While this is not yet decided I do not see a paid Cubasis upgrade coming with the 2.0 release.

Been playing with Cubasis few things I would like to add to wish list:
User locator points that can be saved with project.
Tempo/signature track.
Arranger track.
Function to set locators to selected part.
Score editor.
Drum editor.
Liking it so far :-)
I hope Steinberg keeps it up and never looks back from their position at the front of the pack! This was a very nice update. Thanks!
Looking forward to Thesoundtestrooms upcoming video on the sampler, how is it going over their Doug?
Cubasis is always improving.
Although not fast, it is always better than before! That is why people stay with it!
If it got Gadget or Auxy type midi editor! It will be King of all iPad Daw!
S'funny how the thing that bugs you the most is always surely the easiest thing to fix. In Gadget surely they could make the Bilbao sample time 10 secs? Or just add some undo functionality? In Cubasis, which I used and stopped using because the piano roll drove me nuts, surely they can just do a little something here or there and tighten the thing up, make it easy to zoom in, move shit about, be sleek and productive etc etc. And maybe it doesn't annoy most other folks or they're used to it or something, but for all the other functionality, and like a dog with a steak that just smells wrong, the editing (for me) kills what little juice I try to bring to this thing...
What's so good about Gadgets midi editor? Keep seeing these comments but don't have it to compare things against.
No one app is perfect; however, if you have all these apps ( Gadget, Cubasis, Auria etc....), you will understand why many folks stick with Gadget environment.
All done with touch - very minimal on features - just gives you what you need
You can fold down to show just notes in your scale (or just notes in use) - this is why I can never use any other piano roll... This single feature is so helpful...
Automation lanes work very nicely
100% rock solid - no surprises
Can make it full screen very easily
Visually very clear (I always found Cubasis's piano roll to be visually very fiddly looking).
I agree with you, but what do you mean by 'You can fold down to show just notes in your scale' What is this 'folding down'?
Sits silent in the certainty all the cool kids are pointing and laughing etc
I guess the scrolling up/down button on upper right hand side, it hides the Gadget synth to show only notes on scale table.
Ah, damn. Yes, makes sense. That I already know about of course. Was willing to risk being seen as a dumbass (quite common, quite used to it) in the hope that there was some special thing that would suddenly make everything alright....sigh.
Agree with @JohnnyGoodyear, the midi editor in Cubasis is the reason I don't use it more (although I would love to).
And to reinforce @Matt_Fletcher_2000 's list, the editor in Gadget is so quick and easy to use compared to the one in Cubasis. So many times I don't know whether I am going to select or add a note. It took me ages to work out that you needed to select notes then click an erase button to delete them. The touch scrolling/zooming is shot in Cubasis and you can't take it full screen as far as I can tell.
Fixing the editor would make a world of difference.
@JohnnyGoodyear
NOTE FOLDING. to only show the notes in use or in your scale, go to Function, then in the upper right pop up, select your preferred note folding and voila, hides all out of scale or unused notes as you wish
@JohnnyGoodyear
You brit folk!
Having the same brainstorming portrait and questing like Mr. Alan Turing!
Searching from infinity! I finish watching this video today!
I can't seem to find a way to do looped mode int he sampler (you know, with loop point tuning and crossfades). Has anyone found how to do this, or is this just a single shot sampler with 50MB per sample limit?
@Jocphone
you seem to have figured out Cubasis' midi editor. I'm still wondering what the button with the lock icon is doing? it doesn't seem to do anything in my experience but most likely something is locked by it?
Actually, you can. Just grab the header of the midi editor above the instrument name and drag it to change the height of the window
Please have a look at the available tutorial to learn more about the MiniSampler and its functions. Furthermore the In-app help shows up with a full explanation of all MiniSampler features as well.
Lock icon is for locking left hand side tiny keyboard scale! After locking, you can not move the scale up or down.
When lock is on, you can't scroll and zoom in/out
What compressor do you guys mostly use for recording vocals or guitars into Cubasis? Or is the limiter better?
I really wish there was a way to know what amounts of compression on is using.
Hello lovelies, please could someone be so kind to help a confused damsel in distress ... I'm a newbie Eek!
If anyone would be happy to answer a question, it'd be much appreciated
I'm currently on GB I notice Cubasis is on sale today. I'd like to upgrade, am I able to export all my GB files into Cubasis to use the mixer etc there? Please could someone let me know because I think the sale ends tonight. Thanks lovelies x
You can restrict the piano roll to just show the notes in the scale you are in. E.g. C Aeolian or whatever... (It hides / 'folds away' the other notes not in your scale).
The Cubasis MIDI editor window can expand to almost full screen by pulling up the window from the upper left corner of the MIDI Editor window. It stays that way for the whole session. Whenever you double click a MIDI track; the window pops up to the fuller screen view, where you left it the last time.
I find the Cubasis MIDI editor to be a more extensive editor than Gadget. You can insert program changes and CC modulation along with velocity, pitchbend, and aftertouch parameters in the editor window. The zooming in and out of the editor window in Cubasis kind of bounces around until you adjust your editing view just right. Hopefully, they will fix this and zoom in and out, and make it zoom to where the playback head is situated.
I find Gadget's MIDI editing window to be awkward as well. Zooming in and out is very rigid, it only views the bars you have selected to view. You cannot see notes that hang over into the next measure; which is frustrating to me. They are two different animals, Cubasis is the traditional piano roll type editor; and Gadget is chunk- or loop-based. It depends on which you prefer.
I don't use GB too much, but you should be able to export you project as wav or another format and open in Cubasis.
Hi @Eothenlady - welcome...
Short answer is "no".
They are completely different apps and you can't really "export" one project to another. Certainly not at the click of a button.
Your best best might be to export out every GB track as audio files and then import those .wav files into Cubasis. But it would be a bit of a procedure. And it would all be 'rendered' as audio then (you couldn't subsequently change the notes played in Cubasis).
You'd be best off starting new projects in Cubasis and going from there - to be honest. Although you could maybe convert a couple across depending on how complex they were and how much patience you have!
I never tried using Garage Band to export files!
I think you can import any .wav files from GB to Cubasis.
2 effects packs is a must buy for Cubasis. They are quite good quality to tell the differences, plus saving you lots cpu power and multiple internal automations!
You lucky! I paid it at full.
So Cubasis people...
How easy / reliable is it these days (Air1 iOS8) to hook a couple of external synths into Cubasis (with IAA) and play them with Cubasis's midi piano roll then record the audio back in?
Does it "just work" or is it still prone to lots of faffing around?
And does the audio come in bang on time - or is there a slight lag which is then really difficult to correct because Cubasis has that "snap to grid" thing going on when editing audio so it not possible to get it pixel perfect. (That always used to be the problem if I remember correctly).
I'm just considering if it's worth me re- downloading and having another go.
. It would be nice to score something with some external synths (rather than Gadget) for a change 
.
I'm thinking Sunrizer, Z3ta, Cyclop, Thor...
@bsantoro you can scroll bars in Gadget by using two finger swipe and adjust your view using pinch beolw the yellow bar markers
btw nice that someone defends Cubasis midi editor, because it is not that terrible , yet still an improvement would be quite high on my feature wish list as well
@Kaikoo & @yug thanks! i had always thought it was meant to lock the notes but it didn't
