Hmmm, no idea what could be causing this one.  You're recording while in 
loop mode in SX right?  What do you have your knobs on the Virus set to 
send, CC's or sysex?

        Subject:        [xl7] Cubase SX / XL-7 midi woes


I am having some serious problems using the XL-7 as my pattern 
sequencer hooked up to Cubase and was hoping someone might have an 
idea of what is going on (sorry for the long post).

First off I will recap my setup as outlined in a previous post:

In Cubase I have a template with 12 midi tracks which map to tracks 5-
16 from the XL-7. I am using the input transformer on the tracks in
Cubase so that they filter out channels not assigned for this track. 
(I'm using a Steinberg Midex8 midi interface.)

For example:
In cubase:
Midi Track 1 -> Halion channel 1 <- From XL-7 channel 5
Midi Track 2 -> Halion channel 2 <- From XL-7 channel 6
Midi Track 3 -> Halion channel 3 <- From XL-7 channel 7
Midi Track 4 -> Halion channel 4 <- From XL-7 channel 8
Midi Track 5 -> Virusb channel 1 <- From XL-7 channel 9
Midi Track 6 -> Virusb channel 2 <- From XL-7 channel 10
Midi Track 7 -> Virusb channel 3 <- From XL-7 channel 11
Midi Track 8 -> Virusb channel 4 <- From XL-7 channel 12
Midi Track 9 -> MS2000r channel 1 <- From XL-7 channel 13
Midi Track 10 -> EX5 channel 1    <- From XL-7 channel 14
Midi Track 11 -> Juno 106 channel 1 <- From XL-7 channel 15
Midi Track 12 -> Absynth2 channel 1 <- From XL-7 channel 16

Each track in the XL-7 template is storing a CC#11 controller as the 
first event so that when I save the template the channel routings are 
stored.
In the Cubase midi preferences dialog, I filter out CC##11.  I also 
filter program changes and SYSEX for both thru and record. 

Every time I use this setup, 2 problems occur at intermittent times, 
and with no obvious pattern of events:

[1] ... The Access Virus b will not make any sound.  Even doing a 
patch audition by pressing EDIT & SYNC or choosing any other patch, 
will not result in sound.  The virus has to be completely shut down 
and restarted.

[2] ... The XL-7 will completely lock-up and has to be 
restarted.  "Local" is on in the XL-7 because I use the pads to 
transmit midi to my other devices as well as internal patches.  No 
tracks in Cubase are being routed back to the XL-7 so there shouldn't 
be a midi loopback problem.  The only thing that I can see that the 
XL-7 receives from Cubase is midi clock and song pointer info.

Anything else I should look at?
Thanks for listening,
grimley
