TIPS
USING YOUR BLUETOOTH CAPABLE SONY CELL PHONE TO CONTROL CUBASE SX.
(Click here to control
ProTools from your phone)
Links
System Requirements:
-
A SonyEricsson Z1010, K700, T610,
T616, Z600, T630 or T68i and probably other bluetooth enabled SonyEricsson
cell phones.
-
A Bluetooth adapter for
your computer
Instructions:
-
Download and install the
PcControl software.
-
Replace the KeyMap.xml
file located in the installation folder with mine.
-
Copy the file
Sony_Bluetooth_Controller.xml into the following folder: C:\Documents and
Settings\(*your windows user account*)\Application Data\Steinberg\Cubase
SX 2\Presets\KeyCommands
-
Launch Cubase and go to
File > Key Commands and under "Presets", choose "Sony Bluetooth
Controller".
-
Launch PcControl, then
right-click on the system tray icon and choose Phone settings >
Auto-Connect.
-
On the phone, a PcControl
menu will pop up. Select "Move Mouse" (don't ask me why it says move
mouse).
-
The phone will have a
screen that says "Windows", which is the keymap for some Windows commands,
so hit the # button on the cell phone to change the keymap to "Cubase".
-
Cubase must be in window/mouse focus.
From here you can use the
program with Cubase. Because many of the default key commands are on
the numeric keyboard, which cannot be used by PcControl, I had to create a
new key command preset for Cubase. Its easy to switch back and
forth. You can do recording using your phone with the Sony Bluetooth
Controller key command preset, then when you're ready to begin editing and
mixing, just change the preset back to default, or your own if you have
one.
