Remote controlling Cubase
9. When you are finished, close the Device Setup window.
Now, you can control the specified Cubase parameters from the MIDI re-
mote device. To select another bank, use the pop-up menu in the Re-
mote Status window (or use a control on the MIDI remote device, if you
have assigned one for this).
Importing and exporting remote setups
The Export button in the top right corner of the Generic
Remote Setup window allows you to export the current
setup, including the Control configuration (the table at the
top) and all banks. The setup is saved as a file (with the
Windows file extension “.xml”). Clicking the Import button
allows you to import saved remote setup files.
• The last imported or exported remote setup will auto-
matically be loaded when the program starts or the Ge-
neric Remote control is added in the Device Setup dialog.
Track Quick Controls
If you have an external remote control device, you can set
it up to control up to eight parameters of each audio track,
MIDI track or instrument track, using the Track Quick Con-
trols feature in Cubase. How to set up your device and
how to assign parameters to it is described in the Track
Controls chapter in the Operation Manual.
The supported remote control
devices
In the following sections, the remote control devices sup-
ported by Cubase are listed along with a brief description
of the corresponding feature set.
Apple Remote (Macintosh only)
Many Apple computers come with an Apple Remote Con-
trol, a small hand-held device akin to TV remote controls. It
allows you to remotely control certain features in Cubase.
1. Open the Device Setup dialog and select Apple Re-
mote Control from the Add Device pop-up.
2. In the list on the right, the Apple Remote’s buttons are
listed. For each button you can open a pop-up menu from
which you can select a Cubase parameter.
The parameter you select will be assigned to the corresponding button
on the Apple Remote.
By default, the Apple Remote always controls the applica-
tion that currently has the focus on your Macintosh com-
puter (provided that this application supports the Apple
Remote).
• When the option “Disable when application is not in
front” is not selected, the Apple Remote will control Cu-
base even if it does not have the focus.
CM Automation Motor Mix
The CM Motor Mix can control any number of channels in
groups of 8.
• Press the “<” and “>” buttons (at the top of the View
section) to select channels 1–8, 9–16 etc. Hold down
Shift and press “<” or “>” to shift the fader assignment in
steps of one channel.
• Press F1 to disable/enable the fader motors.
• Use the Select buttons (the row of buttons next to the
display) to select a single track for detailed settings.
• The Mute and Solo buttons are used to mute or solo a
track.
• The assignment of the buttons in the first row below the
dials depends on the selected parameter group.
• In the View section, select Rec/Rdy to use the second
row of buttons below the dials for arming a track for re-
cording.
