How do I configure my Delta Control Panel to work with Gigasampler?
This walkthrough should help those out who are using a Delta audio card with both Cubase and Gigasampler installed. If Cubase is locking up of constantly giving you errors even without Gigasampler running, this walkthrough is for you.
1. First of all Gigasampler has to be installed and working for this fix to work. If you’re having issues with Gigasampler, you should contact Nemesys to troubleshoot the issue.
2. Download and install the Hubi MIDI Loopback software (I found it here: http://www.sonicspot.com/hubismidiloopbackdevice/hubismidiloopbackdevice.html). The instructions for installation are in a file called midlpbk.txt included in the zip file. Here’s a simple breakdown of the installation:
a. Unzip the file to a temporary folder (C:\temp)
b. Open My Computer
c. Open Control Panel
d. Open Add New Hardware
e. Click Next at the opening window, and Next again to start a search.
f. Select ‘No, I want to select the hardware from a list’ and select Next
g. Select Sound, Video, and Game Controllers and click Next
h. Click Have Disk
i. Point this to the directory which you unzipped the drivers to (C:\temp)
j. It should find Hubi’s MIDI Loopback, so Click OK. If not, make sure you unzipped the file and are pointing to the correct folder.
k. Click Finish, and the Hubi’s Loopback window will come up. Click OK and restart the computer.
l. Go to the temporary folder you unzipped the Loopback software to (C:\Temp) and move the hwmdcabl.exe, hwmdcb.dll, and mlbkctl.exe into a different NON-temp folder on your hard drive (C:\Hubi). These are the control panels to configure Hubi, so you may need these later.
3. Open the folder on your hard drive where you installed Cubase (C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Cubase by default) and run the setupmme.exe. Hubi creates the MIDI ins and outs labeled LB1-LB4. Set all Hubi inputs as inactive, and make sure all the Hubi Outputs are active. Under outputs, make the Gigasampler/Endless Wave inactive. Click OK to close the window.
4. Without any other programs running, open Gigasampler. Click the Config button and go to the General Tab. The MIDI input will most likely be the MIDI port for your sound card, change this to LB1. Say OK and quit Gigasampler.
5. Now you should be able to run Cubase free of lockups or constant errors.

No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
