Modern creative workflows rarely live inside a single application—and that’s exactly where the Yamaha CC1 controller proves its value. Built for producers, streamers, podcasters and hybrid creators, the CC1 is a professional USB control surface designed to bring DAW control, streaming tools and system commands into one tactile, responsive interface. With a 100 mm touch-sensitive motorized fader, high-resolution rotary controls and customizable LCD keys, the CC1 replaces constant mouse navigation with hands-on control that keeps your focus on sound, performance and timing. Native integration with Elgato Stream Deck, OBS Studio and Steinberg DAWs allows the CC1 to function as a centralized command surface. Complete with Yamaha's impeccable build quality, it all equates to a controller capable of managing transport, mixing, plug-ins, scenes and software functions in real time across music production and broadcast environments.
Hands-On Control That Responds in Real Time
At its core, the CC1 delivers the kind of tactile control experienced creators rely on for fast, confident decision-making. A 100 mm motorized fader with touch sensing and 10-bit resolution provides smooth, accurate level rides, while an AI knob and four push-and-turn rotary encoders allow precise adjustment of plug-ins, parameters and automation targets. Together, these controls make it easy to shape sound, balance mixes and react in real time—without breaking creative flow or shifting attention back to a screen.
Visual Control With Fully Customizable LCD Keys
The Yamaha CC1’s 12 fully assignable LCD keys bring visual clarity and instant access to complex workflows. Using Elgato Stream Deck software, each key can be customized with icons, labels and actions, while unlimited banks allow control layouts to expand as projects grow. Whether launching DAW commands, triggering macros, switching OBS scenes or controlling system functions, the LCD keys provide immediate feedback and reduce the friction of managing multiple applications at once.
Deep DAW Integration Meets Broad Software Control
Purpose-built for music production, the CC1 offers dedicated DAW control with native support for Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, along with compatibility for Pro Tools workflows. Transport, channel control, plug-in editing and navigation are designed to feel direct and intuitive. Beyond the DAW, the CC1 extends its reach to non-DAW software, making it equally effective for streaming platforms, broadcast tools and system-level commands—an essential advantage for creators working across music, video and live content.
Compact Design That Grows With Your Workflow
Despite its depth of control, the CC1 maintains a compact footprint that integrates easily into desktop studios and mobile setups alike. Its integrated design keeps workspaces clean and uncluttered, while the included adjustable stand supports comfortable viewing and operation. As creative needs change, the CC1 scales with you—supporting deeper customization and more complex control schemes without requiring additional hardware.
A Connected Creative Ecosystem Built for Long-Term Use
The CC1 is supported by a flexible ecosystem of software and hardware tools designed to evolve alongside your workflow. Yamaha’s Control Center (Tools for CC1) enables profile management and control customization, while Elgato Stream Deck software provides visual workflow design and expansion. Included Steinberg tools like Cubase AI and compatibility with OBS Studio and MixKey further extend the Yamaha CC1’s role as a central command surface. The result is a system that reduces setup friction and technical overhead—so creators can spend less time managing tools and more time focusing on music, performance and content.
