Track Quick Controls
Introduction
Nuendo can give you instant access to up to eight para-
meters of each audio, MIDI or instrument track. This is 
done with the aid of the so-called quick controls, set up 
on the Quick Controls Inspector tab for these tracks.
The Quick Controls tab can be used as a kind of track 
control center, an area in which your most important pa
-
rameters are assembled in one place. This saves you from 
having to click your way through the various windows and 
sections...

1.In Nuendo, open the Device Setup dialog from the De-
vices menu.
2.In the Devices list on the left, select the Quick Con-

The pop-up menu lists all channels available in the Mixer 
of your current project. 
4.Now assign a parameter of one particular channel to 
quick control 1, and another parameter of another channel 
to quick control 2.
Here, quick controls 1–8 have been set up to control the main volume 
of eight audio tracks.
The Quick Controls tab has become a “secondary” mixer, 
dedicated to quick-controlling parameters on other tracks.

of MIDI control devices is supported. This chapter de

scribes how to set up Nuendo 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 Nuendo.
How to set this up is described in the section “The Generic Remote de-

•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.

remote control device.

A note about remote controlling MIDI tracks
While most remote control devices will be able to control 
both MIDI and audio channels in Nuendo, 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 Nuendo, 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...
