I was told that Cubase SX would have full button function with FW-1884. THis is not what you want to hear but "Very Little Function" is why I recently switched to Digital Performer 4.1. Put simply its a midi driver issue and in my opinion it rests with Steinberg -- also my shared opinion is that you will not see any support from Steinberg on this issue.
As I've said before these companies just don't get it. As much as we DO love their programs, and I will admit I think Cubase is great, but not having service or real support is a BIG negative. Their manuals are not easy to read or use as trouble shooting guides.
Like you I have tried to Map and Remap the Aux and other buttons but to no avail with Cubase. I do have alot more functionality with DP4 but sadly not all the buttons can be programed.
Bottom line -- this is a waiting game for us -- Oh Yes so I fairly pass the criticism around Tascam owns some of those firey darts as well. I don't know how accurate this is but I heard on another forum that Tascam was going to leave the driver development to the software interface companies, bad idea in my opinion. Companies should not put out hardware that is partially functional, especially the over $1000 hardware.
Sorry guy, didn't mean to put a damper on your Christmas. But you asked.
