Hi SSC,

I have been recording Kyma being triggered by a Cubase midi track back into Cubase and have encountered some issues with timing response.
At first what I thought I was hearing was the latency between midi note transmission and response in Kyma but even when I adjusted the track delay on the midi track (by approx -16ms) I was still seeing notes being placed within plus or minus a few ms of the beat.

The audio interface outputting the midi is an RME fireface 400 so I doubt its midi timing is an issue. The Kyma audio interface is a tc.electronic Konnect 24D.

To see if I could get a really rhythmically accurate response I tried exporting the midi track as a midi file which plays fine except that it only plays the notes and seems to ignore all the continuous controller data in the midi file. There is a lot of CC data controlling the VCS of the sound in question that works fine when it's coming in via midi.

Is ignoring the CC data in a midi file normal?

Happy Easter all.

The MIDI continuous controller data is played back along with the MIDI note data so it should be controlling the hot parameters in your Sound.

Did you use controllers that directly map to MIDI continuous controllers (like !cc01), or did you create new controllers using the global map, or did you map the MIDI controllers in the VCS?

The MIDIVoice (when playing back from a MIDI file) can control the first two types of controllers, but does not know about mappings made in the VCS. If you used the VCS to do the mapping, you can replace the MIDIVoice with a MIDIMapper Sound and create a local map that contains the mappings you had made in the VCS.

Thanks SSC,
I did use the learn function in the vcs. I'll try your suggestion.
Regards,
Sean
