  • Selecting instrument tracks between Cubase and VEP

    I have Vienna instrument tracks in my Cubase project (set up as midi tracks, not instrument tracks), hosted in a single instance of VEP 7. My question is, when I click an instrument track on the Cubase side of things, is there a way for it to select the corresponding instrument track on the Vienna Ensemble side of things? Conversely, if I select a VE track, can I have it highlight the Cubase track? As it stands, I am annoyed when I select a solo violin track in Cubase, for example, but then have to scroll through my VEP side to the violin track. Doing this dozens of times starts to get old (even though I have been doing this for years and haven't bothered to look in to a solution until now!)

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

  • Dave,

    Try the following:

    Options -> Preferences

    Under the Server tab and the GUI section, check the "Activate window on MIDI activity focus".

    This won't make it select the corresponding track just by clicking on it, but will select it whenever you're playing/working on the MIDI for the track.  Maybe that'll help?

    Thanks, Sam!  That did the trick.  It's not the perfect solution because of what you said (unable to select with just a click) but it works well enough.

    Cheers!
