Steinberg Houston
Houston is a MIDI/USB remote control device designed 
especially for use with VST audio applications such as 
Cubase. With clearly laid out controls (including touch 
sensitive motorized faders, rotary knobs, transport con-
trols and a jog/shuttle wheel) Houston allows you to con-
trol virtually Cubase, without having to use the computer 
keyboard or mouse.
For details about parameters and hands-on mixing tech-
niques, please see the Houston documentation.
In this version of Cubase, the following functions have 
been added:
[Dyn/User1]: Studio Send for selected channel

Remote controlling Cubase
JL Cooper CS-10
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:

 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:
The CS-10 function 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 Cubase. 
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the 
fader level in Cubase 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 
Cubase.
JL Cooper MCS-3000
The MCS-3000 can control 32 mixer channels remotely 
(in groups of 8). The following MCS-3000 controls will re-
mote control the following mixer parameter for each chan-
nel 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, etc.
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 CS-10 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing the 
mute, solo and selection status of channels in Cubase 
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.

Mackie Control
Mackie Control is an automated touch-sensitive control 
surface. It is a nine-fader (eight channels and master) MIDI

Roland MCR-8
The Roland MCR-8 can control 16 mixer channels, plus 
transport control. The “A/B switch” is used to switch be-
tween 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 equiv-
alent Cubase functions:
Play, Stop, Record, Rewind, Fast Forward.
Tascam US-428
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 Cubase) is cur-
rently 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.
To set markers, hold down “Set” while pressing a loca-
tor 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 Cubase.
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the 
fader level in Cubase and vice versa. When both indicators are dark, 
fader positions are matched for that channel.
Cubase mixer
The following US-428 controls will remote control the fol-
lowing mixer parameter for each channel strip:
Fader: volume
Mute/Solo: mute and solo (selected via the Solo switch)
Select: selects channel for editing
Pan-Dial: pan
EQ-Gain
Controls the EQ gain for each band selected with the Low, LoMid, HiMid 
and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cubase, 
starting from the leftmost band.
EQ-Freq
Controls the EQ frequency for each band selected with the Low, LoMid, 
HiMid and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cu-
base, starting from the leftmost band.
EQ-“Q”
Controls the EQ “Q” for each band selected with the Low, LoMid, HiMid 
and High buttons. These correspond to the four EQ bands in Cubase, 
starting from the leftmost band.
Aux 1 to Aux 4 and shuttle wheel: 
The effect send levels for sends 1 to 4. 
The shuttle wheel will act as position shuttle if no Aux 
send button is selected.
Press the activated button to deselect it.
Holding down the “Asgn” button and pressing the Low, 
LoMid, HiMid and High EQ buttons switches the corres-
ponding EQ band “On” button status.
Holding down the “Asgn” button and pressing the Aux1 
to Aux4 buttons switches the corresponding Effect Send 
1–4 “On” button status.
!Before you can initiate remote control operation, the 
MCR-8 “Mode” switch must be set to “4”.
!The MCR-8 does not support “MIDI feedback”, that 
is, the current status of parameters in Cubase is not 
indicated on the MCR-8. Therefore, you only need a 
one-way MIDI connection between the MCR-8 and 
Cubase.
!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.

Remote controlling Cubase
Yamaha 01V
The Yamaha 01V can remote control Cubase. 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 is very straightfor-
ward, 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, indica-
tors, etc. (for this to work, you need a two-way MIDI con-
nection between the 01V and Cubase).
To facilitate 32 channel remote control, two separate con-
trol “Layouts” are used, each controlling 16 mixer chan-
nels. 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:
Fader level, mute and pan.
01V controls for these parameters control the equivalent Cubase param-
eters.
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 param-
eters.
Stereo Master Volume.
The 01V control for this parameter controls the equivalent Cubase pa-
rameter.
Send effects master volume 1–4 are controlled by 01V 
Aux Master 1–4. Send effects master 5 and 6 are con-
trolled 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.
