Remote controlling Cubase
The Generic Remote device
8. If necessary, make settings for another bank.
Note that you only need to make settings in the bottom table for this bank. The
table at the top is already set up according to the MIDI remote device.
• If necessary, you can add banks by clicking the Add button below the Bank pop-
up menu.
Clicking the Rename button allows you to assign a new name to the currently
selected bank, and you can remove an unneeded bank by selecting it and clicking
the Delete button.
9. When you are finished, close the Device Setup window.
Now, you can control the specified Cubase parameters from the MIDI remote
device. To select another bank, use the pop-up menu in the Generic Remote
window (or use a control on the MIDI remote device, if you have assigned one for
this).
Importing and exporting remote setups
The Export button in the top right corner of the Generic Remote Setup window allows
you to export the current setup, including the Control configuration (the table at the
top) and all banks. The setup is saved as a file (with the file extension “.xml”). Clicking
the Import button allows you to import saved remote setup files.
Ö The last imported or exported remote setup will automatically be loaded when the
program starts or the Generic Remote control is added in the Device Setup dialog.
Value/Action Clicking in this column opens a pop-up menu, allowing you to select
the parameter of the channel to be controlled (typically, if the “VST
Mixer” Device option is selected, you can choose between volume,
pan, send levels, EQ, etc.).
If the “Command” Device option is selected, this is where you specify
the “Action” of the category.
Flags Clicking in this column opens a pop-up menu, allowing you to
activate or deactivate three flags:
Push Button – When activated, the parameter is only changed if the
received MIDI message shows a value unequal to 0.
Toggle – When activated, the parameter value is switched between
minimum and maximum value each time a MIDI message is received.
The combination of Push Button and Toggle is useful for remote
controls which do not latch the state of a button. One example is
controlling mute status with a device on which pressing the Mute
button turns it on, and releasing the Mute button turns it off. If Push
Button and Toggle are activated, the Mute status will change
between on and off whenever the button is pressed on the console.
Not Automated – When activated, the parameter will not be
automated.
