A note about remote controlling MIDI tracks
While most remote control devices will be able to control both MIDI and audio
channels in Cubase, the parameter setup may be different. For example, audio-
specific controls (such as EQ) will be disregarded when controlling MIDI channels.
Accessing device panel parameters via remote control devices (Cubase only)
Cubase allows you to control external MIDI devices through user device panels.
When you have assigned project parameters to a device panel to be displayed in the
MixConsole (i.e. when creating the panel, you must select the Channel Strip Size
option in the Add Panel dialog), you can access these parameters through some of
the remote control devices supported by Cubase.
This feature is supported for the following devices:
-Steinberg Houston
- Mackie Control
- Mackie HUI
- Yamaha DM 2000
-CM Motormix
-SAC2K
These remote control devices provide an extra display page in the Inserts section for
the selected channel.
This page is called User and is displayed as the 9th insert page for audio channels
and as the 5th insert page for MIDI channels. It allows you to control the parameters
assigned to your user device panel from your remote control device.
The Generic Remote device
If you have a generic MIDI controller, you can use this for remote control of Cubase by
setting up the Generic Remote device:
1. Open the Device Setup dialog on the Devices menu.
If the Generic Remote device is not on the Devices list, you need to add it.
2. Click the “+” sign in the top left corner and select the “Generic Remote” device
from the pop-up menu.
• When the Generic Remote device is added in the Device Setup dialog, you can
open the corresponding window by selecting “Generic Remote” from the Devices
menu.
