What is in the video

1:39

The Master Console

The whole machine on one surface. Eight channels, the disk, the pads and the mixer sit under your fingers, and every control answers back with haptics.

2:00

ACT and EDIT

Two buttons run the workflow. EDIT is your studio and ACT is your stage. You build the groove in one mode, then you perform it in the other.

2:35

The LCD, Key and Scale

Template, key, tempo and the bar counter, always in view. Pick your key once and everything you play from then on stays in key.

3:03

Arrangement and Automation

Chain your patterns into sections and the set plays itself. Tempo and effect values shift from section to section, so the arrangement breathes without your hands.

3:47

The Disk, Fills and Pads

Every channel is a ring of steps around one disk. Pattern slots run from A to H, with two fills and five performance pads within reach of the same thumb.

4:22

Performance Pads

Hold, throw, filter, riser and gater, shown back to back. Every move is bar quantized, so a transition never lands ragged.

5:34

Effects and Mixer

Delay, reverb and chorus are global, and every channel follows at its own send level. Reload, undo and redo always have your back.

6:17

Templates and MIDI Export

15 factory templates ship ready to play, and the community shares their own. When it is time for the studio, MIDI export opens your work in any DAW.

Details
A Cue8 project exported as MIDI, opened across two DAW windows with every channel on its own track

MIDI Export

Eight channels, written as a standard Type 1 MIDI file. Everything you write in Cue8 opens in any DAW.

Sketch on the road and rehearse your transitions, then move to the studio and pick up where you left off. Every channel lands on its own track, notes and velocities in place.
