HyperControl for Cubase

What is HyperControl?

HyperControl is a powerful new technology that automatically maps your Axiom Pro controls (i.e., knobs, buttons, sliders

, etc.) to the

on-screen controls of Cubase and all of its VST/AU plug-ins and virtual instruments. This helps you make music more quickly since

you no longer have to perform the tedious and time-consuming task of assigning MIDI controls.

Furthermore, since HyperControl is a two-way communication protocol, your Axiom Pro hardware and Cubase always remain

synchronized with each other. For example, if a knob is turned on Axiom Pro, its corresponding knob in Cubase will update.

Alternatively, if an on-screen knob is turned within Cubase (using the mouse), the corresponding knob position of Axiom Pro (as

shown on the LCD display) updates as well. If a new instrument (or a different preset within the same instrument) is loaded, the

parameter names and various button, knob, and slider positions automatically update on the Axiom Pro display. This makes Axiom Pro

feel like a “dedicated” hardware controller since the knobs and LCD screen are “tightly” integrated with Cubase and always reﬂect

what is currently happening within your software.

Finally, HyperControl allows for more than just MIDI data to be sent from Axiom Pro—ASCII keystrokes can also be sent, emulating

Cubase keyboard shortcuts. This allows the controller to have “deep” integration into Cubase, and allows things like zooming,

markers, copy, undo and many other features to be controlled right from Axiom Pro. This minimizes the amount of time you must

spend using a mouse to control your software.

In short, these features let you use Cubase more intuitively and give you more “hands on” control of your software to inspire your

creativity.
