Example of use | The Yamaha CC1 in a studio environment
Greater control over recording, mixing and streaming in a compact workflow controller
The Yamaha CC1 is a compact USB controller for anyone who wants to produce, record or stream music, or juggle multiple creative workflows. It is clearly aimed at musicians, producers and content creators who want to work faster and prefer to use physical controls rather than clicking through menus with a mouse.
A controller that adapts to your workflow
At the heart of the Yamaha CC1 is the idea of bringing together different tasks on a single, clear interface. Whether it’s DAW control, streaming software or video editing, the CC1 can be flexibly configured and grows with your needs. Using the Yamaha Control Centre software, youcan assignbuttons, controls and functions in a way that makes sense for your day-to-day work in the studio or at your computer. Profiles can be saved and switched at the touch of a button, which is particularly handy when you’re switching back and forth between music production and streaming.
Motorised faders and controls with a genuine studio feel
A real highlight is the motorised 100 mm fader with touch sensor. Anyone who has ever worked with a professional mixing desk will recognise this feel. The fader follows the movements of your DAW, responds precisely to automation and feels pleasantly controlled. This is complemented by several multifunction controls and the AI Knob, which allows you to control parameters directly under the mouse pointer or within the current project. This noticeably speeds up typical tasks such as adjusting volume, pan or plug-in settings.
LCD buttons for DAW, streaming and more
The top panel features twelve backlit LCD buttons that show you exactly what’s happening at any given moment. Functions, status indicators and icons are clearly visible, so you never have to guess what a button does. The CC1 is compatible with Elgato Stream Deck software, allowing you to integrate not only music software but also OBS, streaming platforms and everyday computer functions. This quickly turns the controller into the control centre for your entire setup.
Seamless integration into modern studios
The Yamaha CC1 integrates particularly well into set-ups using Cubase or Nuendo, but also works with many other DAWs as well as streaming and video software. The connection is via USB-C, and the power supply can be further secured if required. A pedal socket allows you to connect a footswitch or expression pedal, which is particularly useful when recording or performing live.
Compact, well-designed and ready for long sessions
Despite its many features, the CC1 remains pleasantly compact and takes up very little space on your desk. The included stand ensures an ergonomic angle, whether you’re sitting in the studio or streaming from your computer.
A tool for modern musicians and creators
The Yamaha CC1 is neither a pure DAW controller nor a traditional stream deck, but a clever combination of both. It’s aimed at anyone who takes music production, streaming and content creation seriously and wants to significantly simplify their workflow. Less clicking, more doing, more control over sound, software and performance. That’s exactly what this controller is built for.
The stand offers three different tilt angles, allowing the CC1 to be flexibly adapted to studio work and streaming setups.
