•The Play, Stop, Record, "" transport controls control the 
equivalent functions in Cubase SX/SL.
•The jog wheel is used to move the project cursor position in Cubase 
SX/SL.
•The Scrub button is currently not supported.
•The status of the Num button (in the Software Navigation section) de-
termines the assignment of the "1" to "0" and Enter buttons:
With Num-LED on, use the buttons to set the project cursor position:
• Immediately after you enter a numeric character, the SAC-2k time display will 
no longer show the project cursor position but the new value.
• You don’t have to enter decimal points, colons, or semicolons for a new value.
• Num button: delete the new value and deactivate locate functionality.
• Enter button: set the project cursor to the position according to the new 
value.
• Store Marker button: set the project cursor to the position according to the 
new value, and create a marker at the new project cursor position.
With the Num-LED off:
• Use the "1" button for page up (step through pages of one parameter group).
• Hold down Shift and press the "1" button to jump to the last page.
• Use the "6" button for page down.
• Hold down Shift and press the "6" button to jump to the first page.
• Press the Enter button to switch the display of names of the available para-
meters in the lower row on or off.
• The function keys "2" to "5", "7" to "0" and function key combinations with the 
Shift button can be used to access functions in Cubase SX/SL. Refer to the 
Cubase SX/SL operation manual for information about how to assign pro-
gram functions to remote controller function keys.
Some of the keys are already pre-assigned (and/but can be modified):
"5" button: undo the last operation in Cubase SX/SL. Hold down Shift and 
press the "5" button to “undo the undo”.
"7" button: copy; hold down Shift and press the "7" button to cut.
"9" button: paste.
"0" button: save the current project; hold down Shift and press the "0" button 
to save a backup copy of the current project.
Hold down Shift and press the "2", "3", "4" or "8" buttons to control zooming

Roland MCR-8 
						

							CUBASE SX/SL9 – 36 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 chan-
nels 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. There-
fore, you only need a one-way MIDI connection between the MCR-8 and 
Cubase SX/SL.

Tascam US-428 
						

							CUBASE SX/SL10 – 38 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 dia-
log, 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 be-
ing 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.
