is a playback with loops, and the other four channels are guitars and vocals, but they are empty. There are only vst plugins and automation on those tracks.
So I'd like to make Group track for each song.. Can I programm each solo group button under particular bottom in Lemur ?
I think it could work too.
Thanks

hmm, if I understand correctly you want to have an entire live set preconfigured in Cubase. I think this overstretches the purpose of Cubase, which is not a live performance tool, but a professional DAW for tracking and mixing in the studio. I use Cubase live myself, but I always have time between songs/sessions to change the project.

Having only one single Cubase project with 50 songs is possible of course, but a bit difficult to handle. Maybe have a look at iC Pro, an app from Steinberg.

if you put your group tracks at the beginning of the mixer (in a folder maybe), it is easy to program solo buttons for each group as they will show up as the first 50 tracks in the 'generic remote(VST mixer>YOUR GROUP>solo)

You can also go the 'selected channel"route: one solo button (for selected channel, VST mixer/Selected/Solo), set your prefs to "solo selected track", and just scroll trough your tracks with up-down button in Lemur or your keyboard ( also available in the generic remote under "Command>navigate>up/down).

you can also assign a FADER in Lemur(!) to channel selection("Quickscroll") (tip:set the max value in the remote and in lemur to the number of your group tracks so the fader will only scroll trough your groups (must set them at the top of your arrangement for this to work)).

I quote myself from the cubase forum:
http://www.steinberg.net/forum/viewtopi ... ete#p56977

setting up this fader is a bit more complicated so here we go;

you need: VST mixer/device/selected, but to get there you first select: VSTmixer/Selected/selected, and then change the first "selected" into "device". If you assign a cc and a fader in lemur to that you can scroll trough the channels (128 max). to create buttons that go one channel up or down use: command/navigate/up or down,and assign a cc or note.


Cubase prefs you might want to look at:
editing>use up down buttons for selecting tracks only
editing>project &mixer>Enable solo on selected track
VST>mute pre send when mute
VST>group channels:Mute sources as well

If you create controllers in the generic remote BE SHURE to give them an unique name (under "control name"top left and do an export of the remote =save to file), or your inputs are lost after a cubase restart. Don't change the name or location of the file as cubase "looks"at it and reloads it at every program boot.

If you set up mixer 1 for "show only groups" and outputs, and mixer 2/3 to only show tracks and/or effects you also have a convenient way of viewing everything separately in the mixers (recal/hide mixer 1/2/3 by generic remote/lemur: command>Devices>mixer, mixer 2, mixer 3)
You can make mixer 1/2 realy small, as you will look at only one group/5 channels at a time.

set prefs to:
editing>project & mixer>Sync project & mixerSelection ON

You can set effect returns to be included in solo operations if in use by alt click on the effect return solo button.(turns orange, S changes to D)

Save a couple of workspaces after you configured all this (also recallable in the generic remote by; command>workspaces> ws1-9)


hope this helps, JB

btw this isnt the cubase forum isit?
