Atom SQ midi in pad light

[Brop]

Hooked up my Atom SQ to an ipad running Cubasis. Problem is the key pads don't light up on midi in. Cubasis is set to receive and send to all midi ports. Works fine with a Novation Launchpad, but not with the Atom.

Just posting to see if anyone else has this or found a way to get it to work.

Tried it with a few different DAWs and apps and it seems the Atom only lights up the keys with midi input in Studio One. Shame. Maybe the new Fender Motion 32 will add this, or maybe not.

Not surprising. The Atom SQ while not proprietary, is really geared in so many ways around Studio One (and I'd expect Studio Pro). The pad layout, banks, and scaling lends itself to that. I'd expect Novation from its layout to be more generic anyway.

Maybe but they put quite a bit of effort into non Studio One features like native Ableton Live mode the HUI and MCU modes. But it is what it is.

I guess I'll ask. Why are you even using Cubasis? Did you have some situation where that is necessary? Just curious is all.

Just suits my workflow. Travel a bit and ipad mini is just the best portable music making tool.
