Each small white button, when pressed, acts as a ‘BYPASS’ toggle function.
Each dial increases the value when turning clockwise, & decreases the value when turning anti-clockwise.
In addition, each dial
also acts as a push button, when pressed, it will send a preset value applicable to the function you are editing.
The Mobi One Surface Controller is mapped to be as close as possible to the Cubase Edit Screen.
Every dial & button has been placed in a logical order, to help you take your Cubase sessions to the next level.
MODE 1 makes use of the most commonly used features in the Cubase Edit Window :
Pre Section.
Noise Gate.
Standard Compressor
All 4 parts of the EQ.
Saturation.
With 34 dials, & a total of 47 buttons, the fully customisable Primary Controller will bring your Cubase / Nuendo projects to life.
MODE 1 OPERATION
In this section, we will look at the overall controls and basic functions of the OPERATION CONTROLS as depicted in this image.
This section has universal functions across all MODES & should not be customised.
The MODE function, allows the user to select a bank of pre-sets, either pre loaded or customised by the user. All pre-sets are configured within the Cubase Studio Setup, Generic Remote pages, or if using Cubase V12 onwards, also using the MIDI Remote feature.
​
MODE 1 is the default selection.
When in MODE 1, the Mobi One controller acts as described on the top panel markings.
There are six modes to choose from, five of which are customisable.*
​
​
MODE 1 : Standard use of controls in the Cubase Edit Windows (Rack, Pre & EQ ).
MODE 2: Extra functionality of Cubase Rack functions & is partially customisable.
MODE 3: Further extra functionality of Cubase Rack functions & is partially customisable.
MODES 4, 5 & 6 are fully customisable within Cubase, for example, to use to control stock & third party plug-ins.​
* It is recommended that MODE 1 is not customised, as this would impair the functionality when in standard use.
Turning the dial changes the selected track number,
The maximum range of selectable tracks is track 1 to track 200.*
A short single press of the dial button, puts the controller into JUMPMODE. The amber LED above the dial will light up.
JUMPMODE allows the user to jump up or down the tracklist in increments of 10.
Exit JUMPMODE with a short single press.
A long single press of the dial button, will ‘JUMP TO ZERO’: If track >= 101 then track will jump to 100. If track <=100 then track will jump to 0.
When saving your Cubase project, the selected track number is recorded, and will appear as you left it, when reloading the project.
* The controller functions will still operate normally on tracks above 200, but they must be manually selected with the mouse
​
A single short press, will toggle between FAST MODE & DETAILED MODE, changing the speed of control of each dial as it is turned.
The default is FAST MODE.
The LED above the button will be lit when in FAST MODE
​
A single short press, will activate each function in the Transport Section, From left to right;
BACK ONE MARKER
LOOP
RECORD
PLAY / STOP
FORWARD ONE MARKER
An animated LED will light up corresponding with each key pressed.
A single long press of the BACK ONE MARKER Key, will return your project to the beginning of the time line.
The LOOP function status is recorded when saving your project, & will be shown as the saved status when reloading the project.
A short single press of the dial button, will toggle between CONTROL ROOM VOLUME, & HEADPHONES VOLUME.
Turning the dial clockwise increases the volume.
Turning the dial anti-clockwise decreases the volume.
NOTE: Cubase Audio Connections must be set up as a Control Room, with at least one set of monitors, and one set of headphones to utilise this feature. Please also note that the Control Room feature is currently only available in the Pro version of Cubase.
A short single press activates the following:
UNMUTE ALL.
UNSOLO ALL.

MUTE .
SOLO.
A short single press of the PAN dial, will centralise the track in the PAN field.*
A short single press of the VOL dial, will set the VOLUME to 0db.*
​
​
* Because of the manner in which the base code of the Generic Remote is applied within Cubase, pressing the Pan or Vol Dial will return the settings to values close to zero. This issue does not occur when using the Cubase V12 MIDI Remote template.
