Get to know them!

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!

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.
