Setting up VST Quick Controls with Remote Controllers (Legacy)

VST Quick Controls become particularly powerful if you use them in conjunction with a remote controller.

We recommend to set up VST Quick Controls in the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant and to use the Studio Setup dialog only in case you already used VST Quick Controls with an earlier version of Cubase.

Prerequisite

The MIDI output on your remote device is connected to a MIDI input on your MIDI interface.

Procedure

  1. Select Studio > Studio Setup.
  2. In the Devices list, select VST Quick Controls.
  3. Open the MIDI Input pop-up menu, and select a MIDI input.
  4. Optional: Open the MIDI Output pop-up menu, and select a MIDI output.
  5. Click Apply.
  6. Activate Learn.
  7. In the Control Name column, select QuickControl 1.
  8. On your MIDI device, move the control that you want to connect with the first quick control.
  9. Select the next slot in the Control Name column, and repeat the previous steps.
  10. Click OK.

Result

The VST Quick Controls are now connected with control elements on your MIDI device. If you move a control element, the value of the parameter that is assigned to the corresponding VST Quick Controls changes accordingly.

Note

The remote controller setup for VST Quick Controls is saved globally, that is, it is independent of any projects.
