Track Quick Controls
Manual assignment via the Inspector tab
Proceed as follows to manually assign track parameters:
1. On the Quick Controls tab, click on the first quick con-
trol slot.
A pop-up menu opens. It lists all parameters currently accessible for this
particular track.
2. Double-click the parameter that you want to assign to
the first quick control slot.
The parameter name and its value are displayed in the slot. You can
change the value by dragging the slider.
The track’s main volume parameter is assigned to quick control 1.
3. Repeat these steps for each quick control slot until all
eight slots are associated with track parameters.
You can now control the 8 functions most important to
you via one single Inspector section.
• To rename a quick control, double-click on the name in
the slot to select it, enter a new name and press [Enter].
• To replace a parameter assignment with a different pa-
rameter, click on the corresponding quick control slot and
double-click a different parameter.
Automatic assignment of VST instrument
parameters
When you create an instrument track or load a VST instru-
ment via the VST Instruments window (including creating
an associated MIDI track), the main parameters of the in
-
strument are automatically assigned to the slots on the
Quick Controls tab in the Inspector (if the VST instrument
supports this feature).
• To retrieve the default assignments for the main param-
eters of the VST instrument, click the “Get Default QCs
from Plug-in” button on the Inspector tab.
This is useful if you have changed the parameter assignment or if you
manually route a MIDI track to a VST instrument.
Removing parameter assignments
• To remove a parameter from a slot, double-click the pa-
rameter name to select it and press the [Delete] or [Back-
space] key. Confirm by pressing [Return].
• Alternatively, you can click in the corresponding slot and
select “No parameter” from the pop-up menu.
• To remove the quick control assignments for all slots,
press [Alt]/[Option] and click the “Remove All QC Assign-
ments” button.
Connecting quick controls with
remote controllers
Quick controls become really powerful when used in com-
bination with a remote controller. Setting up the connec-
tion 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.
