Great! Thanks.

Awesome, love the amount of effort going into this app. I was kind of hoping that support for the iPad Pro resolution would make it into the update though, hopefully soon!

Wow!!! Thank you!!! :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for one more great update.

With this update, whoever, I was hoping to have now more mixdown options (export a single mono track to mono).
Do you plan to add it soon?

Again, thanks.

My email notice advises that I can get Cubasis 2.1 for 50% off until April 10th and the price listed in the App Store is $24.99 Cdn. I am hoping this is the full price before discount - is this the case?

UPDATE: Apologies - there is no need to respond. I realize now that the price in the App store is 50% off the regular price for NEW purchasers but the upgrade is free for existing users like myself.

Hi Mike999,

Please have a look right here: *** Cubasis 2.1 Limited Offer (to end very soon) *** - Cubasis - Steinberg Forums

Best,
Lars

Thanks, Lars. I was just updating my post while you were writing yours and have now downloaded the free update to my Cubasis 2 app.

Thanks for the quick update!
Have great fun with Cubasis 2.1!

Best,
Lars

Hello, sorry for asking such a basic question but how to upgrade?

Hi Arcos,

These are the steps:

  • Open the AppStore app on your iPad
  • Tap “Updates” located on the bottom right
  • Look für “Cubasis” and tap the update button

Have great fun with Cubasis 2.1!

Best,
Lars

Thank you so much for this new version!!

One question, when editing in the Key Editor, can I still use the lasso-tool?
It seems I can’t turn it on or off; the select-button is lit and I can’t switch it off…

Thanks in advance!

All the best,
René

Hi René,

Thanks for your message.

The lasso-like tool is available and can be used in a more convenient way as before.

The enabled “Select” mode in the key editor allows to:

  • select events indiviudally by tapping
  • select / deselect all events at once via single tap or double tap in an empty area
  • create a specific selection of events via long tap in an empty area (this brings up the lasso-like select tool)

To learn more about the MIDI editor (key editor) improvements and how to use them best, please have a look at our Cubasis 2.1 tutorials (at 3:50 min): https://youtu.be/H9urz7bCSaI

Best wishes,
Lars

Thank you Lars, for your quick and useful reply!
Thanks to the entire team as well, we really appreciate the fact that you keep adding new features.

Best wishes,
René

Hi, I was just wondering if the following bug may be addressed in the nest release.

I have just updated to 2.1 in the hopes that it may have been resolved, but unfortunately it still exists.
Basically, if you have two USB midi interfaces of exactly the same type, Cubasis always selects them both rather then one or the other. See the following screen shots

Selecting one, actually selects both, this basically renders Cubasis useless when you are using more than one midi interface of the same type and name. I am using a genuine Apple USB/Charger adaptor, and an Apple USB hub. All interfaces work perfectly inside ModStep, as it has already addressed this issue.
I was just wondering if this is something that will eventually be fixed? Quite a few iOS midi apps suffer from this exact problem. I love Cubase, and I would so love to use Cubasis in the studio, but I cant use it…so sad. (Insert a shot of me crying!)
Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for your message.
Have shared the issue with our engineering and let you know about the outcome.

Best,
Lars

Thanks Lars,
Much appreciated.

Cheers
Brett

As some kind of unsolicited spokesman for many folks who don’t get onto forums:
I am absolutely dazzled and enthused about Cubasis. Like, take a step back and marvel at what miracles there are, in a hilariously thin calculating device… even if you’re not blessed with a high age and compare, “Back then, all we had was mammooths and fourtracks…”, it is absolutely stunning.
So thanks to developers, engineers, whathaveyounot, and this informative and useful forum. You improve the world. (Big words, but I actually do believe in_Healing Powers Of Beatmusik_.)
One thing I haven’t sussed out yet: Is there a way to store effect (-chain) settings or at least copy them from one project to another?
