Introduction

About this document

As described in the Operation Manual, the mixing functions in Cubase
SX/SL can be remote controlled via MIDI. This document lists and de­scribes all currently supported MIDI remote devices. For details on
how to select and set up a remote device, please refer to the chapter
“Remote controlling the mixer” in the Operation Manual. There you will
also find a description of the Generic Remote Device, which allows
you to use any MIDI device as a remote controller.

Steinberg Houston

About Houston

Houston is a MIDI/USB remote control device designed especially for
use with VST audio applications such as Cubase SX/SL. With clearly

laid out controls (including touch sensitive motorized faders, rotary
knobs, transport controls and a jog/shuttle wheel) Houston allows you
to control virtually every mixer parameter in Cubase SX/SL, without
having to use the computer keyboard or mouse.

•

For details about parameters and hands-on mixing techniques, please
see the Houston documentation.

JL Cooper CS-10

Specifications

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 function keys 1 - 4 are used to select channels 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 Cubase SX/SL.

If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the fader level in
Cubase SX/SL 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 Forward transport
controls control the equivalent functions in Cubase SX/SL.

CUBASE SX/SL

4 – 14 JL Cooper CS-10

The CS-10 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing the mute, solo and se­lection status of channels in Cubase SX/SL 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 Cubase SX/
SL.

mixer parameter for each channel strip:

•

Fader: volume

•

Solo and Mute: solo and mute

•

Sel: Select channel for editing

These parameters can be remote controlled for each selected channel using the dials
on the MCS-3000 and switching between Pages 1 - 4:

The MCS-3000 bank keys 1 - 4 are used to select channels 1 - 32 in
groups of 8.

Bank key 1 selects channels 1 - 8, bank key 2 selects channels 9 - 16 and so on.

•

You can create markers by pressing the “Set Locate” key on the
MCS-3000, typing in a marker ID and pressing [Return].

•

To locate to a marker, press “Locate”, type in a marker ID and press
[Return].

•

The MCS-3000 Play, Stop, Record, Rewind and Fast Forward trans­port controls will have the equivalent functionality in Cubase SX/SL.

The MCS-3000 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing fader settings and
channel mute, solo and selection status to be indicated on the panel.
For this to work, you need a two-way MIDI connection between the
MCS-3000 and Cubase SX/SL.

Roland MCR-8

Specifications

Before you can initiate remote control operation, the MCR-8 “Mode”
switch must be set to “4”.

The Roland MCR-8 can control 16 mixer channels, plus transport
control. The “A/B switch” is used to switch between controlling chan­nels 1 - 8 and 9 - 16. The following MCR-8 parameters control the
equivalent parameters for each channel strip:

• Fader level, mute, solo and pan.

The following MCR-8 transport controls control the equivalent Cubase
SX/SL functions:

• Play, Stop, Record, Rewind, Fast Forward.

The MCR-8 does not support “MIDI feedback”, that is, the current status
of parameters in Cubase SX/SL is not indicated on the MCR-8. There­fore, you only need a one-way MIDI connection between the MCR-8 and
Cubase SX/SL.

Tascam US-428

Specifications

The US-428 can remote control up to 64 mixer channels and 1 or 2
DSP Factory cards, if installed (Windows version only).

• 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 Cubase SX/SL) 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
Cubase SX/SL.

• To set markers, hold down “Set” while pressing a locator key.

• If you hold down the function key [Null] and then 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 Cubase SX/
SL.

If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the fader level in
Cubase SX/SL 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 Control” port as input and output.

Yamaha 01V

Specifications

The Yamaha 01V can remote control either the Cubase SX/SL mixer
or the Yamaha DSP Factory if installed (Windows only; see the sepa-

rate “Using Cubase SX/SL with DSP Factory” document for details).
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 of the mixer is enabled.

The 01V remote operation of the Cubase SX/SL mixer 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 two­way MIDI connection between the 01V and Cubase SX/SL).

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 (when using
Cubase SX/SL for Windows there are also two layouts for the DSP
Factory – see the “Using Cubase SX/SL with DSP Factory” docu­ment). Page 1 displays VST Layout 1, page 2 VST Layout 2, page 3
DSP Factory Layout 1 and page 4 DSP Factory Layout 2.

CUBASE SX/SL

11 – 42 Yamaha 01V

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 SX/SL 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 SX/SL parameters.

• Stereo Master Volume.

The 01V control for this parameter controls the equivalent Cubase SX/SL 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.
