Here's what they have to say about the C12:
The intuitive CI2 studio comprises a portable hardware unit as well as a dedicated version of the popular Cubase 5 DAW, Cubase AI 5. The CI2 hardware sports a straight-to-the-point interface that let's you jack in your guitar and mic to get jamming right away. With its two-channel XLR/TRS combo inputs equipped with two sophisticated microphone preamps and phantom power, one HI-Z for direct guitar input, Line and Phones outputs, USB port and a footswitch connector for the awesome Interactive Recording feature, this interface leaves no wishes unfulfilled. The complementing controller section holds the required knobs and buttons plus, leaving the best to last as ever, features the innovative AI Knob powered by Steinberg and Yamaha's Advanced Integration technology to enhance system performance and flexibility.
Pricing and Availability:
Please check with the local Steinberg distributor.

Err, Is it ok to post negative comments about such things? I mean great happy talk.. but I still have no idea what the hell they're talking about for half of it.. What is this AI integration? And considering it comes one or another version of Cubase.. you would think they would want to try communicating with folks who haven't already memorized all there other marketing speak?
So it's clearly aimed at NewBee's ha? I mean it sounds like it's just a cheap.. depending on what the price is, way to get started.. which is great and all.. But I'm guessing it's not 1/20th as uber goovy as they're saying.. I'm guessing that there are already tools out there that do the same thing.. but in a platform agnostic way.. which.. you know.. if you're jumping from a main DAW to Reason to Ableton Live.. is kinda what you really want.. and you want Cubase to be so smart regardless of what sorta controller you might use..
err, sry, just in a grumpy mood
