Using MD for sending a macro of messages

Question

Is it possible to get MD to send a macro of several midi-messages by pressing one button?

Possibly also with a custom delay between each message?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks for your question. Notes:

1. Custom Delay: Not Yet
2. Multiple messages work like this. 

On the one hand, it's very flexible for many situations.

On the other, it could be seen as very awkward to set up.

I could probably do testing and stuff, but I might as well ask to get a 100% answer: Is the order of the messages consistent according to the subcontrol list?
I'm trying to make a show/hide-function in Cubase (with MD set up as a Generic Remote). However, there's something buggy with the generic remote and using several logical processors in a macro - Cubase simply ignores some them and it's completely random. If the same macro is triggered via a key command, everything works.
I do realize that this is on Steinberg's hands, but it's been several versions now without a fix, and I thought maybe triggering each logical script via it's own message would be a work-around. The order might not be that relevant, but there might be a timing issue since it takes a second or two to run the macro inside Cubase.

Anyway - a bit off topic I guess, but I'm just looking for new ways to use an already amazing app! :)

100% yes it should be, but the LOG is not. And yes, I'm aware of the irony ;)

Actually, this will be fixed in 2.0 (i.e., we just fixed it). It's easy to fix (some) basic flaws when you just try.

This is great news!

When will 2.0 be out..?

Just to be clear, I'm only referring to the out-of-order log. 2.0 is close to complete... should be in final beta by next week. If you want to help test, let me know, please.
