  • I wish so much that I could timestretch midi segments in Cubasis. You can do this in Samplitude on PC. Halving and doubling them is so handy.

  • You know what, I think Microloge is my favorite synth!

    Hmmm. I haven't made it work for me, but can't ignore the fact that many folks really like it. What kind of stuff (the short version:)) do you find it useful/good for?

  • How do we share Microloge presets?

    Go to Media bay -> Instruments -> Micrologue -> My presets, select your preset and tap the Share button in the bottom left corner

    Just re-watched thesoundtestroom's run-through, very nice indeed.

    Nice update— the midi is now officially "delicious," but I do hope version 2.2 == tempo track.

    Haven't had a chance to try it out. Big step forward?

    It's very squishy and responsive, like working with porcelain clay, and the editing options in draw mode are a boon to the workflow. You still can't move notes around as you draw them, a la Gadget (why they have the secret sauce on this, I do not know) but it's a quibble. Speaking of quibbles...

    @Lars Feature Request— I'd love to see a semi-transparent indicator on-screen while pressing one of the midi adjustment buttons to edit midi. I'll never get comfortable blindly pressing a smallish button on the left while editing notes on my right. A simple icon would suffice, but it seems incomplete touchscreen UX at the moment. Great update, though!

  • Often times it's the little things, and I love how the midi, audio, and media screens remember their most recent drag positions/sizes. It really makes for a more consistent experience. I also really appreciate the midi updates. (I can't tell you how many times previously I tapped to add a new note while trying to drag out its length, only to create a series of notes. All good now.) Cubasis' song-writing prowess continues to grow with each new version. Great update!

    (Though I agree I would like to see some type of love for the Pro 12.9 screen size. Things can seem a bit 'cramped and zoomed in' at times).

  • I like the zoomed in effect on the big pro, but then again my eyesight is rubbish.

  • Many thanks for all your comments so far, which are greatly appreciated by the Cubasis team!
    We are very glad to hear that you're happy with the Cubasis 2.1 update so far!

    Please do us a big favour by rating Cubasis in the App Store, since current ratings are lost with every update release.
    It takes only a short moment of your time, and helps us big time!

    Many thanks for your support!

    Best,
    Lars

  • Just gave a great review and rating!

    Very nice update, but having a small issue trying to create a mixdown between the locators.
    It creates a huge file I need to trim afterwards. Not a big issue, but was having the same problem with previous version of Cubasis and maybe you can take a look at it. Thanks.

    Anyone want to convince me I could use both given what looks to be a great update and offer? I'm fairly sure I don't need another DAW ...

    I won't try to convince you that you need both, but I like having both for the variety of instruments and effects.

    I will admit I prefer the look and feel of Cubasis. I find its interface less cluttered and controls less fiddly. It is also less resource intensive, so I can run more apps with Cubasis than Auria Pro. If I had a more powerful iPad with a larger screen, these may be moot points.

    I don't mean this as a knock against Auria Pro because it is a fine DAW and I still enjoy using it.

    Ultimately, it comes down to what you enjoy, and there's no way to really know if you'll like using Cubasis until you try it. If you're still interested, I suggest making the purchase and give Cubasis a proper trial. If you don't like it, you can ask for a refund.

    Thanks, I hadn't thought of the refund idea, I've not asked for one in many years of app buying. Always just treated an inappropriate purchase like a learning exercise I guess.

    That and I research the hell out of stuff so I generally know what I'm getting.

    Workflow does look smooth ... I shall see what $ I have left after the AB3+MIDI Effects bundle splurge.

    I prefer Cubasis for editing and arranging, and Auria for mixing.....As I am on a 16gb Mini 2, I have to un-install/re-install them as I want to use them.....if Cubasis had mixer busses I probably wouldn't use Auria any longer.
    Please don't hate me :D

    Hi Proto,

    Thanks for your message.

    If possible, please create a bug report in our forum (www.steinberg.net/cubasisforum) that includes all steps involved to reproduce the issue along with information about the environment (iPad, iOS and app versions etc.).

    The steps helps us to reproduce the issue the quickest possible way and to evaluate a possible fix.

    Thanks,

    Yes I have had to manually do this on occasion where the original tempo was wrong and the midi was recorded at double or half speed.
    If you have Modstep, run it alongside Cubasis with Cubasis as Midi Clock master....
    Record the midi from Cubasis into ModStep....
    play back the midi in Modstep using the x1/2 or x2 playback speed and re-record the changed midi back into Cubasis.
    Having Double/Half tempo on a part edit menu somewhere would really help.

    Hy Andy,

    Nobody hates you... ;)

    Busses are on the list for future updates for quite some time.

    Due to the small team size we have to carefully decide on manageable scopes per update.
    While I'm not able to give you a date, it is included on the list and we hear you ... :)

    Please note that the media player located on top of the "New in Cubasis 2" website includes 30 audio demos of the latest 75 new Micrologue preset additions released with Cubasis 2 (scroll down the list to find them): https://www.steinberg.net/en/products/mobile_apps/cubasis/new_in_cubasis_2.html

    BTW, these short clips are also included in Cubasis' MediaBay to support you when deciding on a matching Micrologue preset to load for your project.

    AUX sends and busses are the main things missing from Cubasis IMO. Add those and it will be a much better mixing environment.

    Also I find the throw of the faders way too small for any kind of precision when mixing, if you could make the fader panel full screen like you can with the new piano roll that would be a big improvement.

    Finally, I would really like to be able to Audiopaste directly into the timeline rather than having to go via the Media Bay.

    Those fixes would make Cubasis a much better package IMO.

    Hi @Proto . You wouldn't happen to have any apps or FX running as IAA in your projects when you get these huge files would you? That is when I have experienced this problem, which according to @LFS is more likely due to the implementation of IAA rather than Cubasis.

    By the way just gave Cubasis a 5 star review in the app store @LFS - great update! :smile:

    This has been going on for years now. I think it was said to be fixed a couple of years ago but it still continues. The only way I can get it to work is to deactivate the "include effect tail".

    I hear the small capacity thing. I do see the Cubasis vids and think maybe I'd just get more done.

    I'm not wedded to one approach so hatred not required. ;) It's just like programming languages/methodologies for me ... Use whatever works for you and re-evaluate your needs regularly.

    Right now a second DAW is bottom of the list but I do see the merits of both.

    It's the little things.....I agree with this whole-heatedly....seems reasonably inconsequential (and maybe it is), but this is one of the reasons I will open Auria to test or start working on something I've been playing with rather than Cubasis. A small 'quick' decision based on a feeling of convenience or wanting to 'get on with things' that ends up deciding where the work gets done...not even really a complaint, more a piece of workflow feedback from a largely unconscious user :)

    This could be the case since i do have some apps IAA connected and shall try it with audiobus only next time. Thanks for the info :)

    Hi Lars

    Thanks for the re-assurance that they are coming at some point, it is most appreciated.....
    The improved editing and new Reverb will definitely ease the 'pain' during the wait ;)

    As a day job developer myself I get your analogy :)
    Yes it is definitely a case of what you are used to, I am a long term Cubase user so Cubasis instantly feels like home. It is amazing what some familiar colours and graphics (I am over simplifying this) can do to your confidence in using something.

    @LFS congrats on the update. The MIDI editor is a joy to use.

    I would spend all of my iOS music making time in Cubasis if it were possible to create draggable looped audio and MIDI clips. Hopefully it's clear what I mean. . In many DAWs the default behavior of dragging the right side of a clip is to repeat the clip. In Cubasis expanding a clip on the timeline just creates empty space. The current workflow of copying and pasting is less efficient than draggable clips IMO

    If this were to be implemented I would prefer it to use ghost parts where the extra parts are not copies but another instance of the same thing, so if I edit the original that change happens in all ghost parts, and you can convert a ghost to a real part when you want to change something only in that place.

    Not sure I get what you're saying. In DAWs where this is implemented dragging simply repeats the original clip on the timeline. If the data in the clip is changed that change happens to all repetitions on timeline. In many DAWs this is the default behavior, In Ableton Live, clip looping can be turned on or off.

    Agreed! (Though AUX sends are already there) subgroups, full screen faders and timeline paste would be fabulous.
