Column Description
Houston status value, see the Steinberg
Houston hardware manual.
MIDI Channel Clicking in this column opens a pop-
up menu, allowing you to select the
MIDI channel on which the controller is
transmitted.
Address The Continuous Controller number, the
pitch of a note, or the address of a NRPN/
RPN Continuous Controller.
Max. Value The maximum value the control will
transmit. This value is used by the program
to “scale” the value range of the MIDI
controller to the value range of the
program parameter.
Flags Clicking in this column opens a pop-
up menu, allowing you to activate or
deactivate flags:
Receive – activate this if the MIDI
message should be processed on
reception.
Transmit – activate this if a MIDI
message should be transmitted
when the corresponding value in the
program changes.
Relative – activate this if the control
is an “endless” rotary encoder, which
reports the number of turns instead
of an absolute value.
If you find that the table at the top holds too many or too few controls, you can add
or remove controls with the Add and Delete buttons to the right of the table.
If you are uncertain of which MIDI message a certain controller sends, you can use
the Learn function.
Select the control in the upper table (by clicking in the Control Name column),
move the corresponding control on your MIDI device and click the Learn button
to the right of the table. The MIDI Status, MIDI Channel, and Address values are
automatically set to those of the moved control.
If you use the Learn function for a control that sends a Program Change value, the
“Prog. Change Trigger” option is automatically selected on the “MIDI Status” pop-up
menu. This allows you to use the different values of a Program Change parameter to
control different parameters in Cubase.
If this does not give you the result you want, try using the “Prog. Change” value
instead.
7. Use the table at the bottom to specify which Cubase parameters you want to control.
Each row in the table is associated to the controller in the corresponding row in the first
table (as indicated by the Control Name column). The other columns have the following
functionality:
