Hello,

we just uploaded the 1.8 update to Apple. We expect the app to be available next week on wednesday (21).

Here is the list of what's new in the 1.8 update. It is the biggest update so far. And it's free!

NEW FEATURES

  • Automation
  • MIDI CC's, program changes, aftertouch support
  • Mixer side global control panel
  • Phase inversion plug-in (for audio channels)
  • Redesigned effect rack
  • Audiobus 2.0 support

IMPROVEMENTS

  • The sustain pedal is now recorded as MIDI events (All sustain pedal problems solved!).
  • The mod wheel is now recorded as MIDI events.
  • Color-coded inspector nodes for automation, inserts and sends were added.
  • The pitch bend range behaviour has been adapted to match Cubase. MicroSonic pitch bend range is configurable per track in the Inspector.
  • Pitch bend wheel movement is visible when playing back pitch bend events.
  • Audiobus 2.0 support.

FIXES

  • AutomationAutomationAutomationAutomationAutomationAutomation!!!!!!!!!!!
    And yay for the other stuff too!

  • Wow, I might have to bite on this one then get a 2nd job or something, hahaha

  • Been waiting for this update for a looooong time! I know everyone has been waiting for automation, but I know a few people who are going to be stoked that the sustain pedal will now work

  • Great that these features are finally here, thanks to Steinberg for their continued update support of Cubasis.

  • Fantastic!!!!!

  • "The sustain pedal is now recorded as MIDI events (All sustain pedal problems solved!). - The mod wheel is now recorded as MIDI events."

    Oh, thank you very much!

  • At last, no sustain was a real pain, now we're getting serious. And automation is too good to be true. Thanks Steinberg for keeping your road track

  • So, a long day at work and now this news. Superb!!

  • Come on sale price...

  • Just pay the price, it's worth it and Steinberg earned it by delivering a constant stream of free updates.

    Ok then come on Paypal iTunes gift card promo...

  • Exiting News this thursday.... iOS music apps really seem to grow together. Tanks you Steinberg

    I'm in US. Paypal one is only one I know of and it comes up every month or so. Sounds like this could be a new thread.

  • Yeah... Chea-PER apps are better than cheap apps!

  • Great news.................. Loving Cubasis----------- Great work guys

  • People have to be paid to deliver those updates and a software engineer costs multiple thousands of USD/EUR per month. There's probably more than one person in the team.

    If you like cheap apps, you can always switch to Android. Lots of free apps there that steal your personal information and sell it, or have ads, or are simply abandoned after a few releases. Sometimes you're lucky and get all three.

    One can see the effect of this price whining on iOS games, which are a complete joke - most games are free, one just has to pay for gems/lives/ore/whatever.

  • Free feature updates still make money to pay the bills. The new features stimulate purchases from people waiting on a certain feature (in my case automation and more midi control) prior to purchasing. I'm sure their thought process with updates is that eventually they will get you to buy it if they keep adding useful and logical features. This applies to a lot of digital music gear too (guitar effects processors, digital mixers, etc.).

    Like the steinberg UR44. They just released the dspmixfx app for free and I'm sure that will spark many sales of the device. I'm slowly learning to never buy an app (or hardware) based on what I hope or think it should do, instead, wait until it does it and then buy it.

    Was this too much of a tangent? If so, sorry about that...

    But free updates don't get any money from the existing user base.

    I'm happy spending money on an app which is worth it. The world expects sales and the concept of getting something for a reduced fee (even if that is an illusion) is very powerful, however, I'm happy to say I have more than £35 of worth from Cubasis :)

    I will also get more than the Auria Midi IAP's ££ worth from that too when it comes out, so I have no problems there.

    For some reason though I'm still waiting for some £2 apps to go on sale ;)! Probably because I think I might not get the £ worth from them. Which is now making me see that it's all totally subjective!

  • @skoptic said:

    Not directly, but there's always the guy posting about how their favorite app just got all these free features or that the broken thing was fixed, which could be considered free advertising. It's a win win for everyone all the way around.

  • If I had spend a while developing a 'considerable' update to some software (be that ios or otherwise) - I know which I'd prefer from the options of upgrade revenue or free advertising ;)

  • To support free updates, all an app needs is a bundle of patches, or samples, released on a regular basis and made available via IAP. Hardly any work involved for the dev and those who wish to support the dev can buy them, then delete any that aren't useful to save space. That's in addition to major new features that should absolutely be IAPs. If it's not in the original description, IAP is perfectly reasonable.

    Perfect.

  • @boone51 said:

    I could understand having a gripe about having to pay extra for functionality that was in the description of the app when you bought it, but if it's a completely new feature that a developer has lost sleep over and worked on for what is clearly months on end...I mean, I'd be pissed if someone suggested I should work for free.

    I'm not saying its plagiarism...ok, maybe I am. I've notified the copyright office of the interwebs.

  • edited May 2014

    Paul's sentiment wasn't original (I've said the same before, you have, many have). The 'perfect' was in regard to how succinctly

    If it's not in the original description, IAP is perfectly reasonable.

    expresses it.

  • I once succinctly used the word "perfect", can I get in on a class action lawsuit?

  • I doubt I've ever had an original sentiment, TBH...

    ...although I came pretty close to distuberance once. That would have been a first...

  • I once wrote a book on the act of plagiarism. Well, most of it.

  • I read a book about gluemaking once. I couldn't put it down...
