Installing and Updating C_brains (Cubase 11 and Earlier)

C_brains ships as a standard .jzml file and can be installed like any other MK Lemur controller. If you are new to using MK Lemur controllers, check our main article Installing MK Lemur Controllers for first steps.

For instructions on how to update to a new version, see Software Updates: Transferring Settings to a New Version.

  1. Quit Cubase.
  2. Drag the C_brains Command Set folder into Cubase’s Logical Edit presets folder.

Tip #1: If the Library folder is hidden, click on “Go’ in the Finder menu bar, then hold down the alt key to reveal the Library folder.

Tip #2: Some installations of Cubase might not create a Logical Edit folder. Just create a folder named Logical Edit f it doesn’t exist.

4. Block Cubase from recording C_brains and MKConnect’s output on your tracks
