2. Why 5 mixer maps ?

It is impossible to create a mixer map which includes all of the available settings simultaneously.
So I had to seperate the available settings into 5 different mixer maps:

4 nearly identical mixer maps offer access to the 16 input channels:
Each of them varies all available settings of 4 channels (01-04, 05-08, 09-12 and 13-16).
(goto: Channel mixer maps)
The fifth mixer map offers access to the settings of the 16 busses (Solo L/R, Aux 1/2, Effect 1/2, Group 1-8 and Master L/R). Additionally this mixer map includes all available settings for Dig Out B, Ex. Bus I/O settings and Recall controls for stored Master, Effect 1 and Effect 2 settings.
(goto: Busmaster mixer map)

3. Important notes

I. These mixer maps require special MIDI settings of the Korg 168 RC !

Further information you'll find at my page Install mixer maps.

II. Some settings of the Korg 168 RC cannot be controlled via MIDI data:

You can't store any Master, Effect or EQ set-up
You can't remote the basic MIDI set-up or settings of the synchronization set-up
The 8 input gain controls of the analogue inputs are not remotable
You need to adjust these settings manually at your Korg 168 RC !

III. You cannot remote the 'Monitor section' !

I've tried to include these settings in my mixer maps as well, but unfortunately I didn't succeed:
All my tries to remote the 'Monitor section' finished in a complete system crash - after my Korg 168 RC didn't work any longer and I had to 'reanimate' it with the help of Korg !
Therefore I decided to exclude these settings in my mixer maps - it's really to dangerous !

4. System requirements

These 5 mixer maps require:

A Korg 168 RC Soundlink
A MIDI cable from MIDI-Out of your PC to MIDI-In of the Korg 168 RC
The program Steinberg Cubase VST 5.x or Cubase SX 3
A screen resolution of at least 1024*768 pixels

Important note:
These mixer maps don't work with Cubase VST versions earlier than 5.0 (like VST 3.7), also you can't use them with Cubase SX 1 or 2!

5. How to install

It is strongly recommended that you read my installation manual and strictly follow the instructions 'as they are'
- otherwise the mixer maps won't work !
