Cubase 5 midi keyboard mapping issue

Hi all,

So I bought & installed Cubase 5 and have to say it has some great FX.

Anyhow loaded up my track I've been working on and weird issue here. When I play a note on my Access Virus TI keyboard, Cubase plays the next note up e.g. if I play a C, Cubase will play a C# and does this for any note. I don't know if it is something I've pressed by mistake. Any takers to help me out. It's most annoying. Couldn't work out why everything I played sounded out of key!!

sounds werd. are u trying to use virus as a midicontroller? mute the midichannel input and see if the same happends. i dont know how btw im not using cubase nor hardware.

Yes using as midi controller through USB and Access Control. Same thing is happening in Reason with it rewired into Cubase. Haven't tried Reason on its own yet. Didn't want to close my project.

Very interesting Reno. I just got Cubase 5 yesterday actually and have a Virus TI. I'm just getting everything installed so I will let you know if I experience the same thing.

What OS are you running Cubase 5 on? XP or Vista? Here I had a machine built and ready to go with WinXP x64 and 8GB of RAM only to find out when I get Cubase 5 that its Vista x64 only. Then after reading further you can't use Rewire with the x64 version so x64 version is out the window for me. Now I'm trying to decide if I should use XP or Vista.

I'm running Vista. I'm sure it must be a setting somewhere but I've looked everywhere. IT's most enoying. Everything else works sweetly though and I find resources are managed much better on Cubase 5. No longer struggling with lots of vst's and Reason loaded.

Installed Cubase 5 (running XP and 2.7.3 firmware on the TI) and I'm not having any of the issues you describe. Sorry man wish I could help more but I can't think of what could be doing that.

Sounds like you've got a semi-tone worth of transpose dialled in.

Not on cubase or a virus owner so can't help more than that.

Dude use XP, Vista is known among everyone to be full of issues. I wouldn't even consider it.

Edit: it appears I'm late in this post eh?

Another one of many Virus TI bugs. Try changing the project sample rate to 48kHz, and then back to 44.1kHz.
That usually clears it. Or try a reset by powering it on using the arp edit button.

Exactly. The problem must be the Virus TI as both Cubase and Reason are having the same issue.
This would indicate the midi controller (in this case the Virus) is most likely sending out transposed midi notes.

dude you hit the nail on the head. Had a semi-tone of transpose dialled into my virus. Not sure how I did it but it was saved so everytime I switched on same problem. Managed to sort it. Cheers.

As for all guys having a go at Vista, I honestly don't have any issues with it and there are some changes to the audio api's that are meant to make it better for professional sound production.
