Yamaha CC1 Control Surface

The Yamaha CC1 is a compact, USB-powered control surface designed to streamline modern, PC-based creative workflows. With a touch-sensitive motorised fader, AI knob, multi-function encoders and 12 customisable LCD keys, it gives producers, streamers and content creators fast, hands-on control over DAWs, streaming platforms and everyday applications. Seamless integration with Steinberg, Elgato and OBS ecosystems means you can tailor the CC1 to your exact setup and keep your focus on performance and creativity.

Developed for today’s increasingly hybrid production world, the CC1 slots effortlessly into studios, streaming rigs and mobile setups alike. Whether you are mixing music in Cubase, editing audio for video, running a podcast, or managing a live stream, the CC1 replaces endless mouse clicks with intuitive, tactile control. Its compact footprint makes it easy to position right where you need it, while USB Type-C connectivity and bus power keep cabling simple and clutter to a minimum.

At the heart of the CC1 is a 100 mm touch-sensitive motorised fader with 10-bit resolution, giving you the precision and feel you would expect from a professional console. Paired with the AI knob and four multi-function knobs, you can ride levels, tweak plug-ins and navigate complex sessions with ease. Dedicated transport controls and DAW-focused buttons put essential functions at your fingertips, speeding up everyday tasks like recording, editing and automation.

Customisation is handled via Yamaha’s Control Center software, where you can assign functions, build profiles and switch between them depending on the project. The 12 LCD keys are fully assignable and support unlimited banks, so you can create deep, multi-layered control sets for different DAWs, streaming layouts or even non-audio applications. Integration with Elgato’s Stream Deck software further expands what the CC1 can do, letting you trigger macros, scenes and commands across a huge range of software.

Hands-on Control for Modern Creators

The CC1 has been designed to support everyone from aspiring producers to seasoned professionals working in PC-based environments. By combining a motorised fader, encoders, transport controls and LCD keys in a single compact unit, it gives you a central command hub for music production, streaming, video editing and more. This tactile approach helps you work faster and more musically, without getting lost in menus.

Deep Integration with Leading Software Ecosystems

Yamaha have built the CC1 to integrate smoothly with Yamaha, Steinberg and Elgato ecosystems, with ongoing updates planned to expand compatibility even further. Out of the box it works naturally with Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, and supports Avid Pro Tools, while collaboration with Elgato and OBS Studio makes it ideal for streamers and content creators. This evolving platform approach means your CC1 can grow alongside your software and workflow.

Powerful Customisation via Control Center and Stream Deck

Using the dedicated Control Center software, you can assign functions to every control on the CC1 and save them as profiles for different tasks or applications. The 12 assignable LCD keys with unlimited banks can also be configured through Elgato’s Stream Deck software, giving you an enormous amount of flexibility. From DAW shortcuts and plug-in controls to scene changes, app launches and more, you can shape the CC1 around exactly how you like to work.

Complete Software Support for Production and Streaming

The CC1 is supported by a suite of Steinberg software, including Cubase AI for full music production and the freely available MixKey mixer for streaming and content creation. Together they provide a powerful starting point for new users, while also giving experienced creators extra tools to expand into new formats such as live streaming, podcasts or hybrid live performances. With Yamaha’s wider range of microphones, headphones and speakers, the CC1 can sit at the centre of a scalable, professional setup.
