The CMC Channel Controller gives hands-on access to all channel-related Cubase functions. The 16 illuminated rubber buttons use Cubase's icons and colour scheme, making it intuitive to use. Access VST instrument settings, solo and mute tracks, bypass EQs, sends and inserts, or freeze a channel, all at the push of a button. The rotary encoder provides direct access to the pan setting, with an integrated LED light for visual feedback, while the high-resolution touch fader gives precise control over the volume of a track.
Eight buttons can hold a second, freely-assignable function accessible via the Shift button, giving you even more convenient control, and the Channel Select button lets you browse easily through the entire Cubase mixer.
CMC-FD Fader Controller:A cutting-edge USB controller, the Fader Controller boasts four high-resolution touch faders with integrated LED metering. Providing precise control over four Cubase channels at the same time, it also functions as a level meter with red LED lights indicating the exact volume levels of the selected tracks in Meter mode.
The Channel Select and Bank Select buttons let you quickly navigate through the Cubase mixer, and you can solo and mute channels simply by pressing the Shift button and tapping the relevant touch strip.
CMC-TP Transport Controller:The Transport Controller is built around a high-precision touch-sensitive slider with six working modes. Jog or shuttle through the project, tap in the tempo, scroll, zoom and browse, all with red LED lights providing visual feedback on the exact position. The slider is faster, smoother and more accurate than a mouse for controlling your audio.
The 17 backlit rubber buttons cover all major transport functions, as well as allowing you to insert markers, set the locator range or insert a new track. Four of the buttons can hold a second, user-assigned function.
CMC-QC Quick Controller:The Quick Controller controls the effects, EQ and performance parameters within Cubase. It boasts 13 illuminated buttons plus eight rotary encoders that alter their functions depending on which of the three dedicated working modes is selected. In EQ mode the rotary encoders give you accurate control over the frequency, gain and bandwidth levels; in Quick Control mode they can be assigned to software parameters; and in MIDI mode they function as freely-configurable MIDI controllers.
The included CMC-QC Editor software lets you edit the MIDI control change parameters via a slick graphical interface, with the parameter values displayed underneath the respective encoders.
CMC-PD Pad Controller:The Pad Controller features 16 responsive, backlit rubber pads in a 4x4 matrix. Perfect for virtual drum samplers, it lets you easily create natural drum grooves and complex rhythmic patterns. The lights on the pads change colour according to the velocity level for instant visual feedback, and the rotary encoder allows you to browse sounds and presets.
The controller also works well as an all-in-one DAW control desk. The MIDI note assignment for each pad can easily be changed using the included PD Editor software.
CMC-AI AI Controller:The AI Controller is centred around the acclaimed AI Knob, an innovative "point and precision" knob that allows you to quickly control visual Cubase objects such as mixer faders, EQ gain knobs or effect send levels. It also features two special working modes; Volume mode, where the AI Knob functions as a high-precision master volume control; and Jog mode, which equips the knob with intuitive jog functionality. Pushing the AI Knob once activates the Browse function, allowing you to select presets and sounds with the turn of the knob.
The controller also features four user-assignable function buttons, making it adaptable to your needs.
Cubase 7.5 has been produced to give musicians, producers and engineers the tools they need to get the job done at the highest possible level. New features have been added to streamline the process of making music. Not only does this make the process easier, but also quicker. Steinberg have created new features that allow you to manage your tracks and ideas in a much more intuitive way. The way VST instruments and FX integrate has been improved to offer better accessibility and includes 8 fantastic instruments and 69 high-end effects. Now Cubase 7.5 offers more musical features than ever before, making this version of the software more creative, easier to use and most importantly sounding better than ever before.
Features like track visibility mode allow you select what tracks you want to see. Large projects can get confusing when you have a high number of tracks. Track visibility can be used to streamline the arrange window and allow you to focus on the tracks remaining. It could be that you wish to hide all your MIDI tracks, or finalized versions you have recorded to audio. To do this enter the track visibility tab and de-select the white button next to each track you want to hide.
Instrument (t)rack 2.0 in Cubase 7.5 has updated the way plugins are opened. When you add a VST to the VST rack, a corresponding track is also added to the project window and vice versa. Instrument tracks now have multiple outputs for any instrument which can be easily selected.
TrackVersions has been designed to allow you to work on different versions of the same track, while keeping the same settings. You are now able to create, rename and manage parallel versions from inside the channel dropdown. This means you could for instance record multiple bass lines on the same channel and use the drop down to select the best one. Or you could be working on different vocal tracks and need to submit different versions. TrackVersion places alternative versions of recordings at hand where you need them. This process allows you to speed up your workflow and works with audio, MIDI, instruments, chord, tempo and signature tracks.
Cubase 7.5 now includes the new Groove Agent SE 4, the follow up to the hugely successful Groove Agent ONE. The great thing about the Groove Agent is its ease of use. It has been designed to resemble the MPC and maps for perfect integration. This allows you to start making beats quickly in a natural way and not having to feel like you been hindered by over complicated menus and processes. A Drum Machine is only as good as its sounds and these sounds have been designed and recorded by some of the most talented engineers available. This means you can go from laying down fat Hip Hop beats, then switch to groovy funk Beats with ease.
LoopMash has arrived to mangle and mash your tracks up like never before. This new little sonic torture device has been created to add that extra bit of randomisation to your music. These FXs can help add interest to beats, melodies and even master channels. These up to the minute FX styles are ideal for Dubstep and electronica, adding breaks, tape-stops and stutters. LoopMash had been designed for use in the studio, but really comes to life when used in a live environment. All the parameters can be mapped to any MIDI controller and performed in real time.
Developed to recreate the sound of classic FX units, the REVelation Reverb will add sparkle to any track. Steinberg have worked with professional engineers and film mixers to produce algorithms that sound just as stunning as the originals their mimicking. Reverbs are used to give sound a scene of space. They can be used on anything from vocals, strings to percussion to add a warm smooth ambience
Magneto hasn't been around since the days of Cubase SX, but now Steinberg have decided to resurrect and update this unit. What we have now is the new and shiny Magneto 2. Apart from having a facelift, Magneto 2 has been updated to produce a more realistic and natural tape saturation. Some critics say that digital is cold and lifeless, but not anymore because this little plugin will add the warmth that only analog tape can produce. Magneto 2 has a band-pass setting which allows you to select the frequency range of the effect you want to be applied. There is also a dual mode which simulates using two tape machines in sequence.
