Steinberg CI2+ Advanced Integration USB Studio

Take advantage of massive audio tools, at home, in the rehearsal room, or
wherever.




Hardware most skillfully meets software by combining the
best of two worlds with the CI2+ Advanced Integration USB studio and Cubase
Essential 5, the dedicated version of Cubase 5. As the name implies, the CI2+
houses two major functions. There's the two-channel XLR combo interface equipped
with two sophisticated microphone preamps and phantom power, one HI-Z for direct
guitar input and a footswitch connector for Interactive Recording. This is
seconded by the controller section featuring the innovative AI Knob that
provides intuitive control due to seamless integration into Cubase. Together
with Cubase Essential 5, CI2+ allows you to take full advantage of a massive
range of audio tools, at home, in the rehearsal room or wherever required.


Instant plug and play with "AI Ready" LED
CI2+
features full plug-and-play support, so there's no need to add the parameters to
Cubase, only the easy, one-step installation of a USB device. Once the CI2+ has
been installed, Cubase detects the launched device and automatically embeds the
CI2+ into the Cubase production environment. Visual feedback is provided through
the "AI Ready" LED. When it lights up, CI2+ is ready to assume control. But
instant plug and play is just one of the many advantages CI2+ has to offer as a
fully integrated controller of Cubase, forming one exhilaratingly powerful
hardware/software production system.

Project Assistant

The Project Assistant provides a wealth of ready-made templates for
different styles and scopes like recording, mixing, producing and mastering. The
templates contain the number of channels, effects, dynamics, amp simulators and
channel inserts — tailored to your particular needs. Creating customized user
templates and integrating those into the Launch browser makes recording with a
DAW software and audio interface just that easy: Start up Cubase Essential 5,
hit the AI Knob and scroll down the list of provided templates. The chosen
template is selected by pushing the AI Knob a second time. A new project is
created for you with the necessary number of tracks, audio input and output
routings, all effects, amp simulator, sounds and much more. Especially for CI2+,
new plug-ins like the AmpSimulator and the ToneBooster have been added to Cubase
Essential 5. The guitar is simply plugged into the input of the CI2+ and you can
start creating songs in a jiffy. Thanks to this assistant, initializing a Cubase
Project from scratch even saves professionals a lot of time — and as we all
know, time is money.

Browse Function
The Browse
function in Cubase helps you in many different ways. The intelligent browsing
system focuses on available files or sounds based on where you are currently in
the production process. By using the AI Knob on the CI2+ to select one of many
project templates, track presets and other presets, there's no more excuse for
using the mouse extensively. The Browse function also allows you to listen in on
samples while browsing, without having to load them first. As you see, CI2+
supports you throughout the entire project.

Interactive
Recording
The Interactive Recording functionality allows a sequence
of up to six transport functions. This sequence can be started and operated with
the optional footswitch or the Action Pad on the CI2+, letting you control
Cubase Essential 5 hands free while playing an instrument and simultaneously
getting a visual feedback from the Action panel in Cubase.

AI
Knob
One of the most innovative features of CI2+ is the
revolutionary AI Knob, which is a "point and control" precision controller.
Rather than attempting to replace traditional mouse pointing devices, the AI
Knob harnesses the flexibility of a computer mouse to offer unprecedented speed
when editing parameters and adjusting settings. The computer mouse is simply
moved over the parameter, which is then automatically placed under full
precision control through the AI Knob, with no need to make any additional
settings in Cubase, any additional software module or on the interface itself.
The parameter can be locked to the AI Knob to retain control when the mouse is
moved elsewhere onscreen. The AI Knob of the CI2+ controls all Cubase mixing
parameters plus VST3 and VST2 plug-ins. On the CI2+, you will find an enhanced
version of the AI Knob featured on the CC121 Advanced Integration controller.
The AI Knob on the CI2+ is also a push encoder that enables new enhanced
functionality.

The sequences can either be chosen from a list of
templates or be customized by you. The Interactive Recording function provides
full freedom of movement, doing away with mouse operation in specific situations
and, more importantly, helps to maintain the creative flow. You can operate this
functionality by the Action Pad or with the optional footswitch Yamaha FC5.


Transport control functionality
The buttons "Next",
"Previous", "Play/Stop" and "Rec" are additional buttons for transport control
of Cubase. The "Previous" button moves the project cursor on Cubase to the
previous marker position. When the browse mode is active the "Previous" button
moves the cursor to the previous column. Holding down this button starts fast
rewind. The "Next" button moves the project cursor on Cubase to the next marker
position. When the browse mode is active the "Next" button moves the cursor to
the next column. Holding down the button starts fast forward. Pressing the
"Previous" button and the "Next" button simultaneously enables or disables the
Cycle function on Cubase. The "Rec" button starts the recording in Cubase. The
"Play/Stop" button alternately executes Play or Stop on Cubase. Double-clicking
this button returns the project cursor on Cubase to the start position.


Included Software
With an easy, intuitive approach
to composing, recording, editing and mixing, Cubase Essential 5 is your gateway
to the world of Cubase. With an easy, intuitive approach to composing,
recording, editing and mixing, Cubase Essential 5 is your gateway to the world
of Cubase. Cubase Essential 5 shines with the same user interface and
award-winning audio engine as the Steinberg Cubase 5 advanced music production
system used by countless professionals around the globe. So whether you're
composing songs at home, recording your band in the rehearsal room or remixing
the latest hip-hop and dance tracks on a laptop while on the move: Cubase
Essential 5 combines premium virtual instruments, outstanding audio and MIDI VST
effects with a vast range of proven editing and sequencing tools while being
extremely easy to use.

USB-powered
The CI2+ is
powered by the USB technology on one's computer. This allows for simply
connecting the CI2+ to a USB port. Even the +48 V phantom power for two
microphones doesn't require an additional power supply.

The optional mic
stand adapter BMS-10A (sold separately) lets you attach the CI2+ to a microphone
stand and adjust it to the position that suits him or her best.
