I’m using an SQ-5 as a control surface for Reaper DAW. I have 16 faders on the SQ properly displaying and controlling 16 channels in Reaper. That all works fine!
I have mapped the ‘Bank Up’ and ‘Bank Down’ commands to soft keys on the surface. However, the Bank Up and Bank Down keys shift the channels by 8 instead of by 16. (i.e. I have to press the bank button twice in succession to see the next set of 16 channels)
Anyone seen this issue before? Is this an SQ problem or a Reaper problem?
Doesn’t seem to matter whether I choose HUI or Mackie Control in the A&H Midi Control Driver.
Doesn’t seem to matter whether I choose HUI, Mackie Control or Mackie Control Extended in the Reaper Preferences.
The A&H MIDI Control app, when used for DAW control, mimics 4 virtual surfaces, each with 8 faders.
The bank up/down messages from SoftKeys send a ‘standard’ message which is interpreted by the DAW.
If you imagine up to 4 separate surfaces, this might make more sense, as you are switching bank on all of them at once.
So it’s not really a problem - but I understand you want it to work in a different way.
This would have to be done from the DAW side, as making changes to the SQ or A&H MIDI Control app would result in other setups not being possible (e.g. using only 8 faders and a single virtual surface).
