Apple Pencil Input Not Processed Properly in Cubasis 3.8.3 (and 3.8.2)

Today I noticed something odd with Cubasis. It wouldn’t accept any of my Apple Pencil inputs when editing notes in the piano roll. Has anyone noticed this?

I tried the following things:

  1. restarting the ipad
  2. testing in other apps (works flawlessly in AUM + Atom Piano Roll)
  3. updating Cubasis to newest version

Here’s a video of it in action. The note just snaps back into its original position:

Doing it with the finger works as it should. Something is clearly off with the processing of Apple Pencil inputs. And it’s been broken before the most recent update. Please fix!

This is very strange behaviour, but this is not happening on my iPad Air 4 or 13” Air M2, I am using a third party ePencil instead of a Apple Pencil, hopefully a fix can be found.

You need to turn off hover in the settings. It’s very frustrating

This fixed it! However, I should not need to disable hover - this will inadvertedly break other things. I hope the Cubasis devs will be able to solve this issue.

Hi @dreikelvin

This is a Qt issue similar to the Android mouse bug in January. We’re waiting for a fix, but can’t promise a timeline. For now (as kindly suggested by @Matthew_D already), please disable Hover in Cubasis.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,

Hi, could you please tell me exactly where you found the setting to disable Hover?

I’m using:

  • iPad Air 11-inch (M3)
  • Apple Pencil (USB-C), model A3085
  • iPadOS 26.5.2
  • Cubasis 3.8.3

Hover works in other apps (i guess), but I cannot find any option to disable it either in the Apple Pencil settings or in Cubasis.

@LSlowak, could you also confirm where this setting should be located on this configuration? I have already checked both Ipad settings and cubasis settings, but i couldn’t find any hover option. thank you both

Make sure your Apple pencil is paired.

Then go to Settings → Apple Pencil → Hover

It should be an option that’s available to you.

Sorry for the german in my video, “Schwebeeffekte” (whoever came up with this translation, good lord) is “Hover” in english :joy:

:joy::joy: thank you very much, but there is no Hover option — or anything resembling it — in the Apple Pencil settings on my iPad.

Are you using an Apple Pencil Pro? I’m using an Apple Pencil (USB-C), so perhaps that is the reason.

Unfortunately, this means the suggested workaround is not available on my configuration​:confused:

Yes, only Apple Pencil Pro supports the hover function.

Hi @giozappardo,

Thanks for your message.

Please note that all remaining Apple Pencil-related issues should be resolved in the upcoming Cubasis 3.8.5 update.

We kindly ask for a little more patience, as it will still take some time before the update is released.

Best,
Lars

Thank you for this.. It was really frustrating! Looking forward to the .5 release

Hi @Matthew_D,

We will be there soon… and would be very glad to see your updated review from you once the update has gone live.

Best,
Lars
