In this episode of Masterclass we look at how to construct a custom User Panel for the External Instrument we created in the last episode. Whether you’re using a classic like the D50 or DX7 or sporting the latest flagship workstation being able to seamlessly integrate this equipment into Cubase is essential. This episode of Cubase Masterclass is the first of a two part series to help you get the most out of your external equipment. We’ll look at the concept of operations, review the necessary vocabulary, look at the library of tasks outlined in the operations manual and then walk through setting up two fairly straight-forward but powerful editing tools. This episode of Masterclass explores the Logical Editors which allow you to set up powerful, conditional editing tools which can greatly speed up complex or repetitive edits. We’ll explore hardware controller, iPad and iPhone apps (like Cubase icPRO) the tried and true Apple Remote and the dreaded Generic Remote! We also spend some time exploring alternative methods of control within Cubase Pro such as Quick Controls and Key Switches. Volume three covers how to integrate various remote control devices into your workflow. These include chord tracks, chord pads, chord editor and assistant as well as the integration of chord tools into various VST instruments and Score. Volume two of Masterclass covers some of the most powerful (but also most overlooked) features in Cubase the chord tools. Whether you’re looking to use the numerous time-manipulation tools in Cubase Pro for corrective or creative purposes Walt Hunnicutt will walk you through all the academic fundamentals as well as real-world demonstrations and applications. Volume one explores every aspect of manipulating time and timing in Cubase Pro. The Masterclass series takes on specific areas of Cubase Pro in depth to help advanced users get the highest levels of performance out of this remarkable software.
