Control Effects in Cubase Like Never Before!

The modular Steinberg CMC-QC "quick controller" makes taking hold of effects parameters in Cubase and Nuendo easy! Despite its small footprint, the CMC-QC packs a ton of functions in an ergonomic layout. Eight easily assignable knobs give you perfect hands-on control of your plug-ins, and custom software makes setting up the CMC-QC super easy. What's more, the entire CMC system is completely modular, so you can create the ultimate custom Cubase control surface, by combining your Steinberg CMC-QC with other CMC controllers.

Steinberg CMC-QC Modular Cubase Effects Controller at a Glance:
  • Three dedicated working modes
  • Part of a complete modular Cubase controller system
  • Plug-and-play Steinberg software integration

Three dedicated working modes
Select from EQ mode, MIDI mode, or Quick Control mode, and get exactly the control you need over Cubase and Nuendo. Thanks to its three modes, the CMC-QC is incredibly easy to use. EQ mode lets you use the CMC-QC to grab hold of your software's Channel EQ controls. MIDI mode turns the CMC-QC into a conventional MIDI control surface, for easy integration into any plug-in or hardware MIDI device connected to Cubase. Finally, Quick Control mode lets you get creative by selecting any parameter in Cubase and instantly assign it to the knob of your choice. And thanks to the included CMC-QC Editor software, setting up custom configurations is incredibly easy!

Part of a complete modular Cubase controller system
The CMC-QC is one of six USB controller designed by Steinberg to specifically integrate with Cubase and Nuendo software. What's more, this system is completely modular, allowing you to build your own custom control surface with exactly the hands-on controls you want, no matter how many channels you need to cover. And whether you're just starting to build your system, or you're adding on to your CMC system, you'll love the convenience and ease of use the CMC-QC gives you.

Plug-and-play Steinberg software integration
Like the rest of the CMC series controllers, the CMC-QC integrates seamlessly with Steinberg's Cubase or Nuendo production software. The 1-step installation process is incredibly simple. No lengthy installation process, confusing settings, or hard to navigate control panels - the CMS-QC gives you true plug-and-play convenience. What's more, every CMC controller features colored controls with icons that mirror Cubase, so integrating your new CMC-QC into your Cubase rig is completely intuitive.

  • Flexible rotary encoder controller for Steinberg's Cubase and Nuendo software
  • Quick Control mode for assigning 8 illuminated rotary encoders to software parameters
  • EQ mode lets 8 rotary encoders tweak channel EQ parameters
  • MIDI mode for assigning any MIDI control number to 8 rotary encoders by CMC-QC editor software

  • Combines seamlessly with other CMC series controllers, allowing you to create a custom control surface that best meets your needs

  • Ergonomic design allows you to work comfortably, placing the controls you need right at your fingertips
  • Illuminated, high-resolution touch controls provide detailed visual feedback
  • Small enough to fit in your pocket, in front of your keyboard or laptop, or on the top panel of your master keyboard controller
  • User-assignable functions give you additional flexibility and tweaking options
  • USB bus power requires no additional power supply

I am very happy with the product and service I received. I have yet to experience such personalized service from audio/music companies in my hometown. I will certainly make more purchases from Sweetwater again. If you have the product I need, I will purchase it from Sweetwater. The service is exceptional. I have never been treated with such thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly service from any of the music companies located in Saint Louis, MO.

Game Changer

by Fred Freda from New Jersey

Music Background: Producer Engineer
I have been using Cubase since I began using a DAW six years ago. I made the decision based on the recent purchase of Steinberg by Yamaha thinking that the combination of these two companies had to b... read more [+]e a winner, it was. If you own Cubase you have to get this control. I have both a euphonic MC control and MC mix and dollar for dollar there is no comparison. This simple unit has advanced my workflow in ways that I could only dream of in the past, less mousing around and more intuitive decisions for sure. I am able to make micro adjustments on any parameter I choose because of the fine detail that the 8 knobs provide and changing controllers is a snap using the learn function or direct assignment in the Cubase Quick Control tab. The eight user assignable function keys are also a game changer in keeping my workflow on track no matter what I am focosing on at the time. This unit is Great. close [-]
