Cubase for Atari was MIDI only and ran on the Atari 520ST and Atari 1040ST computers, provided they had 1 Mb of RAM (the 520 with 1 Mb of RAM is effectively a 1040 anyway). It required use of an Atari SM-124 monochrome monitor, which gave a then impressive resolution of 640x400. The main innovation of Cubase was the graphic arrange page, which allowed for the graphic representation of the composition using a vertical list of tracks and a horizontal timeline. This was much more intuitive and allowed much easier editing than the prior system of parameter lists.

It has since been copied by just about every other similar product. Cubase 1.0 Macintosh 1990 Cubase 1.0 is released for Apple Macintosh computers.

Support for Recycle export files (.REX files). This allows the use of 'recycled' sample loops right in VST audio tracks without using a dedicated hardware sampler. VST Audio Engine can now be disabled while VST is running (from within the Audio System Menu) or by launching the program while holding the Shift key. Cubase VST24 3.6 1998 96 tracks, submixers,, 8 FX sends and eight aux. VST/24 3.6 supports the entire functionality of Yamaha's DSP Factory card. Cubase VST24 3.7 Windows Jul 1999 This version introduced VST 2.0, which allowed VST plugins to receive MIDI data from Cubase. It also introduced the concept of VST instruments - earlier implementations of VST had been biased towards effects plugins - and included Neon, a free VST instrument.

VST24 3.7 was the first sequencer ever to support VST instruments, as Steinberg had invented the 'VSTi' specification. Cubase VST24 4.0 Macintosh 1998 Macintosh only.

The last version still compatible with windows 95. Applying the update to 5.1 is said to require windows 98. Cubase VST32 5.1 2001 Was available individually and as part of a Producer's Pack featuring Recycle loop editor and Rebirth virtual instrument (non-VST format), programs developed by Propellerheads but distributed by Steinberg.

The Propellerheads products came on Mac and PC compatible CDs, but the disc and serial hasp for Cubase were PC-only. Primarily was introduced to run on the new Windows XP operating system. Cubase SX1.0/Cubase SL1.0 2002 Cubase SX1.0 was released as the next generation after Cubase VST.

It was based on a contemporary sister program, Nuendo V1.0, and was a total rewrite over the prior versions of Cubase. Although bringing vast improvements in stability and feature quality, there were many features from Cubase VST that didn't make it into the new version, much to the annoyance of users upgrading from prior versions. Schools use it and it is aimed at years 9 and upwards. One notable improvement of Cubase SX was its sound.

The sound of Cubase VST was considered inferior [ ] to its competitors and Cubase SX corrected this with its inheritance of Nuendo's audio engine. Cubase SX1 gained responsiveness, having a bare minimum of intrusive copy protection code.

Notably the copy protection code was embedded in the Key Editor, where users could move MIDI notes. One of the caveats of Cubase SX1 was the loss of the Dynamic Events, a major feature of Cubase VST. SX 1.0 was the first Cubase version not to open Cubase VST songs and projects. SX 1.0 allows importing VST projects and saving them in the new *.cpr format. However the import feature doesn't work very well.

Cubase SX 2.0/Cubase SL2.0 2003 Cubase SX2.0 was hailed by many as a huge leap in functionality. One of the most innovative features was called Timewarp. This allowed users to record music either as MIDI and/or Audio in freetime, without click or metronome, and then move the bars and beats grid to the music, automatically creating a tempo track. The Timewarp tool allowed users to move gridlines. Cubase SX2.0 also saw the introduction of Full PDC (plug-in delay compensation). Many plug-ins, particularly those which run on DSP Cards such as UAD-1 or Powercore, cannot process their audio within a 1-sample time period and thus introduce extra latency into the system. Unchecked, this will cause some audio channels to end up out of sync with others.

PDC checks all the various latencies introduced by such plug-ins and creates audio delay buffers to ensure that audio from all channels is correctly synchronized. Cubase SX 3.0 2004 One of the major features to arrive with Cubase SX3.0 was Audiowarp. It allowed Audio to remain in sync with the project even after changing its tempo. It also allowed users to apply 'tempo anchors' to an imported audio file so it would sync to the tempo of the project regardless of the original tempo. Audiowarp was largely successful, but had a major flaw in that it didn't work with variable tempo projects. This was because the tempo map it copied to the Audio file when musical mode was enabled was derived from the fixed tempo setting of the project rather than from the tempo track. Nonetheless Audiowarp was an important addition to the musical features of Cubase.

Despite the caveats, having the ability to change the tempo of a musical piece and have the audio tracks follow this new tempo was an important ability in music production. Cubase SX 3.1 August 31, 2005 Cubase SX 3.1.1 October 20, 2005 Cubase 4.0 2006 Cubase 4.0 marked the end of the SX, SL and SE designations, with SX becoming Cubase 4, SL becoming Cubase Studio 4 and SE becoming Cubase Essentials 4. It also marked the end of (DX) support, introducing the new VST 3 plug-in standard.

Whatever technical or economic reason Steinberg had for dropping the use of DX plug-ins in Cubase 4, it had a big impact on customer satisfaction. Further, no prior announcement occurred before release to allow users to plan ahead.

It was up to a user on the Cubase forums to announce that DX plug-ins were no longer supported in the program. On the other hand, DirectX plug-ins can be integrated using third-party DirectX-VST wrappers.

DirectX plug-ins have lost their important role in the plug-in market, which is now mainly based on (VST) and (AU). Cubase 4 was the first Cubase version not to support the import of Cubase VST songs and projects.

To give the ability to import older Cubase VST projects and songs, Steinberg decided to make the prior Cubase SX3 and Cubase SL3 versions available as downloads. Cubase 4.0 brought a GUI change. Download Free Marco Benevento Live At Tonic Rar File on this page. In general the GUI was darker than the prior version, Cubase SX3, and on the whole was warmly welcomed, although some elements are considered by many users to be a little too dark on some monitors. With this version the preset system was changed.

The FXP (Preset) and FXB (Bank) files were discontinued along with the drop-down menu XML presets. They were replaced by a preset system that integrates in a new feature, the Media Bay, which allows deeper categorizing and managing of presets at the expense of ergonomics and speed. Cubase 4.1 October 23, 2007 Apart from many bug fixes, V4.1 added some new features, including Sidechaining, Free Group Routing, Project Logical Editor, and Recording from Sum Objects. Existing Features were also improved including the Play Order Track and the Audiowarp, which is now integrated into the Audio Sample editor.

Its predecessor could run up to the operating system but it works on Windows 7 also. Cubase 6 features the new VST 3.5 standard, that introduces new features such as Note Expression.

With Note Expression, the limits of MIDI controller events are circumvented, enabling articulation information for individual notes, even in polyphonic arrangement (e.g. Cubase 6.5 February 29, 2012 Cubase 7.0 December 5, 2012 New features include MixConsole, an improved workflow including full-screen ability, and redesigned channel strips and channel centrals.

History [ ] Cubase has existed in three main incarnations. Initially Cubase, which featured only MIDI, and which was available on the Atari ST, Macintosh and Windows. After a brief period with audio integration, the next version, Cubase VST, featured fully integrated audio recording and mixing along with effects. It added (VST) support, a standard for, which led to a plethora of third-party effects, both freeware and commercial. Cubase VST was only for Macintosh and Windows; Atari support had been effectively dropped by this time, despite such hardware still being a mainstay in many studios. Cubase VST was offering a tremendous amount of power to the home user, but computer hardware took some time to catch up. By the time it did, VST's audio editing ability was found to be lacking, when compared with competitors such as DAE and MAS.

To address this, a new version of the program, Cubase SX (based on Steinberg's flagship post-production software ) was introduced, which dramatically altered the way the program ran. This version required much relearning for users of older Cubase versions. However, once the new methods of working were learned, the improvements in handling of audio and made for a more professional sequencer and audio editor. A notable improvement with the introduction of Cubase SX was the advanced audio editing, especially the ability to 'undo' audio edits. Early versions of Cubase VST did not have this ability. Игры Гта 2 there.

Cubase SX also featured real-time time-stretching and adjustment of audio tempo, much like 's ground-breaking. In September 2006 Steinberg announced Cubase 4 - the successor to Cubase SX3. Notable new features include 'control room', a feature designed to help create monitor mixes, and a new set of VST3 plug-ins and instruments. There are also lighter economic alternatives by Steinberg, originally named, later becoming Cubase SE and then Cubase Essential at version 4. For its sixth generation, the program was renamed Cubase Elements 6. The name change was done presumably, because its rival had taken the Essential branding for its own entry-level DAW software, Sonar X1 Essential. While the full version of Cubase features unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, lesser versions have limits.

For instance, Cubase Elements 6 has a maximum of 48 audio track and 64 MIDI tracks and Cubase Artist 6 offer 64 audio and 128 MIDI tracks. In 2013, Steinberg introduced for iPad, a Cubase for iOS. This version was a full rewrite and supports MIDI and audio tracks, audiobus and virtual MIDI to work with external music apps from the first versions. 2014 Updates brought automation and Inter-App Audio (Apple's technology to connect audio apps). VST instruments [ ] Cubase 3.7 in 1999 introduced a virtual instrument interface for known as.

This made it possible for third-party software programmers to create and sell virtual instruments for Cubase. This technology has become the for other software, when integrating software based instruments on the Macintosh and Windows platforms. A new version of VST, VST3, was introduced with Steinberg's Cubase 4 which introduced sidechaining, among other features. Cubase 6 included VSTs such as HALion Sonic SE, Groove Agent ONE, LoopMash 2 and VST Amp Rack. See also [ ].
