Enable Auto Select
If this option is activated, touching a fader on a touch-sensitive remote control
device automatically selects the corresponding channel. On devices without
touch-sensitive faders, the channel gets selected as soon as you move the
fader.
Writing automation using remote controls
Automating the MixConsole using a remote control device is done in the same way
as when you operate on-screen controls in Write mode. In order to replace existing
automation data for a control, the computer needs to know how long the user
actually “grabbed” or used the control. When doing this “on screen”, the program
simply detects when the mouse button is pressed and released. When you are
using an external remote control device without touch-sensitive controls, Cubase
cannot tell whether you “grab and hold” a fader or simply move it and release it.
Therefore, when you are using a device without touch-sensitive controls and want
to replace existing automation data, pay attention to the following:
• If you activate Write mode and move a control on the remote control device,
all data for the corresponding parameter is replaced from the position where
you moved the control, up to the position where playback is stopped.
In other words, as soon as you move a control in Write mode, it remains
“active” until you stop playback.
• Make sure that you move only the controller you want to replace.
Assigning remote key commands
For some remote devices, you can assign any Cubase function (to which a key
command can be assigned) to generic buttons, wheels, or other controls.
PROCEDURE
1. Open the Device Setup dialog and select your remote device.
On the right side of the window you will find a three column table. This is where you
assign commands.
2. Use the Button column to locate a remote device control or button to which
you wish to assign a Cubase function.
3. Click in the Category column for the control and select one of the Cubase
function categories from the pop-up menu.
4. Click in the Command column and select the desired Cubase function from
the pop-up menu.
The available items on the pop-up menu depend on the selected category.
5. Click “Apply” when you are done.
Click “Reset” to revert to the default settings.
