Adding MIDI Controller Surfaces
If you want to use a MIDI controller that is not yet supported and, for this reason, has no script,
you must rst add a new MIDI controller surface for it.
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.
PROCEDURE
1.
On the MIDI Remote info line, click Go to MIDI Controllers Overview.
2.
In the overview, click Add MIDI Controller Surface.
3. In the Add MIDI Controller Surface dialog, enter the required information, and select the
MIDI ports of your MIDI controller.
NOTE
Special characters are not allowed in that dialog.
Make sure that you select the correct MIDI ports of your MIDI controller. Otherwise,
your surface script will not work as expected.
4. Click Create MIDI Controller Surface.
RESULT
The MIDI Controller Surface Editor opens in the lower zone of the Project window. Here, you
can edit the controller surface.
