Remote Mode issue with Cubase VST (solved)

Hi,
maybe that's answered somewhere, but I didn't find any solution for me so far...
I want to use my Virus TI2 as a (CC) controller in Cubase to control several parameters in Cubase (Cubase 7.0.3 on Windows 7, 64bit)
This works nicely via QuickControls as long as the TI VST plugin is not involved. It seems to grab all control commands and route them to the plugin only (except the ModWheel).
In the manuals I found the hint to use the TI Remote Mode by clicking shift+CONFIG ("In order to use the TI’s Remote functionality, you must first switch it into Remote Mode. To do this, press SHIFT+CONFIG."), alas it doesn't work for me.

Am I doing something basically wrong or could someone help me?

Many thanks in advance,
Thomas

Zitat von flabberbob

a) Does it change to remote mode when you press down the key combo?
b) If it does, do you load a remote template (config/remote on VC)?
c) Is the synth configured to send MIDI out (config menu on the LCD)?

a) what do you mean by 'key combo'? shift+CONFIG doesn't change anything at all
b) I tried different templates and made my own - it does not send out any controller change
c) MIDI works nicely, I can use quickcontrols flawlessly if the TI VST is not loaded. If the plugin is loaded (no matter on which Cubase track or the instrument rack), I still can play on the keyboard and the MIDI keyboard data flows correctly, but no controller data is sent.
The Cubase MIDI monitor shows no activity on the MIDI in if a controller is moved after the plugin is loaded.

That's it - the CONFIG button clicks but obviously doesn't accept. Pressing the button a bit harder and jiggling a little does the trick now.
I guess that's something the local music store can fix, but now I know what the problem is.
Many thanks flabberbob!

Cheers,
Thomas
