Take control of sound, video and streaming with Yamaha’s new controller

The new CC1 from Yamaha is a compact, all-in-one USB controller for managing a wide range of creative tasks. Launched at the NAMM Show 2026, it is designed to give creators intuitive, seamless control across a wide variety of software applications, helping to simplify and streamline their workflows.

The CC1 combines control options for both DAWs and non-DAW software in one compact, easy-to-use unit. This blend of outstanding versatility and DAW-specific controls is ideal for creators working across all types of music and video production, streaming, podcasting and more.

It features 12 LCD keys with unlimited banks, which can be customised via the CC1’s Yamaha Control Center application, as well as with Elgato Stream Deck software. Its four multi-function rotary controls can be assigned to a wide range of parameters, while the versatile “AI” rotary control can adjust any parameter under the mouse pointer or at the project’s current position, and also functions as a jog/shuttle wheel.

The CC1’s dedicated DAW channel section includes a 100mm touch-sensitive motorised fader, solo/mute/pan/record controls, and transport controls. It also features an input for a Yamaha FC5 footswitch or FC7 expression pedal, expanding control options and making it well suited for hybrid live performances.

With seamless integration with the OBS Studio video recording/streaming application and Steinberg audio software, the CC1 is a versatile all-rounder designed to adapt as creators’ workflows, platforms, applications and hardware evolve. This allows users to focus less on setup and more on creativity, performance and bringing ideas to life.

Available now from Yamaha dealers, the CC1 has a net SRP of €349.
