Workflows, expectations and the tastes are different, expectations vary.
Relax guys! Constructive discussions are totally fine as long as they are peaceful.
Have a great weekend,

Is it just me or didn't the Mini Sampler save Pad assignments in custom instruments before 2.0?
Could have sworn it did but when I open a Mini Sampler instrument I made, with samples assigned to Pads, I just get the default Pad layout (which is an odd and sort of nonsensical layout in the first place).
I guess a work around would be to assign samples to the default layout, so that Pad assignments don't vanish?
@lovadamusic, Steinberg can speak for itself in the forum (and I see nothing wrong if they do want to keep Cubasis as a companion for Cubase, and I honestly think they are doing a great job, addressing many complaints from others and from myself about little workflow annoyances), but about Apple, I have litle doubt they won't push Logic to iOS. The iPad was meant (and it's mostly used) as a Mac companion, not a Mac alternative (which is the way I want to use it, and have been for a while, thanks to some really great devs).
See? It's not that I think that using the iPad in conjunction with a Mac (or Windows PC) is evil: just it doesn't appeal to me; it's not what I want; I'm running from it: I want the most "Desktop free" workflow I can get from my apps.
As far as I know both Pad and Chord assignments are (and have always been) track dependent and there is no way to make 'global' changes. Copying a track carries over some of the settings.
For the mini-sampler it would be nice if it was possible to 'tag' the mini-sampler instrument as either 'instrument'(piano keys) or 'drums'(pads) and attach a piano keys/pad layout to the instrument as default.
I have a feeling that the 'big list' the people over at the Steinbergs Cubasis team have is growing longer all the time...
For starters, I'd like to see the option, w/ minisampler, to drag audio to pads, vs. keyboard. We need better chopping and beatmaking options.
Those features are more likely to surface in BeatMaker 3 or Beathawk before Cubasis gets something similar to 'Groove Agent' that is available with the desktop version of Cubase
For me it's honestly more important that the 'core features' of Cubasis work properly before implementing too much new features.(This includes Track-Freezing, Grids, File-Management etc.). But I also know that from the 'marketing point' new features usually sell apps...
Only Lars (@LFS) knows what's cooking in the Cubasis factory and I also know that this forum is a stellar place for doing 'Customer Research' for ideas that can be forwarded to the team for evaluation and eventual implementation.
side chain.
Forgive me if this has been covered but it seems like any time i'm away the thread grows a few pages. Does cubasis 2 support midi learn, can't find it.

Oh, okay. Thanks for bringing light to my darkness. Also to others here who replied.

Yes, indeed. Many thanks, Mr Lars.
Is it possible to store presets with third party AU instruments yet?
@LFS what about the built in AU in iOS , I noticed that recently realesed N Track studio 8 has access to them.
Is there plans to give access to them in an update
I am sure loving exporting stems from Blocs Wave into Cubasis and then just recording them back with FX/timestretching/pitchshifting back into Blocs via Audiobus.
Couldn't tell if you were celebrating its inclusion in 2.0, (or asking for it...if you were asking, you got it!)
This is a good candidate for a tutorial. I'm not sure I'd use it much, but I'd like to have the option.
really! I was asking for it cause I thought I read earlier in the thread that it didn't have it.... this is good news.. Thanks
I know this will probably get lost in this thread but are there any plans to add Scale Modes for playback purposes?
We did ????? Where is it ?
Apps like iSEM show up with their own preset system when being loaded as AU instrument. There it is possible to both load/save presets.
Apple's preset mechanism (that is also supported with Cubasis) only allows to load presets.
Best,
Lars
AUM lets you save presets for AU. Is this a custom implementation ?
Do you talk about audio units?
Cubasis offers full audio unit support for instruments and effects since version 1.9.8 which has been released back in Feb 2016.
Best,
Lars
I'll repharse the question/request.
CoreAudio in iOS and macOS has 'built-in' Audio-Units made by Apple.
These are for the most part functions in the CoreAudio framework that developers can use. These include Reverbs, Pitch-Shifters, EQs, Filters, Delays, AUSampler(capable of playing SoundFonts, ESX24 files etc.) and a lot more.
Some apps apply their custom UI for these functions (ZMors Modular is one of them).
These functions could be used to add say SoundFont support to Cubasis and also allow realtime 're-pitching' of sounds (ie. Play the keyboard to transpose an audio-track in realtime without affecting it's speed etc.). I think to save 'coding time' on Cubasis a quick study into what is available 'for free' in CoreAudio framework would be in place.
I think it's at least worth a serious consideration.
Thanks to Doug for his nice video feature of the newly added 76 Micrologue presets included in Cubasis 2: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/15385/video-from-doug-cubasis-2-new-micrologue-synth-the-big-soundtest-demo-for-ipad#latest
We love Micrologue ourselves pretty much, and are glad Doug and you do too!
Do not forget to make use of the modwheel when fiddling around with the new presets (and do not forget to activate the automation buttons when recording).
Happy weekend everybody,
Lars
Hey Lars. Truly am enjoying cubasis a ton since I bought it. Just one question.
Is there a way to side chain in 2.0 using native effects? . Or at least a volume duck
Effect ? Cant seem to figure out how to do it other than drawing volume automation
Manually.....

Glad to hear you like Cubasis 2!
Side chaining is on our list for future updates.

I'm talking about importing folders as folders ... Blocs has same issue as Cubasis, where it unloads the contents of the folder into one big general population.
I don’t know what’s involved for developers, but it seems there’s a lack of will with many to make good file management. The apps have so many cool features for the price, sometimes for any price. Why is file management so often neglected? It’s important to most users, I believe, as organization is important. Preserving stuff, getting to stuff, transferring stuff… kind of bread and butter stuff. Is it relatively difficult to implement, or is the feature not sexy enough to sell product?
Implementation!
Best,
Lars
Perhaps the solution is not to have actual files. Dispense with the requirement for actual distinct discrete data in 'files'. Merely use quantum technology to derive the content that would have been in a file, based on a selective quantum filtering of infinite probability. Storage problem solved!
That's the method my brain uses - think it does not work well - I think I was a prototype
