Using Cubase vst/32 with DSP Factory by Steinberg - HTML preview

Remote Controlling the DSP Factory Mixer

It is possible to use a Yamaha 01V digital mixer to remote control the DSP Factory mixer in Cubase VST. This is done using the VST Remote function.

Setting Up

P Make sure to read the section about the VST Remote function in the main manual as well, for general information about remote control in Cubase VST.

1. Connect the 01V to your MIDI Interface.
The mixer should be connected “both ways” to allow feedback to indicators and motorized faders.

2. Make the following settings on the 01V (see the 01V manual for details):
• Enable MIDI Parameter Change Receive and Transmit.
• Disable MIDI Control Change Receive and Transmit.
• Set Device ID / MIDI Channel Receive to “1”.

• Set the 01V to “Local Control Off”.
This ensures that you don’t change the internal settings on the 01V instead of the DSP Factory parameters.

3. In Cubase VST, pull down the Options menu and select VST Remote from the Audio Setup submenu.
The VST Remote dialog appears.

4. Pull down the Remote pop-up menu and select “Yamaha 01v”.
5. Pull down the Input pop-up menu and select the MIDI Input to which the 01v is connected.
6. Pull down the Output pop-up menu and select the MIDI Output that is connected to the 01v.
7. Click OK to close the dialog.

 

You are now ready to use 01v as a remote control unit.

About the Layouts

As when you are using the 01V to control the VST mixer parameters, there are two different “Layouts” for controlling the DSP Factory Mixer in Cubase VST (there are also two Layouts for controlling the VST Mixer, as described in the main documentation). Which channels on the 01V control which DS-channels in Cubase VST, depends on the selected Layout. However, the controllable parameters for each “channel strip” are the same in each layout (see below).

• You switch between the Layouts by pressing the Memory button on the 01V panel. Page 1 displays VST Layout 1, page 2 VST Layout 2, page 3 DSP Factory Layout 1 and page 4 DSP Factory Layout 2.
