Automating the Solaris using cubase?
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 5:38 am
Hi everyone.
I'm trying to figure out how to automate Solaris using my DAW, which is cubase 5.1
I've never worked with NRPN's and i haven't got a clue how to do that step by step. I looked up the cubase manual - and NRPN's aren't even metioned on the index. On some other forum, someone wasn't even sure if cubase is capable of sending NRPN messages.
Another guy wrote about, perhaps, the need of some kind of template to mediate between cubase and external hardware synths.
On a side note i'll say that i'm used to automating external synths using CC messages. So simple. Controls have common numbers. Cutoff has a number. You assign automation to that destination, and start drawing.
I'm not sure why doing this with Solaris has to be such a challenge. After having it for two weeks i think it's a brilliant synth, sounds wonderful, the best out there - as a "standalone" synth. But when it comes to DAW integration, it's a bit confusing. I'm sure i'll get the hang of it eventually. Ironcally,programming complex sounds on it feels easier
So if anyone has any experience automating Solaris using cubase and NRPN's - i'd really appreciate some help.
