Using Supported MIDI Controllers with MIDI Remote
The layout and the functions of supported MIDI controllers, that is, controllers with a script, are
shown on the MIDI Remote tab in the lower zone of the Project window.
PREREQUISITE
If you have previously used an earlier version of Cubase, and if you already set up your MIDI
controller using Generic Remote, Track Quick Controls or VST Quick Controls, open the Studio
Setup dialog, open the MIDI Port Setup page, and set the corresponding MIDI ports to Not
Connected. This ensures that no double mappings occur when the MIDI Remote functionality
automatically detects those MIDI controllers on connection.
NOTE
Some of the supported MIDI controllers require additional settings to work with Cubase. To open
a document with the necessary information, open the MIDI Remote tab, and click Open Setup
Information in the upper right corner of the MIDI controller surface.
PROCEDURE
1.
Connect your MIDI controller to your computer.
2. In the lower zone of the Project window, click MIDI Remote.
3. Optional: If you have connected several supported MIDI controllers, click the controller
surface that you want to use in the MIDI controllers overview.
RESULT
In the MIDI Remote tab, the layout and the functions of the connected MIDI controller are
displayed. Here, you can also see which
Cubase functions are mapped to controls on your MIDI
controller.

Other MIDI Controllers and MIDI Remote
You can also use MIDI controllers that do not have a ready-to-use script. For this purpose, you
must create a custom controller surface.
Cubase offers an easy way to create your own controller surface. It includes the following steps:
Adding a MIDI controller surface in the Add MIDI Controller Surface dialog.
Editing the MIDI controller surface in the MIDI Controller Surface Editor.
Mapping the controls to Cubase functions in the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant.
You can also create controller surfaces by writing a script with the MIDI Remote API.
