The Cubase 13.0.50 maintenance update is now available. This update introduces numerous fixes and improvements across various areas of the application. In addition to our usual platforms, you can now access a preview version of Cubase 13.0.50 for Windows on Arm CPUs.
You can find all details in the release notes.
The update is immediately available for download via the Steinberg Download Assistant.
BUG BUG BUG. Vocal chain. I did “Show “Page” automation track” on Reverb inside Vocal chain.
And then on opening vocal chain again you cant choose anything. All just blinking. After removing that “Page” line all working fine.
I forgot. I use Cubase 13, WIN 10.
Not much being said about this maintenance update. I can’t see a lot of interesting improvements in the release notes, so feel a bit undecided about this one.
I am still on 13.0.40, didn’t bother with .41 since it didn’t seem to offer anything to me. And now I feel the same with .0.50.
Is this the general consensus? (I.e. that there is not a lot offered in these last two maintenance updates.)
Best,
Magnus
I had the same feeling with .41. But if you search the forum with:
cubase-13 Cubase This issue has been fixed in Cubase 13.0.50.
You’ll get several hits of issues addressed with this release (e.g. @Martin.Jirsak replied to threads with the sentence above). It’s not immediately obvious to me how those fixes match the release notes, but it seems like the work was put into stability and bug fixes, which matches comments I often read about people preferring that type of update over new features.
Whether any of the stability issues affect you… only you can say. One issue affected me, so that certainly put me in the “update” camp.
But I do get your point. The release notes don’t seem as “glamorous” as some other releases.
Thank you
The maintenance releases are usually that - maintenance. The offer is bug fixes or, occasionally, UI improvments.
I understand. I decided to update to 0.50 and all aeems fine.

Precisely. Maintenance. With Steinberg, the “dot zero dot number” 13.0.XX releases are 95% bugfixes. And whatever “features” they do add in a “dot zero dot number” are very minor releases, most likely correcting something not so great they did on initial release TBH. So no one should be counting on major features with the maintenance releases.
Steinberg seems to have moved to an 18-month release cycle, so Cubase 14.0.XX will likely come out in the Spring of 2025, and then we’ll see a bunch of new features.
In the recent past, Steinberg did do “dot 5 dot number” releases – i.e. 10.5.XX was the last one if I recall properly – and those “dot 5” releases were in between the main version numbers on an annual basis.
Anyway, it’s apparently different since Cubase 11 if I recall. So people get what they get at the main version number now, and the rest is mostly maintenance.
And also, I should add there was one MAJOR exception to what I mentioned above, and that is that the 13.0.50 release is sort of a wow moment, which is that Steinberg now supports Windows on ARM. This is huge news, and Steinberg released a “preview” version of their ARM support, and has promised that by “early 2025” Cubase 13 will be release-worthy on ARM. That’s big news if you missed it. But it’s also another hint that we’ll all most likely be waiting until Spring 2025 for Cubase 14.
Some interesting things in “sampler control” . I would say , i am unable to to use proper. SET sample end - it just won’t go to place i need, unable to slice normal, everytime different result.
Not sure if this is update 13.0.50 related, or just something I’ve never come across before.
Editing a sample while using the sample editor and using alternate then selecting trim, causes Cubase 13 pro to crash everytime.
Same happening here too, but also getting crashes.
Compatibility of Cubase 13.0.50 with Systems Over 32 Processors
I have a question about the compatibility of Cubase Pro 13.0.50 with computers that have more than 32 processors. I previously encountered issues with version 13.0.41, which consistently triggered a fatal error related to Kernelbase.dll on startup, making Cubase unusable. Interestingly, Cubase Pro 12 ran without any issues on the same hardware.
After extensive troubleshooting with tech support, we discovered that 13.0.41 does not support systems with more than 32 processors. I was eventually provided with version 13.0.21, which has been running smoothly.
Could you confirm if 13.0.50 now includes support for systems with more than 32 processors? I’d appreciate any insights, as I’d like to avoid reinstalling if the compatibility issue remains.
Thank you!
Could you please make 13.0.41 version available for download again?
Issue export midi file has not been fixed
I have to add the extensions *.mid manually to the file 
while export midi project
Maybe you need to reset all preferences back to factory settings. And since I just wrote the same in another topic I’ll just link to it (different issue, possibly same cause):
Since installing the update Steinberg/Yamaha ASIO driver is much more “unstable”. Songs that played without issues before at the same buffer sizes now have issues. Would like to revert to the previous version but that seems not to be possible.
Found BUG in chord pads editor. Suddenly chords type and tension buttons on the right become black and chaos begins.
And all those bugs were introduced in 13.0.50?
