JL Cooper CS-10

CUBASE SX/SL
4 – 14 JL Cooper CS-10
Specifications
The CS-10 can remote control 32 channels (in roups of 8). The fol-
lowin CS-10 controls will remote control the followin parameters
for each channel strip:
• Fader: volume
• Solo and Mute: solo and mute
• Sel: select channel for editin
The followin parameters can be remote controlled for each selected
channel usin the six rotary knobs on the CS-10:
• The CS-10 function keys 1 - 4 are used to select channels 1 - 32 in
roups of 8.
Function key 1 selects channels 1 - 8, function key 2 selects channels 9 - 16, and so
on.
• If you hold down the function key “Shift” and then move a fader, the
two indicators beside the fader will indicate whether the fader position
is below or above the current fader level in Cubase SX/SL.
If the upper indicator is lit, the fader position on the panel is above the fader level in
Cubase SX/SL and vice versa. When both indicators are dark, the fader positions are
matched for that channel.
• The CS-10 Play, Stop, Record, Rewind and Fast Forward transport
controls control the equivalent functions in Cubase SX/SL.
