Control Room (Cubase only)
The Control Room Overview
You can access the Control Room Overview from the De-
vices menu. The Control Room Overview is designed to
display the current configuration of the Control Room. The
window shows all possible channels, with active channels
highlighted once they have been created in the VST Con-
nections window. Channels that are grayed out have not
been defined in the VST Connections window.
The Control Room Overview allows you to see the signal
flow through the Control Room Mixer. All the routing func-
tions of the Control Room Mixer are duplicated in the
Overview.
The Control Room Overview
Open the Control Room Mixer and the Control Room Over-
view windows side by side. As you operate the controls in
the Mixer you will see the various pale green squares light
up in the Overview, indicating changes in signal flow. You
can also click the squares in the Overview and watch the
controls in the Mixer reflect the changes in signal flow.
The Control Room Mixer
The Control Room Mixer is where you access all the fea-
tures of the Control Room. The Control Room Mixer can
be resized to accommodate more channels and to display
more controls. When you open the window for the first
time, it will show none of the extendable panels.

Configuring the Control Room Mixer
In order to display more controls in the Control Room
Mixer, the small arrows at the lower left and right corners
can be clicked to open or close the extended speaker
controls on the right (“Right Strip”) and the External Input
and Talkback controls on the left (“Left Strip”).
The arrow at the upper right corner of the Control Room
Mixer extends the Mixer vertically to display meters and in-
serts (“Extended view”). A second arrow appears above
the inserts and meter display. Extending the Mixer using
this arrow exposes the Input Gain and Input Phase switch,
channel configuration and name for each channel (“Rout-
ing view”).
