I’m trying controlling Cubase Artist 7 with a Xbox gamepad controller. When I start Cubase with controller connected it appears in Devices Setup but I just can change pan track pressing ‘A’ buttom and moving left joy.
I’ve also been looking into this. The only solution I have found is a slightly Heath Robinson solution using some software called “GlovePIE” which allows you to map keyboard controls (and probably Midi but I haven’t worked out how to get Cubase to recognize the controller as a midi device) to the XBox controller.
Only word of warning is that GlovePie’s installer has some irritating browser add-ons you have to remove.
I can now play, pause, record, delete, undo, zoom in and out, rewind and fast forward using my controller.
My script (which you can copy and paste into a GlovePie window is as follows:
