It’s possible that the “game-changer” --whatever that is-- is multi-platform. It should be, unless Steinberg developers are a bunch of Apple fanboys. The truth is, Apple is losing market share to Android and now to Windows 8.1 pretty fast, so developing something that is iOS-only would make absolutely no sense.
While not as comprehensive and custom-tailored to Cubase, TouchDAW is very good and I’ve never had any problems with it. Judging from what I read on this forum, it’s definitely a lot more stable and way less “temperamental” than IC Pro.
This is a close as you’ll get from a 3rd party developer perspective without having access to the official Control Surface SDK from Steinberg. But this is not public and it seems to be almost impossible to gain access for external developers.
So we will have to wait for Steinberg to provide a control surface that can do more than the generic remote apps.
Yes, releasing the SKI to the general public would be the best move Steinberg could make when it comes to controllers.
I would like that so much… this would make Cubase even a development platform and kill the competition, because none of the other serious DAWs (Pro Tools, S1, Sonar, Ableton Live) have something like that.
Well, Ableton Live has a public SDK, Sonar too. Reaper seems to have the best community support here as even proprietary controllers are working with it (Steinberg cc121, Avid Control 24 etc.).
A short update on this topic:
This is no vaporware, we are still working on this! Truth be told, the reason for the delays is that the Android platform has provided us constant headaches and tripping hazards and it is not as straight-forward as iOS.
However, we involved several forum users in our beta tests and we have now a release candidate we are working on to stabilise it to give you a great controller experience.
Any iC user who knows, if it’s possible to adjust the Conrtol Room Sends, via iC Pro ?
That’s the one and only feature, I really need !
Sadly it’s not possible to adjust the CR sends via General Remote.
Oh and it should work with C6.5, as it’s still the best Cubase for fast daily work.
If a channel has a active cue send, it shows up in Ic pro. All 4 cue mixes are there, the interface gives a choice- you can look at either the cue mixes, or the channel faders, one or the other.
I copied this from the manual:
On the MixConsole page, you can control the most important
MixConsole parameters in your Steinberg DAW or control individual
cue mixes.
In Cubase iC Pro, you can access the cue mixes that you set up using
the Control Room in your Steinberg DAW. That way, the artists can
adjust the levels of their independent headphone mixes directly from the
recording room, while the main mix remains unaffected. The cue mixes
in Cubase iC Pro directly correspond to the four cue channels in your
Steinberg DAW.
NOTE
The cue mix function is directly linked to the Control Room. Therefore it
is only available in the full version of Cubase.
