Hmm, two iPads for the price of a powerful slave DesktopI just want to say to those who are considering the big 12.9 iPad, don't hesitate -- it's really amazing having all of that real estate to use. I wasn't sure when I first got it, but now I can't live without it. At some point I'll get a second one...that will be insane.

No thanks
MG on a couple of IPad Pros would be amazing but too much money for me at this point in my life. 4 would be out of this world great!
The thing to remember with the iPad Pro is that you still have the same number of buttons whether it’s on an iPad or iPad Pro. If the option to have more buttons on the iPadpro version I may have been swayed to have bought and iPad Pro.
Instead I have now got a 27 inch Acer Touch screen in my Music Lab (and using MG on an iPad when mobile - and will use the the faders as they will allow for multiple CC assigning to same fader etc).
Yes, very true. For me it's great because I can have more buttons on the MG grid because of their bigger size on the 12.9, which is what lured me into buying it.
I'm looking into a 27-inch screen or larger, myself. I would love to get rid the two monitors I have side-by-side right now.
Isn’t the max number of buttons on the iPad Pro a grid of 11 x 10?
That’s the max number of buttons the iPad. Which, unless I’m wrong, just means MG on an iPad Pro just has bigger buttons not more buttons. This, for me, makes buying an iPad Pro not worth the financial investment worth it (as much as I would love one) just for MG.
I was working with MG on an iPad Pro in December as I was working with a couple of film composers that wanted to have a touch controller. I didn’t see an option to have a bigger grid than 11 x 10 but I did like he buttons being larger obviously.
Yes, totally -- what I meant is that because the buttons size is bigger on the 12.9, I can have a smaller grid size on MG and still have buttons large enough for my preference. I did get an amazing deal on my iPad: $580 for a refurbished one, otherwise I would have gone for the smaller one.
Ah I get it. Yeah, man, the IPad Pro is definitely an amazing option for MG especially if you get it for a great price like you have!
Once I create a Macro in Cubase using the Logical Editor, how do I select it in Metagrid? I get it with the Project Logical Editor because there is a specific folder of Scenes to copy to the Preferences folder but I don't know where to save the Cubase Macros for Metagrid to find them. Any help would be great!
(Still havent found a way to add the ruler back in as visible though for some reason there isnt an option for it in Project Logical Editor)
Currently having roadworks outside so there is no electricity (using phone at minute) but if you want the 2nd Ruler you could put all those track above Divide Track list into a folder and using the naming of the folder. I don’t bother with the ruler though because I have a button for toggling timebase.
The quote you taken from me is from quite a while ago and the macros are just the 3rd XML page. It’s really simple to save them and make sure to export and reimport the XML (its a Cubase quirk) otherwise when you restart Cubase the XML won’t remember any changes.
The new version of Metagrid/Metaserver isn't working that smooth in my case. 1/3 of my buttons don't work anymore and trigger different key commands then they should do. I guess I have to figure out how to downgrade my app.
Just make sure that you always turn on all your Midi devices. Once I forgot to turn on my XTouch Compact and the ports were out in Metaserver. I think the ports are assigned numerically, so if you don't start a midi device, that messes up the assignments. This is in Windows 7 like you.If anyone knows why the port set-ups would sometimes randomly change I would like to know how to prevent this.

@Metasystem.io Has the updated SDK been released by Apple yet for the new version of LPX? or even for version 10.3? since as I understand it, Metagrid is still on 10.2.4 key commands...Hi Guys, if you have some problems with v1.4.4 (keyboard shortcuts don't work as they expected) please go to www.metasystem.io and redownload Metaserver (please remember to refresh your browser before redownloading). We have rewritten the keyboard shortcuts support to enable automatic remapping based on the keyboard language chosen by the user - however, on some systems it didn't work as fine as on our testing setups. Anyway, everything should be back to normal. Metaserver version hasn't changed yet you will still see it as v1.4.4 - we will adjust it during the next maintanance release. Thanks for your patience!
Also found a way to de-select other tracks, which seems to happen a lot when jumping around the Metagrid Buttons.
Did this by selecting the Ruler which then deselects everything else by default.
