VS100 as a control surface with cubase

Hi
 
needing help badly. i purchase Cubase 6 last weekend and having been trying frustratingly for the past week to set up my VS100's control surface to work within the program. ive contacked Cakewalk and Cubase but all these suggestion doesnt seem to work. Ive set it up a mackie control and some of the button dont work. I understand some of the buttons like the ACT, view etc buttons will not work. But even basic functions like trying to mute the second track doesnt work. For some unknown reason the controls ONLY work for track one. Can anyone help??  
 
 

Hi

the problem is the track buttons dont work on the control surface. When i press it to move to the next track up or down, nothing happens. Even when i actually click on a track and make it active the VS100 doesnt follow where i want to go. The only buttons that work are the transport buttons (play, stop, rec) fast rewind and fast forward doesnt work either.

I just did a little searching and not much is coming up, other than the fact that there are CUBASE/VS-100 bundles being sold. That would imply it should work better than it is in your situation.

When I glanced at some support issues - it appears as a Mackie Controller, almost everything on the right side of the VS-100 should work with other software. The only exceptions are "[VIEW], [MARKER] & the [|<] , [>|]" controls. They are not assigned by default and it is recommended you use the software (in your cause Cubase) to assign these where you want.

That would indicate to me that the TRACK buttons should be working. I suspect there is an error in the way Cubase is setup to work with the VS-100. I strongly suggest you use the Steinberg support system, and ask them to help you in setting up the integration with the Control Surface. Just tell them it's a VS-100, set to run in Mackie Control mode. They won't necessarily support the VS-100 - but they will support Mackie Control (or should).

Once again - good luck with this. Let us know if/when you get it running.
