Setting up Cubase VST/Nuendo to use the EZbus as a Software Control
Surface
Current Macintosh Operating Systems do not support MIDI via USB. To use
the EZbus control surface functions, you need to set the EZbus USB Configuration
(found in the EZbus System menu) to "Audio Only," and connect the EZbus MIDI
2 Output to a Macintosh MIDI interface. MIDI via USB is set to be implemented
in the next release of the Apple Mac OS.
Setting Up Nuendo to use the EZbus as a software control surface
Within Nuendo go to Devices > Device Setup. Click the tab labeled
Add/Remove. Select Generic Remote and click ADD.
Select the tab labeled: Setup. Highlight Generic Remote and then
click the button labeled: Import. Browse the EZbus CD
ROM and select the folder labeled Cubase_Nuendo. Import the *.xml file
labeled: NuendoGenericRemote.xml.
Now that you have
the NuendoGenericRemote.xml file imported, connect the EZbus MIDI 2 Output to your Macintosh MIDI interface
and select your MIDI input and MIDI output within Nuendo.
Download NuendoGenericRemote.xml
In addition to the transport controls (Start, Stop, Play, Rewind,
Fast Forward, Record), most of the functions within the VST/Nuendo Channel Mixer
can be controlled from the EZbus front panel.
To view the Channel Mixer within VST go to Panels > VST Channel Mixer.
To view the Channel Mixer within Nuendo go to Devices > VST Mixer.
Consult the chart below to view the default VST/Nuendo Control Surface
mapping.
