X32 as controller ?

[FrankD77]

I've been using the x32 as my main console in my home studio.

Per song i store the settings in the software but i would love to be able to automate the x32

In my daw I'm sending everything to busses which correspond to the inputs on the x32

For example all drums are drum buss 1-2
Main keys are main keys buss 3-4
Etc.

Of i would be able to automate and store the actions i use on the x32 it would be perfect. But can't find anything that does something similar. Which actually surprised me.

So maybe someone here solved it.

You mean something like a plugin in your DAW that sends commands back to the X32 based on automation in the DAW?

That sounds feasible; the X32 API should certainly allow it. But it's really gonna depend on if your DAW supports that kind of modding (and if you or someone else writes it)

More like using the faders of the main channels instead of only 8

I used to do this, back in Cubase 9 or 10 days - I thought back then it used a mackie protocol, from within cubase. I spent a fruitless couple of hours today in my video studio as sitting there is a Midas M32, and cubase 14 is on the computer. Frustrated because the system I used before and half-remembered is now a legacy routine as there is a new one. 32 tracks of audio in and out via USB work perfectly, but fader operation failed miserably. Cubase asked me to wiggle a fader or a knob, and ..... nothing. I figured Steinberg would have a downloadable file, but no. Behringer and Midas would of course have templates ...... no. I found a guy on youtube who has been doing templates for years, and he has a cubase template and xml file. The xml one failed, but I will try the cubase .cpr template he gave me on monday.

X32 mixers are really common, so it's strange there is no X32 preset within cubase. If I have success, I will report back,

Thanks. I also keep wondering why no one has a working solution
