4.Now assign a parameter of one particular channel to 
quick control 1, and another parameter of another channel 
to quick control 2.
The Quick Controls tab has become a “secondary” mixer, 
dedicated to quick-controlling parameters on other tracks.
!Quick controls that are assigned that way cannot 
work when saved as track presets.

Remote controlling Cubase
Introduction
It is possible to control Cubase via MIDI. A large number 
of MIDI control devices is supported. This chapter de
-
scribes how to set up Cubase for remote control. The 
supported devices are described in the separate PDF 
document “Remote Control Devices”.
•There is also a Generic Remote Device option, allowing 
you to use any MIDI controller to remote control Cubase.
How to set this up is described in the section “The Generic Remote de-
vice” on page 345....

•In the Project window (track list) and the Mixer (bottom 
of channel strips) you will now see white stripes indicating 
which channels are currently linked to the remote control 
device.
Audio 10 can be remote controlled, while Audio 11 is not linked to the 
remote control device. 
Operations
Global options for remote controllers
In the Device Setup dialog, on the page for your remote 
device, some (or all) of the following global functions may 
be available (depending on...

•Click “Reset” to revert to the default settings.
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, the parameter 
setup may be different. For example, audio-specific con
-
trols (such as EQ) will be disregarded when controlling 
MIDI channels.

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 be-
cause 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 vol-
ume faders, and you are using 32 Mixer channels in Cubase, you would 
need two banks of 16 channels each. When the first bank is selected you 
can control channel 1 to 16; when the second Bank is...

8.If necessary, make settings for another bank.
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 menu.
Clicking the Rename button allows you to assign a new name to the cur-
rently selected bank, and you can remove an unneeded bank by select-
ing it and clicking the Delete button.

MIDI realtime parameters and effects
Introduction
For each MIDI track, you can set up a number of track pa-
rameters, or modifiers, and MIDI effects. These affect how 
the MIDI data is played back, “transforming” MIDI events 
in realtime before they are sent to the MIDI outputs.
On the following pages, the available parameters and ef-
fects are described. Keep in mind:
• The actual MIDI events will not be affected – the changes 
happen “on the fly”.
• Since the modifier settings do not change the...

ÖNote that the functionality of the Bank and Patch selec-
tor settings (used for selecting sounds in the connected 
MIDI instrument) depends on the instrument to which the 
MIDI output is routed, and how you have set it up in the 
MIDI Device Manager. The MIDI Device Manager allows 
you to specify which MIDI instruments and other devices 
are connected to the various MIDI outputs, thus making it 
possible to select patches by name. See the chapter 
“Us-
ing MIDI...
