Hello everyone,
Sorry for the length of my topic...

About the "Four Control Banks Mode" with the TASCAM US-428

I'm rather new to the US-428 and would like to use it for the controls of vsti (e.g. Model-e and PPG for some sound tweaking) .

I'm running cubase 5.1 on an iMac DV with 512Ram. The 428 works perfectly and sounds great for me!!

As by the 428's mapping chart, in Ctrl-Bank 1, the fader 8 sends ctrl # 7 . Ok.
But HOW can I tell the system that this message must go TO the Model-e?
Normally in order to "speak" to the Midi-track of Model-e, I should stand on its midi-track in the Arrange Window. (as I would for playing the instr.)
The output of that track is then set to "Model-e" in order to send the data to the synth.
Tell me please if I'm wrong.
How could Cubase know I'm sending data via the 428-"Control Port" (as I'm using the "Four Control Banks Mode") and not the "normal Port1" or 2.

If I stand on another track where I set the Out to "Control Port, Chanel 1" (as described in the manual), how could cubase know I want to send TO Model-e???

In any case, on my transport bar, ther is NO Output activity when I slide any fader.

Can someone help me with this please.

Thank you very much in advance for any input.
Riket
