Remote controlling Cubase Essential
About this manual
It is possible to control Cubase Essential via MIDI. A large
number of MIDI control devices is supported. This manual
describes how to set up Cubase Essential for remote control, and lists the supported devices.
• There is also a Generic Remote Device option, allowing
you to use any MIDI controller to remote control Cubase
Essential.
How to set this up is described in the section “The Generic Remote de-
vice” on page 8.
Setting Up
Connecting the remote device
Connect the MIDI Out on the remote unit to a MIDI In 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 will be recording MIDI tracks, you don’t want any
MIDI data from the remote unit to accidentally be recorded
as well. To avoid this, you should also make the following
setting:
1. Open the Device Setup dialog from the Devices menu.
2. Select “MIDI Port Setup” in the list to the left.
3. Check the table to the right and locate the MIDI input
to which you have connected the MIDI remote unit.
4. Deactivate the check box 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.
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.
Selecting a remote device
1. Pull down the Devices menu and select Device Setup.
A dialog window opens with a list of device categories and devices shown
in the left part of the window.
2. If you can’t find the remote device you are looking for,
click on the plus sign in the top left corner and select the
device from the pop-up that appears.
The selected device is added to the Devices list.
• Note that it is possible to select more than one remote
device of the same type.
If you have more than one remote device of the same type, these will be
numbered in the Devices list. For example, to be able to use a Mackie
Control Extender, you must install a second Mackie control device.
3. Now select your MIDI control device model from the
Devices list.
Depending on the selected device, either a list of programmable function
commands or a blank panel is shown in the right half of the dialog window.
A Yamaha 01x selected as remote control device.
4. Select the correct MIDI input from the pop-up menu.
If necessary, select the correct MIDI output from the pop-up menu.
6
Remote controlling Cubase Essential
5. Click OK to close the dialog.
You can now use the MIDI control device to move faders and knobs, activate Mute and Solo, etc. The exact parameter configuration depends on
which external MIDI control device you are using.
!
This is only relevant when you are using a remote
control device and Write mode is activated in the
mixer.
!
Sometimes communication between Cubase Essential and a remote device is interrupted or the handshaking protocol fails to create a connection. To reestablish communication with any device in the Devices list, select it and click the Reset button in the
Device Setup dialog. Also, the “Send Reset Message
to all Devices” button at the top of the dialog will reset
every device in the Devices list.
Operations
Writing automation using remote controls
Automating the mixer using a remote control device is done
in the same way as when you operate on-screen controls in
Write mode. However, when it comes to replacing existing
automation data, there is one important difference:
• 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 until 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. The reason for this is explained below.
As a consequence, an additional precaution must be taken:
• Make sure you move only the controller you want to replace!
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, however, there is no mouse
button involved, and Cubase Essential cannot tell whether
you “grab and hold” a fader, or simply move it and release
it. Instead, you have to indicate that you have “released”
the control by stopping playback.
!
The above does not apply to the Mackie Control or
any other remote control device with touch sensitive
controls. These devices will stop writing as they have
touch sensitive faders, which means that they stop
writing as soon as you release the fader.
Assigning remote key commands
For some of the supported remote devices, you can assign any Cubase Essential function (to which a key command can be assigned) to generic buttons, wheels or
other controls. As of this writing, these devices are:
•Tascam US-428
• Yamaha 01x
• Yamaha DM 2000v2
• Yamaha DM 1000v2
•Steinberg Houston
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the Device Setup dialog and select one of the
remote devices that support this feature.
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 Essential function.
3. Click in the “Category” column for the control, and select one of the Cubase Essential function categories from
the pop-up menu that appears.
4. Click in the “Command” column, and select the desired
Cubase Essential function from the pop-up menu that appears.
The available items on the pop-up menu depend on the selected category.
5. Click “Apply” when you are done.
The selected function is now assigned to the button or
control on the remote device.
A note about remote controlling MIDI tracks
While most remote control devices will be able to control
both MIDI and audio channels in Cubase Essential, the
parameter setup may be different. For example, audiospecific controls (such as EQ) will be disregarded when
controlling MIDI channels.

Remote controlling Cubase Essential
The Generic Remote device
If you have a generic MIDI controller, you can use this for
remote control of Cubase Essential by setting up the Generic Remote device:
1. Open the Device Setup dialog on the Devices menu.
If the Generic Remote device isn’t on the Devices list, you need to add it.
2. Click the “+” sign in the top left corner and select the
“Generic Remote” device from the pop-up menu.
• When the Generic Remote device is added in the Device
Setup dialog, you can open the corresponding window by
selecting “Generic Remote” from the Devices menu.
The Generic Remote window
3. Select the Generic Remote device in the Devices list
to the left.
The settings for the Generic Remote device are displayed, allowing you
to specify which control on your device should control which parameter
in Cubase Essential.
5. Use the pop-up menu to the right to select a bank.
Banks are combinations of a certain number of channels, and are used
because most MIDI devices can control only a limited number of channels at a time (often 8 or 16). For example, if your MIDI control device has
16 volume faders, and you are using 32 mixer channels in Cubase Essential, you would need two banks of 16 channels each. When the first
bank is selected you control channel 1 to 16; when the second Bank is
selected you control channel 17 to 32. Since you can control Transport
functions as well, you may need several banks.
6. Set up the table at the top according to the controls
on your MIDI control device.
The columns have the following functionality:
Column Description

ing you to specify the type of MIDI message sent by the
control. The options are Controller, Program Change,
Note On, Note Off, Aftertouch and Polyphonic Pressure.
Also available are Continuous Control NRPN and RPN, a
way to extend the available control messages. ??The
“Ctrl JLCooper” option is a special version of a Continuous Controller where the 3rd byte of a MIDI message is
used as address instead of the 2nd byte (a method supported by various JL-Cooper remote devices).

used by the program to “scale” the value range of the
MIDI controller to the value range of the program parameter.
ing you to activate or deactivate three 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” dial,
which reports the number of turns instead of an absolute
value.
4. Use the MIDI Input and Output pop-up menus to select the MIDI port(s) to which your remote device is connected.
Remote controlling Cubase Essential
• 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.
8
• 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.
7. Use the table at the bottom to specify which Cubase
Essential 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:

One example of this is the selection of remote banks.
This is where you select the channel to be controlled or, if
the “Command” Device option is selected, the Command
category.
ing you to select the parameter of the channel to be
controlled (typically, if the “VST Mixer” Device option is
selected you can choose between volume, pan, send
levels, EQ, etc.).
If the “Command” Device option is selected, this is where
you specify the “Action” of the category.
ing you to activate or deactivate three flags:
Push Button – When activated, the parameter is only
changed if the received MIDI message shows a value
unequal to 0.
Toggle – When activated, the parameter value is
switched between minimum and maximum value each
time a MIDI message is received. The combination of
Push Button and Toggle is useful for remote controls
which do not latch the state of a button. One example is
controlling mute status with a device on which pressing
the Mute button turns it on, and releasing the Mute button
turns it off. If Push Button and Toggle are activated, the
Mute status will change between on and off whenever
the button is pressed on the console.
Not Automated – When activated, the parameter will not
be automated.
9. When you are finished, close the Device Setup window.
Now, you can control the specified Cubase Essential parameters from
the MIDI remote device. To select another bank, use the pop-up menu in
the Remote Status window (or use a control on the MIDI remote device,
if you have assigned one for this).
Importing and exporting remote setups
The Export button in the top right corner of the Generic
Remote Setup window allows you to export the current
setup, including the Control configuration (the table at the
top) and all banks. The setup is saved as a file (with the
Windows file extension “.xml”). Clicking the Import button
allows you to import saved remote setup files.
• The last imported or exported remote setup will automatically be loaded when the program starts or the Generic Remote control is added in the Device Setup dialog.
8. If necessary, select another bank and make settings
for it.
Note that you only need to make settings in the bottom table for this bank.
The table at the top is already set up according to the MIDI remote device.
• If necessary, you can add banks by clicking the Add
button below the Bank pop-up.
Clicking the Rename button allows you to assign a new name to the currently selected bank, and you can remove an unneeded bank by selecting it and clicking the Delete button.

Yamaha 01V
The Yamaha 01V can remote control Cubase Essential.
Before you can initiate remote control operation, the 01V
must be set up in the following way:
• MIDI Parameter Change and Receive must be enabled.
• MIDI Control Change and Receive must be disabled.
• Device ID / MIDI Channel Receive must be set to “1”.
• Local Control should be set to “Off”.
As soon as Local Control is set to “Off”, remote control is enabled.
The 01V remote operation of Cubase Essential is very
straightforward, with (almost) every parameter having the
equivalent parameter controller in the 01V mixer. The current status of all controllable parameters is fed back to the
01V and indicated on the panel, using the motorized faders, indicators, etc. (for this to work, you need a two-way
MIDI connection between the 01V and Cubase Essential).
To facilitate 32 channel remote control, two separate control “Layouts” are used, each controlling 16 mixer channels. The “Memory” button on the 01V is used to switch
between VST layout 1 and 2. Page 1 displays VST Layout
1, and page 2 VST Layout 2.
The following parameters are remote controllable for
channels 1–32 in the mixer:
!
The value ranges for the parameters in the 01V may
not match the ranges for the corresponding parameters in all cases.
• Fader level, mute and pan.
01V controls for these parameters control the equivalent Cubase Essential parameters.
• Effect sends 1–6.
01V Aux 1–4 control effect send 1–4, 01V effect 1 and 2 control effect
send 5 and 6.
• EQ Frequency, Gain and Q (4 bands).
01V controls for these parameters control the equivalent Cubase Essential parameters.
• Stereo Master Volume.
The 01V control for this parameter controls the equivalent Cubase Essential parameter.
• Send effects master volume 1–4 are controlled by 01V
Aux Master 1–4. Send effects master 5 and 6 are controlled by 01V effect master 1 and 2.
With Layout 1 the 01V controls the following channels:
• Channel 1–12, 13/14 and 15/16 will control channels
1–14.
• 01V Return 1 and 2 will control channels 15 and 16.
With Layout 2 the 01V controls the following channels:
• Channel 1–12, 13/14 and 15/16 will control channels
17–30.
• 01V Return 1 and 2 will control channels 31 and 32.
