    Title

    Cubase & Nuendo Perform Action

    What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

    Can not get keys commands to launch

    Are you seeing an error?

    What happens when you run this script?

    I add the the action "Cubase & Nuendo: Perform Action" Then I click inside the action window and nothing happens, it should launch Key commmands

    How were you running this script?

    I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

    How important is this issue to you?

    1. Hi Tommy,

      Thanks for reporting this. It looks like you don't have anything selected in the "Perform Action" action. It needs you to select the actual action to take inside Nuendo.

      1. For that to work it requires SKI to be set up. Have you done that?

            Yes I have installed the SKI, I can get action to work, but clicking inside the "Perform Actions" does nothing, can not select any action, I can write Keyboard triggers once Nuendo is open, but I want to do deeper integration than just keyboard commands, Nuendo itself has macros that one can make, but I'd like SF to do that

            1. Hm. Have you installed SKI without Authentication? We are aware that the SKI integration is pretty bad due to Steinberg not keeping it updated. I think @JesperA has shared some good troubleshooting steps with SKI in the past.

                  Yes, I installed it without Authentication...thanks
                  I have looked at jaspers video's and they are good, but perhaps the SKI need updating
                  I'll just keep fooling around with it when I have the patience and the time

                  1. What Christian said. It does not always work, but I've found a way that makes it work pretty consistently as described in this post:
                    What is SKI integration

                    Just copy-pasting:

                    As I have too many commands relying on this integration, I can't live without it.
                    The workaround and what has been consistent for me is that if my computer have been shut off, if I open a project in Nuendo and run one SKI command, after that SKI doesn't react anymore. But after restarting Nuendo it works flawlessly.
                    Now after moving to a Macbook Pro I don't have the issue as often, since the computer is never off, and I rarely restarts it.

                    I wanna add that if it then all of a sudden does not work, after having worked (in case of a Nuendo or SF issue), I have to restart my computer. It's not perfect but still a very powerful API.
                    Maybe the MIDI Remote API will substitute a lot of these actions.

                        So I had time to play with it, and I discovered you have to have Nuendo OPEN, when I had Neundo open, I went to create a macro in SF, then it worked as expected, so when I "add action" Cubase & Nuendo: Perform Action, it then showed the list of Commands in Nuendo when I clicked in the actions field, so the one thing I might recommend is that in your tutorials make clear that Nuendo/Cubase must be open, or maybe you did and I did not catch that detail
                        So with that said I created a macro in SF_"Duplicate Tracks Without Data" and it worked

                        1. Hi Tommy,

                          You're totally right, that's an oversight on our part to not make that clearer. I'm happy to hear you got it working :)
