Ive posted one in the Nuendo forum (its the same for Cubase) If you like you can wait for respond there.
Here s the link: http://forum.nuendo.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/020957.html

(They respond very quick over there )


I just realized something after reading your post on the Nuendo forum. Have you tried selecting more than one track at a time inside Cubase or Nuendo? For example you select trk1 and cntrl-click on track 2. While bother are selected and one has input of MIDI channel 1 and the other MIDI channel 2, each have different outputs assigned for the instruments. That should do it??

btw, where in Belgim do you live?

and while we are all over different subjects in this topic :)

Can anyone tell me the speed of RAM I need to order from Crucial? Can I simply order two PC133 256MB sticks from Crucial and be done with it?

thx.

Did it not work for you when you tried it? Or it's not what you are wanting to acheive.

As for Belgium, I have a friend who lives over there that I met back in the BBS days. I don't remember the city. But he sent me a box of different chocoloates from there. Quite tasty :)

Man that is weird. I have the same setup (of course my MPC4k is in transit) so minus that, I have one midi input selected on multiple tracks and have different VSTi's assigned to them. I click the track I want to play, and it works.

Do you think it's something odd with the MPC that prevents it from transmitting correctly? I'm puzzled by this now and can't wait until I get mine next week. :lol:

I had the same problem with Pro Tools LE.. Though the MPC sends different channels thru 1 MIDI cable to other stuff :? But not to a sequencer on the comp.. (Its not the soundcard or the MIDI interface either cause Ive tried different ones)

Well I use Cubase SX. So I am not to familiar with Nuendo. Once my MPC arrives, I will test this scenario within SX and let you know my results.
