Yamaha presents the CC1, a USB controller combining DAW controls, a 100 mm motorized fader, and twelve LCD keys with Stream Deck integration.
Yamaha has introduced the CC1, a compact USB controller designed to merge control options for music software and streaming setups. The unit occupies a desk footprint comparable to an A5 sheet, measuring 144 by 61 by 234 millimeters with a weight of 1.1 kilograms.
Hardware and controls
The screwed chassis is built from matte black metal and features a rounded front edge. The upper section is slightly angled, and an attachable foot is included for additional elevation. For channel adjustments, the device incorporates a touch-sensitive motorized fader with a 100 mm throw. Additional hardware controls include buttons for mute, solo, and record-ready, alongside a transport section and a large jog wheel.
LCD keys and configuration
Positioned above the channel section are twelve freely configurable LCD keys accompanied by four multifunction knobs. In total, six encoders are integrated. Using the Control Center software, users can configure profiles and assign actions via drag-and-drop. The unit supports Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools via HUI, MIDI commands, as well as Yamaha's MGX mixers and URX interfaces.

Through SDLink, the LCD buttons connect directly with Elgato's Stream Deck platform. Included with the controller are a USB-C cable, the screw-on stand, and a Cubase AI license card.
