HINT
This instrument features Control Templates for remote control of popular VSTi instruments. These Control
Templates let you assign the appropriate functions for your favorite VSTi to Knobs [A] – [D] on the instrument.
When using Cubase, switching the VSTi on the Cubase changes to the appropriate Control Template on the
instrument. When using other DAW software than Cubase, switching the VSTi on the DAW software does not affect
the Control Template on the instrument. You should set the appropriate Control Template manually to match the
VSTi on the DAW software. For settings of the Remote mode on the instrument, see
.
