Cubase 13.0.21 New Bugs!

I just discovered two new bugs in 13.0.21 that were not present in 13.0.20.

  1. The loss of shift+ arrow key functionality in the Key Editor (that shifts a note up/down an octave).

  2. The loss of Cycle Marker functionality in Marker Tracks (i.e., we’re no longer able to insert a new Cycle Marker).

Reverting to 13.0.20 fixed both problems.

It’s time to take stock of your company when you cannot release a single update without constantly introducing new bugs. What’s going on over there? This was supposed to be a minor (hotfix) release but SB still managed to introduce new bugs!

The octave key editor bug is when the hub is left open. It’s not specific to 13.0.21.

Hi,

Close the Hub, please. This is going to be fixed in the next maintenance update.

Could you be more specific, please? Could you add a screenshot?

This is not the case for me. If I position the Left Locator at measure 5 and the Right Locator at measure 9, a cycle marker is inserted there. Everything works on my side.

I have found that disabling the News feed in the hub entirely is a GOOD THING TO DO.

It cleared up a lot of stupid $#!+, i.e. crashes on open & sometimes close.

Hi Martin,

I can’t provide a screenshot (because I already reverted back to 13.0.20), so I’ll describe what the problem was in words.

I always add a Marker Track to my projects and insert Cycle Markers to delineate each section (e.g. intro, verse, chorus, etc.). I included an example of what I’m talking about below, but this is from an old project using an earlier version of Cubase 13. The Cycle Markers are contained in the Marker Track named “Sections”.

This afternoon I went to do what I just described above (when I was still using 13.0.21), but after selecting a range in my project and clicking on add a Cycle Marker in the Marker Track, nothing happened. I tried it several times. I did notice that one entry for each attempt was added to History, but no Cycle Marker ever appeared in the Marker Track.

After reverting back to 13.0.20 I tried the same exact thing (in the same project with the same range) and it worked perfectly the first time.

Hope that helps…

I agree! It’s one of the first things I do after installing a new version/update of Cubase.

Hi Rene,

This is not the case for me. If I position the Left Locator at measure 5 and the Right Locator at measure 9, a cycle marker is inserted there. Everything works on my side.

Just curious, are you using a Mac?

I’m running Windows 10.

Hi,

No. The .21 update was Windows only, so he has to be on Windows.

And this works my side (Mac) too.

Like @DrWashington, I don’t use the News Hub. I have no idea if this is related.

My system is running Windows 11 and I have no problems with Cubase.

Nuendo 13.0.21/W11 here.

The loss of shift+ arrow key functionality (octave +/-) in the Key Editor works for me with the Hub closed.

The Cycle Marker functionality in the Marker Track works for me as well.

Hi, So how do you close the News Hub ??? I have noticed more crashes since I’ve updated from Cubase Artist 13 to Pro 13

More bugs on 13.0.21
The function located here is MISSING!!!
Preferences / Transport : “Return to start position on stop”
It drives me crazy!!!

Hi and welcome to the forum,

This has been moved to the Transport menu and you get more options.

Fader Caps are all white in Cubase Elements 13.

No blue for Group faders, no purple for FX channels, etc.

Stereo Out is still red, though.

Hi,

Could you try in the Cubase Safe Start Mode [Disable preferences], please? Or rename/delete your Cubase preferences folder, pelase?

Cubase Preferences folders are:
Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/Cubase X
Win: %appData% \Steinberg\Cubase X_64

Where the X is the Cubase version (for example 13).

Hi Martin.
Yes I did. Didn’t work.

Hi,

Have you tried to rename/delete even an older Cubase version preferences folders, please?
