Remote Control
Cubase 4 supports numerous external hardware controllers that let you control the VST Mixer remotely. Many reputable vendors’ controllers are supported directly, and you can opt to use these if you wish. Alternatively, you can set up any other MIDI device equipped with the appropriate knobs as a generic controller and use it to operate the Mixer and adjust the parameters of VST instruments and effect plug-ins.

CC121 provides totally integrated tactile control of all parameters within Cubase, with a unique design architecture that keeps you 100% focused on your Cubase project.

Track Quick Controls
This set of eight user-definable real-time controllers gives ultra-fast access to any parameter available on the current track. Significantly speeding up workflow, Quick Controls are available for Audio, MIDI and Instrument Tracks, and can control any mixer parameter for audio and instrument tracks, insert plug-in parameters, VSTi parameters and MIDI controllers for MIDI and instrument tracks. Track Quick Control assignments are setup for each track and saved with both the project and in the Track Presets so they’re always available in any project once setup and saved. The Track Quick Controls develop their full potential when used in combination with a remote controller. Setup is easy thanks to a handy MIDI learn function. Once assigned, remote control knobs or fader functions will follow the track selection.
