Hello. Just installed a trial of Cubase Pro 12, and am impressed with the new features that help a user set up midi controllers.
I was wondering however as to what extent the new MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant covers.
I ask, as I am no expert on Cubase Pro 12, especially as its just been released.
I was wondering if it would be possible for a user to create a Mackie Control Universal style control surface using the MIDI Remote Mapping Assistant in Cubase Pro 12.
I ask, as I am presently making basic DIY midi controllers using Arduino embedded electronics prototype platform.
I also was a little disappointed that Steinberg had not built into its core software architecture the facility to allow more than just 8 Quick Controls or focus Quick Controls.
Ultimately, from a DIY control surface developers perspective, it would ideally like the facility to be able to create a control surface that looks and feels like a normal analogue desk, that has 4 bands of EQ, x amounts of channels, x amounts of sends, as well as transport controls.
Plus, I would also like to be able the flexibility to be able to make a control surface for each and every one of the plug ins that I use. Perhaps with the facility to be able to use the same plug in controller for more than one track (multi-track mode, so that the same plug in inserted on more than one track. for example, a channel strip, EQ or compressor).
I am sure if you guys at Steinberg had a long think about what I am suggesting,
I am sure you will realise that is how pro studio boffins and even home studio boffins
would ideally like their set up to be.
Although I also appreciate the multi-purpose one size fits all controllers also
being useful. Personally I think that if you can have one knob for one job. then if you have the space and it won’t break your back or bank balance to do so, then why not!
boys and their toys! always more toys please!
