This is just a post to see what sort of interest there would be in a higher end Cubase controller released by Yamaha Steinberg.
I have the CC121 which is great for what it does, but its single fader, ultimate lack of features (compared to what could be done) and the fact alot of users do not use the EQ buttons as they are not exactly intuitive (Upside down) and prefer many VST based eqs.
Something along the lines of CS18 which works for Studio one, with either depending 8 or 16 faders (depending on opinion and the amount customers are prepared to pay.
In my opinion as a Midi composing platform, Cubase is still ahead of the pack , but workflow can become difficult because of the amount of features packed in.
I know their are other MCU or Eucon (problems) out their which work well with cubase , but a deeper integration and a logical layout specific to cubase is something i would very much be willing to pay for.
I understand that steinberg dont feel their is a market for a dedicated controller after the CMC series failed, and the older CC121 still for sale. However, is this the perception of its users , or is there a real demand for something like i am describing.
So the point of this post is really to find out what users really want, and if they are willing to pay more for something that was deeply intergrated and hugely improved workflow.
Please use this thread to voice your opinions and vote in the poll, as well as suggestions. The Nuage system is well beyond the reach of most of us Cubase /Nuendo users, but some of the intergration ideas and code from this system may be very helpful in a cut down , single form control that may or may not allow for fader expansion.
Let me know your views ; i am looking at the SSL Nucleus at the moment (PC) but would much rather spend that kind of money on a control surface which works specfically for the steinberg software ; but for my needs i cant really find any other attractive options (MCU is good , but long in the tooth and can misbehave with new updates.)
If there is enough interest, perhaps steinberg may even reconsider looking at a control surface that takes on users needs and views.
