Saving Quick Controls

Cubase
15

Here’s the workaround for the Quick Control preset / insert slot number issue:

I discovered today that the quick control assignments stay with a plugin as it is moved to a different insert slot.

So:

  1. Load your plugin in the first insert slot
  2. Assign your quick controls
  3. Save this set of quick controls as a quick control preset (you click the little icon next to where it says “Quick Controls” in the inspector.)
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 with all the other plugins you want to control with Quick Controls on a regular basis…
  5. Now, while working in Cubase on a given track, always try to keep insert slot #1 free.
  6. Now anytime you want to load a plugin and assign quick controls to it, first load it into insert slot #1, then call up the appropriate Quick Controls preset, and THEN simply move the plugin to its appropriate insert slot.

Note: Whenever you make a change to your Quick Control assignments on a given track (for instance, to control a different plugin on the same track)… in order to go back and control the first plugin again, you must first move it back to insert slot #1 and call up the Quick Control preset from there, and then move it back to its desired insert slot.
