Hi,

new user of Mux Modular here in Cubase and really excited!
But I cant use the space bar to start/stop playback of my host (cubase) if the window of a synth in mux is focused. (so not the mux window, but inside the modular view - or a specific synth loaded into mux)
Is there any way to get this? (Maybe through a shortcut? but I didnt find anything host playback related)

Thanks

MUX forwards unused events to the host, but i think it's the host that should use them, even if they're coming from plugin windows.

well I'm not sure about that, because I tested this also in Ableton Live 9.7 and there the spacebar also does not work when a synth window is open (or the modular edit window).

can you check this please? mux is really cool! but this spacebar issue is a little workflow killer sometimes :(

I just did this:
1) Run Reaper (starts a new, empty project)
2) Add new instrument track (prompts for instrument)
3) Pick Mux (pops up new instrument window with Basic Synth loaded, asks if you want four stereo outs -- say no)
4) Hit space whilst focus is on Mux window - Reaper starts to play
5) Hit space again to stop Reaper
6) Click Mux patch box and select B3 organ
7) Hit space whilst focus is still on Mux window - Reaper starts to play
8. Hit space again to stop Reaper

I can't reproduce the problem in Reaper.

Just open Mux on a track, click on the "Show Modular Area" button in Mux, and then try again to start/stop.

OK, yes, that makes a difference in Reaper, too.

- Insert MuX VSTi but leave the Modular area closed (front panel focussed) and space makes Reaper play.
- Insert MuX VSTi and open the Modular area (that having focus) and space does not make Reaper play.
- Click back to the front panel window and space makes Reaper play.

So it's focus being on the modular area that's causing the issue.

Or having a 3rd party VSTi window open in focus. Thats also causing start/stop issues.

I've taken note about taking another look at this, but currently working on other things, so i can't promise anything on short term, sorry.
