Remote controlling the mixer
Tascam US-428
Specifications
The US-428 can remote control up to 64 mixer channels.
• When the Tascam US-428 device is added in the Device
Setup dialog, you can open the Remote Status window by
selecting “Tascam US-428” from the Devices menu.
This indicates which bank (group of eight channels in Cubase AI) is cur-
rently being controlled by the remote device. To select another bank, use
the pop-up menu in the window or use the Bank Left/Right buttons on
the remote device.
• The US-428 transport keys will have the equivalent
functionality in Cubase AI.
• To set markers, hold down “Set” while pressing a loca-
tor key.
• If you hold down the function key [Null] and then move a
fader, the Select and Rec indicators above the fader will
indicate whether the fader position is below or above the
current fader level in Cubase AI.
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the
fader level in Cubase AI and vice versa. When both indicators are dark,
fader positions are matched for that channel.
Cubase AI mixer
The following US-428 controls will remote control the fol-
lowing mixer parameter for each channel strip:
• Fader: volume
• Mute/Solo: mute and solo (selected via the Solo switch)
• Select: selects channel for editing
• Pan-Dial: pan
• EQ-Gain
Controls the EQ gain for each band selected with the Low, LoMid, HiMid
and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cubase AI,
starting from the leftmost band.
• EQ-Freq
Controls the EQ frequency for each band selected with the Low, LoMid,
HiMid and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cu-
base AI, starting from the leftmost band.
• EQ-“Q”
Controls the EQ “Q” for each band selected with the Low, LoMid, HiMid
and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cubase AI,
starting from the leftmost band.
• Aux 1 to Aux 4 and shuttle wheel:
The effect send levels for sends 1 to 4.
• The shuttle wheel will act as position shuttle if no Aux
send button is selected.
Press the activated button to deselect it.
• Holding down the “Asgn” button and pressing the Low,
LoMid, HiMid and High EQ buttons switches the corres-
ponding EQ band “On” button status.

Yamaha 01V
Specifications
The Yamaha 01V can remote control the Cubase AI mixer.
Before you can initiate remote control operation, the 01V
must be set up in the following way:
• MIDI Parameter Change and Receive must be enabled.
• MIDI Control Change and Receive must be disabled.
• Device ID / MIDI Channel Receive must be set to “1”.
• Local Control should be set to “Off”.
As soon as Local Control is set to “Off”, remote control of the mixer is
enabled.
The 01V remote operation of the Cubase AI mixer is very
straightforward, with (almost) every parameter having the
equivalent parameter controller in the 01V mixer. The cur-
rent status of all controllable parameters is fed back to the
01V and indicated on the panel, using the motorized fad-
ers, indicators, etc. (for this to work, you need a twoway
MIDI connection between the 01V and Cubase AI).
!
The US-428 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing for
mute/solo, channel selection, EQ band, Aux 1 to 4
and transport status to be indicated on the panel. For
this (and the fader position indication described
above) to work, you need to select the “US-428
Control” port as input and output.
