Track Quick Controls
This will open the Quick Controls section on the right of
the dialog:
3. With your remote control device connected to Cubase
via MIDI, select the corresponding MIDI port on your com-
puter in the MIDI Input pop-up menu (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 menu.
4. Click “Apply” to use the new MIDI port assignment.
5. Activate the Learn option.
6. In the “Control Name” column, select “QuickControl1”.
7. Move the control (knob, fader or other) on your remote
control device that you want to use for the first quick
control.
8. To assign further controls, select different slots in the
“Control Name” column and repeat the last steps.
Ö In addition to using the Learn function to set up the ta-
ble in the Quick Controls section, you can modify the val-
ues manually. The available options are identical to the
ones available for the Generic Control device, see
“The
Generic Remote device” on page 345.
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 vari-
ous remote controllers, you can store and load several
quick control setups using the Export and Import buttons.
Quick controls and automatable
parameters
The quick controls feature has one special extension: you
can use quick controls not only to access certain parame
-
ters of the current track, but also to control all automatable
parameters. This makes it possible to use the Quick Con
-
trols tab of a dedicated track as a kind of “mini mixer”,
controlling parameters on other tracks. Use this function
with caution, however, as you might accidentally modify
parameters on other tracks.
Proceed as follows:
1. Create a new, empty audio track and open its Quick
Controls tab.
This track has no events or parts.
2. Hold down the [Ctrl]/[Command] key and click on the
slot for quick control 1.
The parameter selection context menu opens, but it lists not the parame-
ters of the current track, but all automatable parameters.
3. Open the VST Mixer folder.
The pop-up menu lists all channels available in the Mixer
of your current project.
