Houston
The VST Studio Controller
Houston is a MIDI/USB remote controller specifically engineered for Steinberg’s VST engine. Its operating system is designed for total hands-on mixing within Cubase VST and NUENDO, without having to use the mouse or computer keyboard. It provides access to practically every parameter available in the audio engine. Houston is designed so that all basic parameters are displayed with a single button push: This makes Houston extremely fast and flexible!

But also parameters for VST audio effects and VST Instruments can be displayed, edited and automated from the Houston’s controls - additionally Houston has the potential to fully control the MIDI Track Mixer and supports the Cubase VST mixer views and window sets. It is possible to open and close windows remotely, and to change the currently addressed set of channels; these can be any of the VST audio channels regardless of whether they are audio, group or synthesizer channels. Houston is the ultimate controller for Steinberg’s virtual studio.
