MIDI Remote
MIDI Remote allows you to integrate and use third party MIDI controllers in Cubase.
The MIDI Remote concept is based on dedicated scripts for specic MIDI controllers. These
scripts establish a connection between a
specic MIDI controller and Cubase, and include factory
mappings to parameters.
The layout and functions of MIDI controllers with a script can be shown on the MIDI Remote tab
in the lower zone of the Project window. If a script is available for your MIDI controller, all you
have to do is plug in the controller, and you can start playing.
Cubase includes several MIDI controller scripts. If no script is yet available for your MIDI
controller, we encourage you to create one.
The MIDI Controller Surface Editor provides you with an easy way to create your own scripts. It
allows you to create a surface that describes the layout and the order of the control elements on
your MIDI controller.
As an alternative for those who have some programming skills and want to dive deeper into
scripting, we have created a MIDI Remote API that allows you to develop a script for your
dedicated MIDI controller.

MIDI Remote Tab
The MIDI Remote tab in the lower zone of the Project window allows you to load scripts for
MIDI controllers. It shows the layout of your controller and its control mappings to Cubase
parameters. All operations that you perform on the connected MIDI controller are displayed on
the MIDI Remote tab.
NOTE
The purpose of the surfaces that are shown on the MIDI Remote tab is to map Cubase functions
to your connected MIDI controller. After mapping, you can control those Cubase functions via
your MIDI controller.
To open the MIDI Remote tab, click the MIDI Remote tab in the lower zone of the Project
window.
