Cubase device panels
Device Panels (see below) Allows you to create virtual control panels for your MIDI hardware, As much as you can create Quick Control panels for your virtual gear. Rolling your own Device Panels is pretty easy, too. Cubase provides plenty of tools to use, including all the knobs, faders and buttons you'd need to create your own virtual hardware panels.
A carefully crafted panel will allow full automation of MIDI CC and SysEx parameters.
