Computer Music’s first look at Cubase RC for iPhone

We’re fresh from Steinberg’s NAMM press conference, and while the big news was Cubase 5 (more on this later!), the greatest surprise came right at the end of the presentation, with the announcement of Cubase RC, which is an iPhone app for remote control of Cubase.

Cubase RC will run on iPhone or iPod Touch and connects via Wi-Fi. It has two main screens: one for transport and for controlling the arrangement.

Here’s the Transport panel, which will allow you to stop and start playback, arm recording, tinker with markers, and turn on and off the metronome and Cycle functions:The other main screen, the Arranger, will enable you to create a live performance by triggering sections of your song, as defined in a Cubase Arranger Track. We wonder if it’ll be possible to control Sequel in this manner too. Anyways, here’s how it looks:

Cubase RC is for iPhone and iPod Touch, is compatible with PC and Mac, and it’ll be free when it’s released in the 2nd quarter of this year.
