Sorry, Cubasis , not *Caucasia ,
lol.
I was thinking doing beats in “Groove Agent “ in Dorico and transferring them over to Cubasis . Or using the guitar instrument in Dorico guess I could just do that by sharing a file .
@LFS : Hey Lars , perhaps look at this note as a feature request ? Dedicated connection between Cubasis 3 and Dorico for iPad ? I think it’d be a great idea .
Hi @Telstar5,
Both apps do different things.
I'm not sure it makes sense creating beats in Dorico and move them over to Cubasis.
But: Cubasis supports File Sharing. Does this help to make it work already?
Thanks
Lars
Hi @garden again,
Below please find the info about the new instruments again, which pretty much cover everything what to expect and what to get.
Hope that helps!
Best wishes,
Lars

FM Classics (Cubasis IAP)
Yamaha's legendary DX7 remains one of the best-selling synthesizers in history.

Enjoy yourself playing all the classic DX7 and TX81Z factory sounds, which match the originals as closely as it’s possible to get, paired with a beautifully crafted and easy to use DX-like user interface.
• Classic FM synth for Cubasis

• Eight controls for quick and easy sound editing
@LFS I appreciate your efforts, but marketing isn’t detail, it’s broad strokes and leaves many things unanswered, which I prefer not to have to infer or assume.
I did get what I needed to know on Neo FM from @Jumpercollins.
@LFS : Yes, Lars.. I can make it do what I need it to do via file sharing …
I may be in a minority here.. Even in iOS with all the auv3 sound s available I’m still thrilled with the sounds in 3.6 particularly Halion and FM neo . I went to Logic Pro for awhile but this update here might have wooed me back. Again, great job here.. The Hion sounds are just so damn USABLE .. Especiallyw the Yamaha /Motif borrowed articulation switches . Great, great stuff and thanks for answering my query .
You’re not in a minority, I’m sure. I’m absolutely delighted with the new instruments. The Halion instruments are superb, and the two FM instruments, while obviously limited in editing possibilities, actually offer a a wide range of what FM is most famed for. The tweaking available does give scope for new sounds, too. The integration with Cubasis is tremendous. Personally, I’m very, very happy with this.
I just can’t get into the Ui and Workflow of Logic at all. Cubasis is much easier to work with for me. And yes the sounds are among the best on iOS period, imo.
Hi @HotStrange, Hi @Telstar5,
Understood, but this would be a different feature request then: You'd like to see the Cubasis instruments as AU versions, right?
We are very happy that you seem to enjoy the new instruments - greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Lars
Hi @garden,
Thanks for your message.
We've put lots of efforts in the clips (which you'll find below the marketing text), where Dom demonstrates the sounds and features of the individual instruments. I strongly suggest checking these, to get a clear idea what the instruments have to offer.
In addition, you may also check out the unbiased reviews from Doug (TheSoundTestRoom), Maarten (Lanewood Studios), Luc (Nu-Trix) and Jamie Mallender.
Hope that helps to find out, if the instruments are what you are looking for.
Best,
Lars
Are you working on Audio Unit Parameters exposed for MIDI learn + hardware??????
Thanks !!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS LARS
I would absolutely love (and immediately buy) HALion as an AUv3, but I would also understand if it was kept as a proprietary instrument
@LFS said:
...
...
Yes, pleeeeease.
I think the new Instruments sound amazing, i really want to use them.
They are reasonably priced, even without the initial 25% reduction.
But I will never ever again buy instruments that are locked in.
This is not a Cubasis vs Logic Pro 4 iPad thing.
Sometimes I want to use AUM. Sometimes Loopy Pro or Drambo or Sand.
Instruments have to be freely usable.
Don't be like Korg.
When I look at Korg Gadget, I get sad. I own all gadgets. There are a lot of classic and iconic sounds but I can not use them outside of Gadget.
There are a lot of options for you to make HALion and the others available as standalone instruments on iOS.
You could even go the route of Pianoteq and a cross device licensing system with different tiers.
I would happily pay the official € 349,- for full HALion usable on iOS.
And if the full is not possible (at the moment), cross licensing could work like Alchemy in Logic. On macOS you can use full Alchemy, on iOS you can not (at the moment) but you can use all patches you created on macOS.
Thanks for your feedback @HarlekinX - appreciated!
Best,
Lars
Thanks for the statement @HotStrange!
I think that @HarlekinX might have hit a workable idea here - charge rather more for HALion etc as AUv3, which provides a more budget-friendly Cubasis on-ramp. But also broadens the potential market. FWIW I positively avoid host-linked IAP purchases.
@LFS as an FYI as a Cubasis 3 almost-leaver (I’m subbed to LP4i) the changes which I believe would have the most impact for me are improved MIDI editing workflow and improved audio editing functionality.
How did they squeeze all those sounds into 1.5G..
And?
Yes we will LOVE to see them as AUv3… 😎
@LFS will the IAPs transfer over to new major versions of Cubasis?
@LFS : Those demo clips that Dom did couldn’t be better .. Dom is among the very best at what he does. Add to the list (Jamie Mollander /Soundtestroom) Jade Starr who is coming out with a 3.6 video on Friday. He’s already stated he’s blown away by the sounds. Neo FM is just so good .. And I hope we will see @Samu back at one point . I think his gripes are a great “to do” list for Cubasis and where it needs to go in the future (mixing time signatures , tempo track, improved sampler track etc.
I didn't say I would be 'gone for good' but since I feel mostly ignored and the things we've all been asking for for ages are 'no brainers' I'm just puzzled that a simple search for AUv3's from a text based list that iOS returns to the developer when they querie for installed plug-ins has proven to become an 'impossible task' for the 'Highly Efficient' Cubasis Team I've decided to stay low...(There is really NO EXCUSE for leaving this un-implemented, even a SLOW programmer can do this in less than 30 minutes!).
Let's start with these audio-editing issues which have been there for ages since Cubasis 1.5 or something like that and there's been practically ZERO real improvement to the way audio is edited in Cubasis, maybe some just prefer the 'Glorified Tape-Recorder' approach and never edit the stuff they record?!
"When you use the scissor tool on the time-line to cut/slice an audio event and then go to 'edit' the slice/audio (so you can normalize and add fade in/out, reverse a portion etc.) you can't see the start & end markers of the 'slice' you just created on the time-line, you have to manually do the selection again...". Like really?
"The 'resolution' of the selection tool also depends whether the ruler is shown in bars/beats or time, even with the 'snap grid' turned off the selection snaps to ~1/128 in 'bars/beats' mode and ~10 samples in time mode so you can NOT do sample-accurate selection or edits..".
And to show @LFS and others that I'm NOT 'hater' I've actually purchased all the IAPs so this is definitely NOT about the money!
I'd say pay Blip/NS2 developer GOOD MONEY to implement a piano-roll and fire those who have created the current mess...
Or better yet go down on knees at Yamaha HQ and ask for the source to the Piano-Roll in Yamaha Mobile Music Studio which has the most full featured and well implemented piano-roll I've see on the iPad! (Graphics look a bit dated but ALL the features are there and the touch-implementation is close to perfection!).
And I do hope we'll see full editing capabilities for the FM Classics, I mean consult the people who programmed Yamaha's FM Essentials.app, they managed to squeeze in a FULL FM-Editor with filters and effects that sound far superior to the FM Classic that is included with Cubasis...
I will keep Cubasis installed since I need to to very functionality of the AUv3's I do beta-testing on...
...I don't do beta to 'get early access' or 'freebies', I do it because I see an opportunity to make things better for all of us!
Sorry for another long messages which will like also go un-noticed...
Cheers!
Hi @Samu
Thanks for your comments.
Please accept that we're unable to get back to each and every comment in full detail throughout the last days which have been pretty busy due to release. All forum comments, complaints and suggestions will be discussed after the season holidays.
Best,
Lars
Steinberg Instruments as AUv3 would be really strategic for the brand and probably generate more revenue than Cubasis itself.
Hi @Telstar5
Thanks for your comment!
We think so too, and are more than glad to have him doing this...
Same way we greatly appreciate the hard work of Doug (TheSoundTestRoom), Maarten, Jamie, Luc and all who will contribute...
Best wishes,
Lars
Understood...
Wish You All A Merry Christ Man & A Happy New Year 2024!

I'm willing to license Xequence's pianoroll editor to Steinberg and help with integration for a EUR 10,000 lump sum!
(it is cross-platform, easily modularized, and will be equally easy to integrate on both iOS and Android!)
Hopefully that grabs @LFS's attention. It would be investment money well spent
...note that I haven't extensively used Cubasis' editor and can't even say if Xequence's is better. 😄
Don’t worry Samu. I bet that the majority of ABF forum members think the same but do not want to directly interfere, so we are on your side. Side of the users who love Cubasis and want all the best. 🫡
First of all , thanks again to @LFS for again taking note and responding.
@Samu : Thanks so much for consolidating what’s wrong with Cubasis in such a concise way. I hope Lars makes a copy of that and presents it to the team after the holidays . That was awesome : I made a copy myself just to peruse . You are frigging invaluable to this forum.
