Applies to SL MKIII and Cubase
Cubase is a DAW developed by Steinberg. Your SL MKIII can be used to control aspects of Cubase as a HUI device. This offers control of transport, volume faders, mutes, solos, pans and sends.
Cubase has changed over the years both visually and in its feature set. Depending on the version you are using, some features may not be present and may look different.
The SL MKIII does not feature a dedicated control script for Cubase, so it will only work as a HUI device. Starting in Cubase 12, Steinberg introduced the MIDI Remote Editor that allows for custom integration with Cubase controls. For more information on this, please see:
