Tutorial
This section guides you through using UF8 with Cubase.
Before You Start...
The information in this Cubase Tutorial sets out the key features of
using UF8 with Cubase.
For complete, in-depth coverage of all the functions and features you
can control in Cubase using UF8, please refer to the Mackie MCU
Pro section of Steinberg's Remote Control Devices PDF document,
available via the Cubase/Nuendo Help menu.
V-Pot
At the top of each strip is the V-Pot (virtual pot). The function of the V-Pot varies, depending
on which V-Pot assignment mode is currently active (Pan, FX Send etc) but is typically used
for tasks such as controlling pan position, send levels, plug-in parameters or scrolling through
parameter options/lists.
The V-Pot has a push function, which by default operates the track Monitor function when the
V-Pot assignment mode is Pan.
100 mm Motorised Fader
Motorised, touch-sensitive faders provide physical control of your Cubase tracks and are great
for balancing mix levels and writing automation.
Solo, Cut & Sel (Select)
Each strip contains SOLO, CUT and SEL keys corresponding to the solo, mute and select
features for each track in Cubase.
Tip:
The Solo Defeat MCU function (pre-assigned to Quick Key 3) can be used to clear all solos.
Pressing and hold the MCU Shift function (the FINE / SHIFT key) and pressing Solo Defeat
(Quick Key 3) can be used to clear all mutes.
Selection Mode
The primary purpose of the NORM and REC keys in the SELECTION MODE section is to
determine the behaviour of the SEL keys.
NORM - The SEL keys select a track in Cubase.
REC - The SEL keys record-arm multiple tracks.
AUTO - Disabled. This key only applies for Pro Tools profiles.
