Remote controlling Cubase
It is possible to control Cubase via MIDI.
A large number of MIDI control devices is supported. This chapter describes how
to set up Cubase for remote control. The supported devices are described in the
separate PDF document “Remote Control Devices”.
There is also a Generic Remote Device option, allowing you to use any MIDI
controller to remote control Cubase.

Setting Up
Connecting the remote device
Connect the MIDI output on the remote unit to a MIDI input on your MIDI interface.
Depending on the remote unit model, you may also need to connect a MIDI Out on
the interface to a MIDI In on the remote unit (this is necessary if the remote unit
features “feedback devices” such as indicators, motorized faders, etc.).
If you are recording MIDI tracks, you do not want any MIDI data from the remote unit
to be accidentally recorded as well. To avoid this, you should make the following
setting:
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Device Setup dialog from the Devices menu.
2. Select “MIDI Port Setup” in the list on the left.
3. Check the table on the right and locate the MIDI input to which you have
connected the MIDI remote unit.
4. Deactivate the checkbox in the “In ‘All MIDI Inputs’” column for that input, so
that the State column reads “Inactive”.
5. Click OK to close the Device Setup dialog.
