The top row buttons - feature button and which will increment/decrement through your VSTi when setting up to control external VSTi. These include selecting the function for the DATA WHEEL/AI KNOB, Controlling external VST instruments, activating Automation, a Delete function. The items written below the bottom row of buttons (9-16) with the white background are the DAW REMOTE functions. In addition to a control template for Cubase, you will find templates for Sonar, Digital Performer and Logic. At that point the front panel buttons are retasked to control functions of the selected DAW. REMOTE mode is activated on the MX by pressing the button. This is something you'll really appreciate later! This is very useful when you are trying to concentrate on playing and don't want to have to CLICK and then find a place to put the mouse down during the count-in – you simply want to get ready to play. But for now, lets just state that the REMOTE DEVICES setup here will allow you to use the front panel of your MX to control functions within Cubase. You will notice that in the screen shot (above), I have additionally assigned some COMMANDS to the Cubase USER COMMANDS Buttons. These must be kept completely separated from our musical performance commands. You can understand that above we setup PORT 1 for communication of MIDI data to be recorded to a MIDI Track (Note-ons, Controller movements, Tempo, etc.), now we are setting a separate Port on which to communicate Remote Control commands. Here you can see that USB Port #2 is setup for Remote Control communication between the MX and Cubase. Move the cursor down to the REMOTE DEVICES folder. MIDI Port 5, is for the MX REMOTE EDITOR (which lets you create custom control templates for VSTi) MIDI Port 3, is for any external device connected to the MIDI jacks while you are setup for USB MIDI Port 2, as we will discuss next, is for Remote Control functions. MIDI Port 1 – is always for musical performance events like note-ons, controllers, and tempo rather it reflects the current status of your MIDI Ports – whether they are in use or not. You do not make a setting in this column. The column labeled "STATE" is a status report of what is being used currently. Port 3 is the so-called MIDI THRU port as any device connected will send its data through the MX directly to the computer via PORT 3.

You then would mark "Yamaha MX49/MX61 Port 3". If you are using an alternate MIDI controller you can connect it to the MX via its 5-pin MIDI jack. This will make the MX the default input device for recording data to MIDI Tracks within Cubase. The column labeled "In 'All MIDI Inputs'" should have the "Yamaha MX49/MX61 Port 1" marked with an 'x'. Note: If you have not downloaded and installed your MX items yet or if you don't know what to download, please go to this article before proceeding here: MX49/MX61 and your ComputerĭEVICES > DEVICE SETUP > MIDI > MIDI PORT SETUP
#Cubase macos driver#
Shown, above, is the ASIO Driver select screen on a Mac OSX. This is very convenient when more than one of your devices can act as an audio interface.
#Cubase macos drivers#
That is, you can switch drivers without having to close down and re-launch Cubase.

Cubase, unlike many DAWs, allows you to "hot swap" ASIO drivers mid-Project. If you have multiple ASIO audio drivers installed on your computer, you may see a screen that allows you to select which driver you wish to use.
