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.

4 – 14 JL Cooper CS-10 
Specifications
 
The CS-10 can remote control 32 channels (in groups of 8). The fol-
lowing 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: 
• 
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.

The CS-10 supports “MIDI Feedback”, allowing the mute, solo and se-
lection 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.

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 trans-
port 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.
