Remote control Cubase from a mobile device/web page.
You could actually control any Windows application that accepts keyboard input, ymmv.
# bun dislikes some deps
npm i
# For the dotnet version:
bun run build:dotnet
bun run start:dotnet
# For the JS version:
bun run build
bun run start
In both cases, the system tray (by the clock) will now show an icon for MyRemote - right-click and either select to scan the QR code, or select Open to view MyRemote in your web browser so you can copy the address to your mobile device.
For security reasons, your Cubase must be in the foreground to receive commands.
Or use the Windows installer.
System tray:
Main interface:
Editor:
Editing:
Creates a Windows' system tray icon that can provide a URL for a webpage that can send key commands to Cubase, or any other Windows application.
Click 'edit' in the top right-hand corner to add, edited, and re-arranged buttons - changes are preserved between page loads, and can also be saved to and loaded from file.
Remember to check/update your Cubase key commands!
Configure the regex in the .env file.
There is a Svelte Typescript version, and a dotnet version.
The former relies upon robot.js and thus a binary compiled for your specific
version of Node.
The latter requires elevated privelages to listen to all network interfaces. This is performed by the installer if you use it:
# As admin:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8223/ user=Everyone
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8224/ user=Everyone
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MyRemote" protocol=TCP dir=in localport=8223 action=allow
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="MyRemote" protocol=TCP dir=in localport=8224 action=allow
Build: vite -> HTML/JS/CSS bundle
Sytem tray HTTP server -> HTML/JS/CSS bundle
HTML/JS/CSS bundle -> System Tray WS server
System Tray WS server -> Key combination -> Target App
bun run build:dotnet
That will build the vite bundle, copy assets to the dotnet directory, run the dotnet release build, after which a tar ball can be created:
bun run bundle
bun run start # Starts the robot-js and outputs a URL
bun run dev # Starts the Vite dev server
start will output the remote's full URL to the console.
- Persisting custom configuration
- Build the installer with GitHub Actions
- For dev, have Vite open the full URL
- Parse a Cubase XML
- Expose the regex used to select Cubase
- Maybe add options to launch programs/do other things on the host PC
