CI2 and Cubase AI5 - Product Guide 20 of 31 Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH – July 2009
7.1.5 AI Knob
AI Knob section
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, the
user will find an enhanced version of the AI Knob featured on the Steinberg CC121 Advanced
Integration Controller. The AI Knob on the CI2 is also a push encoder. That enables new enhanced
functionality like the Project Assistant described later in this document.
7.1.6 USB-powered
The CI2 is powered by the USB technology on one’s computer. This means the user simply connects
the CI2 to a USB port, even the +48V phantom power for two microphones doesn’t require an
additional power supply.
