Subject: Bought a Novation Supernova 2
Original Message Date: 27-Sep-01 @ 06:02 AM Edit: 27-Sep-01 | 06:03 AM - Bought a Novation Supernova 2
I was wondering if someone could please help me because I have a problem. I bought a Novation Supernova 2 a couple of months ago. First I wanted to get to know the synth, so I played a lot on it and I made some of my own timbres. It's time to begin sequencing now, with Cubase 5 on a pc running Windows 2000. I have installed the MIDI cables right because when I am in Cubase and I play a note on my synth the red MIDI In signal responds. The global MIDI channel on my synth is set to 1, so I reckon if I paste some notes on MIDI channel 1 in Cubase I ought to hear those notes... NOT! The green MIDI Out signal responds, but that doesn't mean anything because when I pull the MIDI cables out of my synth the MIDI Out signal keeps on responding, the MIDI In signal on the other hand does stop, but that's quite logical. I don't know what's wrong here... Maybe I have to select a performance (2 or more timbres together) instead of a single program (only 1 timbre), but I've tried this and still no sound coming out of my synth. Maybe it's some of the preferences in the global section? I've tried a lot but no results... Please help me because I am getting a bit depressed after all these days trying to get my synth working with Cubase...
These are the settings I used on the synth:
Selected a program (one timbre only) -
Arpeggiator is off -
Global MIDI channel set to 1 -
Sysex transmission set to total data request -
Sysex reception set to normal (Rx as sent) -
MIDI clock external -
Local control set to on (also tried it when set to off, but makes no difference) -
Memory protect set to off -
Incoming control change set to enabled -
Incoming program change set to enabled -
Program change Tx set to on -
Finder demos set to off -
Sysex Tx delay set to 70ms -
Temp disp time set to 110
Running Cubase 5.0r3 with Windows 2000. The MIDI cables are in my gameport. There's also something strange going on which I'dd like to note. In Cubase I go to Options > MIDI setup > System and set MIDI Input, MIDI Output and those 2 "mapped to" parameters to VIA MIDI External Port. If I go back again the MIDI Output and it's "mapped to" parameter are set back on "Microsoft GS Wavetable". Also I have only a onboard soundcard and I am going to buy a new soundcard when it's pay day, but I don't think that has got to do with my problem, right? Anyway many thanks for helping me!

yes, i can draw notes in Cubase... it's very simple. select a channel, right click and select the pencil, draw a box on the channel you want. right click and select the cursor again, double click on the box you've just drawn, and there you can draw the notes... If I leave the gray field on the right completely blank and just select a channel, then hit record and play my synth, after that hit stop, nothing happens. Cubase does not paste a box, nothing... very strange because while playing live I do see that red MIDI In LED in Cubase flash.

Do you see the "Via-Midi External Port" in the Out-Box of the appropriate track in the arrange window ? You must choose it right there or in the so called inspector window, not in the midi mapper. You should NOT map any input/output to a different input/output.
It is best to choose "Refresh Map" (I have a german version, therefore I don't know if it's exactly that expression)in Options/Midi/System. In the same menue you should check if the VIA Midi In is active.
In addition you should make sure that no box in Options/Midi/Filter is checked.
If you cannot choose the VIA Midi Out as Track Output in the arrange window, there might be problems with the card driver.
There is a program named SetupMME in the Cubase folder. If you run this program you can see, which Midi Ins and Outs are available.
Please check if the midi volume isn't set to zero in the inspector window or midi track mixer. Make sure that no remote control (Options/Remote Settings) is active.
You might exchange the midi cables...
Well, enough for tonight ;-)
Hope this helps

Stefan
