Engineered specifically for the thousands of production environments
using Cubase worldwide, CC121 interfaces the creativity of musicians
and producers with the functional complexity of the world’s most
popular music production system. Built to an extremely high
manufacturing and component standard, CC121 provides totally integrated
tactile control of all parameters within Cubase, with a unique design
architecture that keeps you 100% focused on your Cubase project.
Instant plug and play
CC121
features full plug and play with Cubase, requiring no additional setup
as a controller device. A swift, one-step installation procedure as a
USB device is all that’s required. Once the CC121 has been installed,
Cubase detects the device when launched, and automatically binds CC121
into the Cubase production environment. To reflect this, the ‘Cubase
Ready’ lamp lights up – CC121 is ready to assume control. Instant plug
and play is just one of the advantages of CC121 as a fully integrated
controller with Cubase, bonding with Cubase to form one exhilaratingly
powerful hardware/software production system.
USB bus-powered
The
CC121 is powered using the USB bus on your computer. This means simply
connecting the CC121 to a USB port offers full control over Cubase.
When the included AC adaptor is also connected, the precision fader is
motorized, accurately displaying the volume level on the selected track.
Fully mirrored functionality
One
of the major advantages of the CC121 is the
software-hardware-mirroring. In distinction from DAW controllers you’ll
find all Cubase controlling functions in hardware exactly mirrored to
their software counterpart. You don’t need to learn where you´ve put
the functions on your controller. You can work with your Cubase as
intuitive as before but with the convenience of a hardware mixer. It´s
possible to control all functions with the push of a button. No more
necessity for long mouse clicking ways.
AI Knob - Revolutionary Advanced Integration Controller
Perhaps
the most innovative area of CC121 is the revolutionary AI Knob, a
‘point and control’ precision controller. Rather than attempting to
replace traditional mouse pointing devices, the AI Knob harnesses the
flexibility of a computer mouse to offer unprecedented speed when
editing parameters and adjusting settings. The computer mouse is simply
moved over the parameter, which is then automatically placed under full
precision control through the AI Knob, with no need to make any
additional settings in Cubase, any additional software module or on the
interface itself. The parameter can be locked to the AI Knob to retain
control when the mouse is moved elsewhere onscreen.
Dedicated Cubase controls
The
unique AI Knob is paired with a range of dedicated, high-quality
hardware controls over a huge range of Cubase transport, channel and EQ
features. High-quality controller switches and rotary knobs dedicated
to specific functions mean no tedious stepping through parameters for
control. Colour coding that mirrors the Cubase buttons further supports
easy navigation with CC121.
