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 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. Select Studio> Studio Setup.
2. In the Devices list, select MIDI Port Setup.
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.
RESULT
Now you have removed the remote unit input from the All MIDI Inputs group. This means that
you can record MIDI tracks with the All MIDI Inputs port selected without risking to record the
data from the remote unit at the same time.
