Hi, I’m aware of the other threads were people were trying to make the Steinberg CMC controllers behave just like in Cubase.

But now I want to try out something with a CMC-PD (the one with the 16 drumpads) and someone might be able to answer my question. (I don’t own one yet but I might buy it if this works)

When you connect a CMC controller does it pop up as a midi device? (I.e. midi keyboard)?
I don’t need the banks or lights or other functions, the only thing I want to do is trigger 16 Reaper shortcuts with the drumpads. When it would behave like a normal midi device each pad would be a ‘regular’ midi note right?

Would it be possible?

Thanks a lot!
