This layout controls Cubase parameters in three ways:

1. Through the Generic Remote,
2. Through the Quick Controls, and
3. Through Midi CCs and Notes, which can be recorded to any MIDI channel directly.

To use this layout:

1. Install TouchOSC app on you tablet and install the TouchOSC bridge on your computer.
2. Establish a connection between your iPad and the computer.
3. Download the layout files . (Download Here).
4. Put the .touchosc file on your device.
5. Import the xml files into Cubase. There are two files, one for the quick controls and one for the generic remote.

All files are fully editable. if you see a problem (such as a repeated CC# or a wrong assignment), or need to change something, please edit the related parameters.
A few things such as the Master fader and meters may need to be re-connected.

Here are the images of this layout:

2011 was a wonderful year for us. Our Australian tour was a great success.
We recorded Melbourne concert (September 25, 2011) and now Plasma Records is releasing it worldwide except Moviebox is distributing it in the UK and Europe.
The audio is already out, the video will follow shortly.
Here is a song from this upcoming release which coincidentally is very appropriate for this occasion. Enjoy!
May your 2012 will be full of excitement and happiness.
