The Steinberg CC121 brings totally integrated tactile control of Steinberg’s Cubase range of production systems, and maintains complete focus on your production within Cubase. The Ultra-precision Advanced Integration Controller Knob with "point and control" support controls any visual Cubase parameter, internal FX setting or VSTi parameter using mouse pointer selection.

CC121 features full plug and play with Cubase, requiring no additional setup as a controller device. A swift, one-step installation procedure as a USB device is all that’s required. Once the CC121 has been installed, Cubase detects the device when launched, and automatically binds CC121 into the Cubase production environment. To reflect this, the "Cubase Ready" lamp lights up — CC121 is ready to assume control. Instant plug and play is just one of the advantages of CC121 as a fully integrated controller with Cubase, bonding with Cubase to form one exhilaratingly powerful hardware/software production system.

One of the major advantages of the CC121 is the software-hardware-mirroring. In distinction from DAW controllers you’ll find all Cubase controlling functions in hardware exactly mirrored to their software counterpart. You don’t need to learn where you´ve put the functions on your controller. You can work with your Cubase as intuitive as before but with the convenience of a hardware mixer. It´s possible to control all functions with the push of a button. No more necessity for long mouse clicking ways.

Perhaps the most innovative area of CC121 is the revolutionary AI Knob, a "point and control" precision controller. Rather than attempting to replace traditional mouse pointing devices, the AI Knob harnesses the flexibility of a computer mouse to offer unprecedented speed when editing parameters and adjusting settings. The computer mouse is simply moved over the parameter, which is then automatically placed under full precision control through the AI Knob, with no need to make any additional settings in Cubase, any additional software module or on the interface itself. The parameter can be locked to the AI Knob to retain control when the mouse is moved elsewhere onscreen.
