No aftertouch when using PolyBrute Connect

[jfandersson]

Hello!
I have not found anyone else writing about this, so I am guessing I am missing something obvious.
I am using Cubase Pro 12 (have also tested this with Cubase Pro 11).
If I put PolyBrute Connect on a track and record some MIDI, it works. Both notes and aftertouch-data get recorded.
But when I play it back, the aftertouch is not getting through to the Polybrute. If I instead use a normal MIDI-track routed through PolyBrute MIDI, the PolyBrute reacts to the aftertouch. So it kind of seems like the aftertouch is stuck in PolyBrute Connect and not sent to the synth.
I have tried other VSTs (Arturia Pigments, for example) and it works fine. So it can't be some global MIDI filtering going on for VSTs.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing? Is anyone else having this problem?

I have been having this issue too for a long time and thought that it was something to do with my midi controller at my desktop... but I just ran the same tests and got the same results. Have you found any solutions?

Did you contact the support for filing a report?!
They are very willing to take on bug reports - despite some other companies....
I bet there is an update in the pipeline just now. You might get detailed information.

I sent a ticket. Will see if they reply....

I was having this same problem in Ableton Live, and I found a workaround. I'm not familiar with Cubase but perhaps it will give you an idea. See my post on the new forum, here:

Basically I added an extra MIDI track, then routed the CC data from the Polybrute Connect track to the Polybrute via this extra MIDI track. This got the aftertouch to play back properly.
