Steinberg Media Technologies has announced the release of its Cubase iC remote controller application, which runs on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch products. Cubase iC provides comprehensive control for Steinberg's Cubase and Cubase Studio 5.0.1 Music Production Systems and is now available free of charge exclusively through the Apple iTunes Store.

"This attractive application is a service to all our Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5 customers who own an iPhone or iPod Touch. Cubase iC is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to use Cubase while not in front of the computer, for example when using Cubase live on stage or playing and recording an instrument at the same time," comments Helge Vogt, Steinberg's Product Marketing Manager for Cubase. "Cubase iC supports a large range of functions, including comprehensive transport control, as well as the unique Cubase Arranger functionality, allowing iPhone and iPod Touch owners to play segments of a production live, display the song position and chain status and use the Jump control to skip to a predefined song section," Vogt continues.

Cubase iC is based on the powerful Steinberg Kernel Interface (SKI) technology for seamless integration into the Cubase software core. Cubase iC controls Cubase 5.0.1 and Cubase Studio 5.0.1 running on both Mac OS X and Windows platforms.

The pre-release version of Cubase iC was known as Cubase RC.
