I’m testing CC1 right now. Due to the strange fact that @steve moved [my initial thread on this topic](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/cc1-new-single-fader-controller-by-yamaha/1020902) to another, orphaned forum, I use this one for a few Nuendo-related remarks:

- The unit is heavy and feels quite sturdy, it looks quite big on the console desk - larger than I had judged from the pictures.
- Here, it needs dedicated power supply using the dedicated USB-input, the actual connection via my USB-3 hub was too weak.
- Installation is not totally straight-forward if your OS is in another language than English as it points to translated websites with some info missing, most notably the download button(s) for the Control Center. I erroneously installed Cubase AI instead. 😃
- Sometimes I had to close and re-start Nuendo 14 for no apparent reason to make it work.
- Once it’s up and running, the unit follows the channel-selection on the screen instantly and reliably, just like it should. 👍
- The buttons feel sharp-cut and not totally comfortable. The knobs and the fader are fine, though. The jog-wheel would benefit from the typical notch for the tip of a finger.
- !! I couldn’t make it work in Nuendo 12, with the exception of the fader. Any tricks I should know of …? 😛 _… this will be most likely the actual reason for me to return the device._ ----- [EDIT: Works to a certain extent in HUI Mode! See below.](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/yamaha-cc1-usb-controller/1021005/65)
- There’s indeed no obvious way to change existing assignments to buttons and wheels.
- This omission is somewhat alleviated by the possibilities of the “AI”-wheel that is straight-forward to use.
- The panning knob has a bug that only allows for the movement of the left channel when a stereo-track is routed to a stereo-“child” of a surround- or 3D-Group Channel. (Workaround: Route to a quadro-child instead).

… maybe there’s more to come.
