Important Update for Windows Users
The
Cubase MIDI Remote integration is currently available for Mac-only due to unforeseen issues on Windows. We’re actively investigating the cause and are committed to bringing this functionality to Windows users in a future MetaGrid Pro update. In the meantime Cubase users can use our older integration based on Generic Remote devices.

Take Control of Cubase and Nuendo Like Never Before

MetaGrid Pro brings next-level Cubase control through a tight integration with Steinberg’s MIDI Remote API and our versatile, customizable grid objects. With super-customizable faders, responsive toggle switches, and our innovative gesture pads, you can interact with Cubase in a fluid, intuitive way.

Real-Time, Bi-Directional Communication

MetaGrid Pro’s deep integration with Cubase’s MIDI Remote API brings your DAW to life with bi-directional communication. This means you’re always in sync with your session, seeing real-time updates for parameter values, plugin names, and levels directly on your grid. Every adjustment you make on MetaGrid Pro is instantly reflected in Cubase, and vice versa. Stay focused and confident, knowing you’re in complete control.

Full Control Over Channel Parameters

Take command of all essential parameters for the selected channel in Cubase with MetaGrid Pro. Adjust volume, pan, and send levels effortlessly while having real-time visibility of send names and values. Quickly toggle mute and solo states, or manage automation modes directly from your grid. With all these controls at your fingertips, managing your mix becomes faster, more intuitive, and highly efficient.

Instant Access to Channel Inserts

Gain seamless control over channel inserts for the selected track in Cubase. MetaGrid Pro dynamically displays the names of all active inserts, making it simple to identify and select the plugin you need. With one tap, you can view and adjust the parameters assigned to Focus Quick Controls, giving you fast, precise access to the tools you rely on for mixing and sound design.

AI Knob Integration: Enhanced Precision and Customization

With MetaGrid Pro, the AI Knob feature takes customization further by allowing you to assign any Cubase parameter you’re currently hovering over with your mouse directly to a fader on your grid. Once assigned, you can choose to lock the parameter for continuous use, giving you precise, hands-on control over essential elements like send levels, volume, pan, and even internal Cubase parameters.
