Track Quick Controls
Here, quick controls 1-8 have been set up to control the main volume of
five audio tracks.
The Quick Controls tab has become a “secondary” mixer,
dedicated to quick-controlling parameters on other tracks.
Setting up quick controls on an
external remote controller
Quick controls become really powerful when used in com-
bination with a remote controller.
Setting up the connection between the slots on the Quick
Controls Inspector tab and a remote control device is
easy. Proceed as follows:
1. In Cubase, open the Device Setup dialog from the De-
vices menu.
2. In the Devices list on the left, select the Quick Con-
trols option.
This will open the Quick Controls section on the right of
the dialog:
3. With your remote controller device connected to Cu-
base via MIDI, select the corresponding MIDI port on your
computer in the MIDI Input pop-up (or select “All MIDI In-
puts”).
If your remote controller has its own MIDI input and supports MIDI feed-
back, you can connect your computer to the device input. Then, select
the corresponding MIDI port in the MIDI Output pop-up.
4. Click “Apply” to apply your settings.
5. Select “QuickControl1” in the “Control Name” column.
6. Move the control (knob, fader or other) on your remote
control device that you want to use for the first quick con-
trol.
7. In the Device Setup dialog, click the Learn button.
8. Repeat the last 3 steps for the other quick controls.
You have now associated the slots on the Quick Control
tab with control elements on your external remote control-
ler. Moving a control element will automatically change the
value of the parameter assigned to the corresponding
quick control.
• The remote controller setup for quick controls is saved
globally, i.e. independent of any projects.
If you have various remote controllers, you can store and load several
quick control setups using the Export and Import buttons.
!
Quick controls that are assigned that way cannot
work when saved as track presets.
