Pretty cool.

When it comes to big, flagship audio tools, you don’t get a whole lot of sci-fi in your software. That makes Steinberg’s announcements this week more of a change of pace. They aren’t the first to talk about virtual studio sessions, or even gesturally-controlled music. But seeing this as an add-on to Cubase, not just an experimental hack, counts as news.
And Cubase users can add on those futuristic capabilities in the form of two new tools.
You can fly through Cubase sessions with gestural controls using depth cameras (on Windows) or LEAP Motion (on Windows and Mac). And you can cross time and space by connecting remotely to Cubase projects – soon, even through your mobile device.
Cubase iC Air: Gestural Control
iC Air is a new add-on, available free, that lets Cubase 7 users (in any edition) control various parameters without touching a controller, simply by using hand gestures in front of a camera or sensor.

This is really dope. I think the Leap is gonna be a really awesome controller assuming there's decent integration with software. Hopefully other audio companies take note of what Steinberg's doing here.

So am I. I have the Steinberg CC121 controller so don't really need this.

Yeah it's a lot more than a simple proximity detector. Not just a modern theremin.
