Bizarrely, the ruler seems only to show minutes and seconds, and I couldn’t find a way to change this to bars and beats (even if the current project time was displayed in bars and beats), which was slightly annoying. The Project page shows a neat overview of your Project, much like the Overview Line in Cubase, and you can swipe left and right to scroll through the Project - the Project Cursor stays in the middle just like when Stationary Cursors is enabled in Cubase - and you can pinch to zoom in and out horizontally. The current tempo is also there, and tapping this lets you set a new tempo, which you can adjust manually or by tapping the Tap Tempo button, although this only affects the fixed tempo, not the Tempo Track. The current Project Time is displayed, and tapping it alternates between the primary and secondary Project Time Display modes. A transport bar runs along the bottom, and a tool bar is provided at the top with buttons to access settings, help, and to disconnect from the current system. Two of these pages can be visible simultaneously, and you can also have two Key Commands pages on screen at once. IC Pro consists of three control pages: Project, MixConsole, and Key Commands, and each have a corresponding Settings view. In a disconnected state, iC Pro will show a list of systems running Cubase, and you can manually enter your system’s IP address if it doesn’t show up. Once you’ve downloaded SKI Remote, you’ll need to add it as a device in Cubase’s Device setup window, where you have the option of setting up authentication so that a password is required when establishing a connection. The advantage Android users have with this arrangement is that Steinberg offer a 30-day trial version of the SKI Remote so you can try before you buy. For iOS users this is a free download (because you pay £12.99 $16.99 for the app on the App Store), whereas for Android users it’s a purchase of £11.24 $16.99 (because the app is a free download on Google Play or Amazon’s Appstore). Once you’ve downloaded the app - for the purposes of this review, I’m using an iPad Air 2 with Cubase running on Windows - you’ll need to download Steinberg’s SKI Remote for Cubase iC Pro from the company’s web site.
