generic remote input from plugins not working in Nuendo 4.1?

drewarena

There is an option that seems to be lost in Nuendo 4. When I bring up the generic remote and look at the midi input I only see hardware inputs and I do not see any plugins. I am also running Nunedo 2 and this shows the current plugins just fine. Does any one know if Steinberg stripped this? This is a very needed feature for me. Strangely the output shows plugins.

Here is what I am trying to do. Generic remote is super flexible and it can drive anything in the mixer from channel volumes to insert plugins. In Nuendo 2 I can pull up the generic remote and select Reaktor for the input. This allows me to control any plugin from Reaktor. When I open up Nuendo 4 I do not see any plugins all I see it the hardware.

When I create a midi track there is the option to use a plugin as the input so why is it not showing up in generic remote?
A work around would be to use an external midi cable. This makes me a little nervous as things would be dependent on outside devises. I would also have to create midi tracks that map out and back in.

Thanks for any ideas or info.

Hello, and lots o' thanks for your feedback on my Generic Remote issue!

Re your troubles, one solution that springs to mind would be to use a MIDI loopback driver such as MIDI Yoke from http://www.midiox.com. Don't know if there are better ones, but MIDI Yoke seems to get mentioned a lot.

Hey that loop back works great. I have tried two others without success. I think the install was getting confused. I tried midi loopbe and midiloopback2.5.
For some reason the parameter (knob) I am controlling is snapping to only three angles instead of a full 360 (not a smooth sweep). I will try and map to some other plugins and see if it works else where.

Thanks again!

I mapped a few more plugins (nuendo 4 eq and waves plugs) and they all seems to have smooth increments. It must be just this single plugin in Nuendo 4. Works fine in Nuendo 2. Maybe the VST3 protocol.
