The supported remote control devices
Introduction
It is possible to control the program functions via MIDI. A
large number of MIDI control devices is supported natively
by the Steinberg sequencer applications. This manual lists
these remote control devices and offers you a brief description of the corresponding feature sets.
In addition to the devices listed in this document, you can
any remote control device with Steinberg applications
use
that comes with the necessary extension and drivers (e. g.
Steinberg’s CC121 controller). Please see the device’s
documentation for more information.
Ö Depending on the feature set of your Steinberg application, you might not be able to make use of all the functions described in this document.
Apple Remote (Macintosh only)
Many Apple computers come with an Apple Remote Control, a small hand-held device akin to TV remote controls. It
allows you to remotely control certain program features.
For a description of the parameters and functions of the
Apple Remote Control, please refer to the Operation
Manual.

JL Cooper CS-10
Houston is a MIDI/USB remote control device designed
especially for use with VST audio applications such as
Cubase or Nuendo. With clearly laid out controls (including touch sensitive motorized faders, rotary knobs, transport controls and a jog/shuttle wheel) Houston allows you
to control the
program, without having to use the com-
puter keyboard or mouse.
• For details about parameters and hands-on mixing techniques, please see the Houston documentation.
The following functions are available:
[Dyn/User1]: Studio Send for selected channel
•Page 01 – Level
•Page 02 – Enable
• Page 03 – Pre/Post

The CS-10 can remote control 32 channels (in groups
of 8). The following CS-10 controls will remote control the
following parameters for each channel strip:
•Fader: volume
• Solo and Mute: solo and mute
• Sel: select channel for editing
The following parameters can be remote controlled for
each selected channel using the six rotary knobs on the
CS-10:
Dial Parameter
Send 1 Effect send 1
Send 2 Effect send 2
Pan Pan
Boost/cut EQ 1 Gain
Frequency EQ 1 Frequency
Bandwidth EQ 1 Q Factor
• The CS-10 fu
nction keys 1–4 are used to select chan-
nels 1–32 in groups of 8.
Function key 1 selects channels 1–8, function key 2 selects channels 9–
16, and so on.
• If you hold down the function key “Shift” and then move
a fader, the two indicators beside the fader will indicate
whether the fader position is below or above the current
fader level in the program.
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the
fader level in the program and vice versa. When both indicators are dark,
the fader positions are matched for that channel.
• The CS-10 Play, Stop, Record, Rewind and Fast For-
ward transport controls control the equivalent functions in
the program.
The CS-10 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing the
mute, solo and selection status of channels in your
application to be indicated on the panel. For this (and
the fader position indication described above) to
work, you need a two-way MIDI connection between
the CS-10 and the program.

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 your application) is
currently 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 the program.
• To set markers, hold down “Set” while pressing a locator key.
• If you hold down the function key [Null] and 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 the program.
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the
fader level and vice versa. When both indicators are dark, fader positions
are matched for that channel.
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

Basic mixing with Mackie Control
The Fader Banks section
The Fader Groups section
Using the controls in the Fader Banks section
In the Fader Banks section, press the left or right Bank
button to switch from one set of eight channels to the
next. For example, if you are currently controlling Mixer
channels 1 to 8, pressing the right Bank button will switch
to the next eight channels, i.e. channels 9 to 16. To go
back to the previous eight channels, press the left Bank
button.
This section describes how to work with the faders and
the rows of buttons above them (Solo, Mute, Select and
Rec), and how to select which channels are affected by
the fader settings.
Selecting which channels to control
Mackie Control’s fader section controls eight different
channels in your application (plus the master level, which
has its own fader). You select which channels to control
with the aid of the Fader Banks section and the Fader
Groups section of Mackie Control.
Mackie Control
• If you press the left or right Channel button in the Fader
Banks section, the fader assignment will shift in steps of
one channel instead.
Let’s say the faders currently control audio channels 9–16. If you press
the left Channel button, the faders will shift one step to the left and control audio channels 8–15.
• Pressing the Flip button in the Fader Banks section
switches the parameter assignment between the faders
and the V-Pots, i.e. what was controlled with a fader is
now controlled with the corresponding V-Pot and vice
versa.

open an editor for the current selection.
• Hold down Shift and press Edit to close the currently
active window.
Using the controls in the Fader Groups section
In your application, you can create so called channel view
presets in your Mixer window, by selecting the channels to
be displayed and clicking the symbol button at the bottom
left of the Mixer window.
The Steinberg key assignments for Mackie Control make
use of the channel views feature. In the Fader Groups
section, the first channel view defined in your application
is assigned to button 1, the second channel view is assigned to button 2 and so on. In this way, you can switch
etween any of the first eight channel views of your pro-
b
gram by pressing one of the buttons in the Fader Groups
section.
Rec/Rdy
The buttons directly underneath the row of V-Pots are
used to arm a track for recording. The LEDs indicate the
record arming state for a particular track.
The Signal LEDs underneath the Rec/Rdy buttons indicate signal activity on the channels. The LED lights up as
soon as the level meter for a channel shows any activity.
Mute and Solo
Using the faders
The faders of Mackie Control are used for hands-on level
control and mixing, and allow precise adjustments of the
corresponding channel levels in your application. Since
the faders are motorized, they will move to reflect any level
automation you have created in your projects. The faders
will also move when you select a new set of eight channels to control, instantly jumping
els of the eight channels.
• The faders are also touch sensitive, which means that
as soon as you move a fader manually, the motors are
“overridden”.
In other words, if you have automated level changes, you can grab a
fader at any time, overriding the automation – just as you can click and
hold a moving fader on screen with the mouse.
• Even though the faders are very quiet, there may be situations when you want absolute silence – e.g. when mixing an extremely soft and subtle piece of music. If that is
the case, you can
disable the motors by clicking the Mo-
tors button in the Action Keys section.
When you are finished, click the Motors button again. The fader motors
are enabled again, and the faders will instantly move to reflect the current
levels.
Turning the motors off does not affect the program
automation – all automation data saved in your proj
ect is played back as usual.

The two rows of buttons underneath the Rec/Rdy buttons
allow you to mute or solo channels. The following rules
apply:
• You can mute or solo several channels at the same time.
• The Mute and Solo buttons always show the status of
the current set of eight channels!
This means that if you mute a channel and then select another set of
eight channels for fader control, the Mute indicator will go dark.
If you have soloed a channel, this is indicated by the
Rude Solo LED at the top right of the Mackie Control
panel. You can un-solo or un-mute any channel or
combination of channels by pressing (without or with
Shift) the Solo Defeat button, see
“Working with win-
dows” on page 31.

This makes the display switch to showing parameter values. Click the
Name/Value button again to go back to parameter names.
• The parameter values are also indicated by the LED
rings around the V-Pots.
About parameter sub-groups
Most of the settings are structured in the following way: a
parameter group (accessed by pressing a button in the
Assignment or Action Keys sections) contains one or several pages, each holding one or several parameters.
However, in the case of send effects, master effects, instruments (Global mode) and inserts (Selected Channel
mode), there
is one more hierarchical level, called a para-
meter sub-group. For example, the parameters for master
cts are structured in the following way:
effe
The “Master Effects” parameter group contains eight subgroups – one for each insert effect slot in your application.
Each sub-group contains a number of pages which contain a number of parameters (both numbers depending on
the activated
effects).
• To select another parameter sub-group, go to the first
page of the current sub-group and use V-Pot 1.
The figure below shows the first page of the first parameter sub-group in
the Master Effects group.
• Holding down the Shift button (on the right in the second row of buttons in the Action Keys section) and pressing Page Up or Page Down takes you to the first or last
available parameter page.
Once the parameter is shown in the display, you can adjust its value by moving the corresponding V-Pot.
• When you
move the V-Pot, the display will switch to
show the parameter values instead of the parameter
names.
After you have moved a V-Pot, the display will keep the values shown for
a short while before switching back to parameter names.
