8/29/2023 0 Comments Steinberg cc121![]() ![]() ![]() There's a known bug that prevents the EQ controls from working on Rewire channels, although Steinberg are hoping to resolve this quickly.īelow the EQ controls are eight transport buttons mirroring those in Cubase and Nuendo (Stop, Play, Record, Cycle, Forward, Rewind, Previous and Next). This provides superb control for those who use the built‑in Cubase EQ, and while Steinberg must be aware that some users abandoned their harsh‑sounding 'pre‑Cubase VST 5' EQ some years ago in favour of third-party EQ plug‑ins, no doubt they are hoping this will persuade them to try the Cubase 4.5 EQ, which does sound far better. There are global EQ Type and All Bypass buttons, and then for each band there's an on/off button and rotary knobs for Q, frequency and gain. The central EQ section goes further than most single‑channel controllers, by offering dedicated controls for each aspect of the Cubase four‑band EQ. The buttons also light up when active, as they do on the Cubase mixer, which makes their functions even easier to remember. There are two further buttons to step through the available channels, and as you'd expect, all the current settings, including the fader position, update as you step between channels. On the left is the Channel section, which mirrors the main controls found on every Cubase and Nuendo channel, namely, fader, pan, and buttons for mute, solo, automation read and write, monitoring, record enable, edit channel, and edit instrument - all of which have identical markings to their software mixer counterparts. The CC1221 front panel is divided into three. Like the MR816 series audio interfaces reviewed in the November 2008 issue of SOS, it also features what Steinberg call 'Advanced Integration' with Cubase and Nuendo 4 applications. This is the format chosen by Steinberg for their new USB‑powered CC121 controller, which features an elegant but rugged all‑metal case (72 x 185 x 284mm), a total of 15 rotary encoders, 30 mostly illuminated push-buttons, and a single 100mm long‑throw motorised fader. ![]() As its name suggests, it provides a set of controls dedicated to one channel of your sequencer's virtual mixing desk, but you can step from channel to channel at will. Sitting neatly in the middle is the single‑channel controller, which needn't take up much space on your desk. MIDI Controllers provide the missing link between hardware mixing desks and software interfaces, and now come in many sizes and shapes to suit different users, from multi‑channel monsters worthy of an appearance in Star Trek, to the now almost obligatory clutch of knobs found on even the smallest of music keyboards. Steinberg's CC121 controller is, as you might expect, designed to work seamlessly with their DAW software - so is this the perfect companion to Cubase and Nuendo? ![]()
