Cubasis 3.6 and New Instruments available

After 5 hours of trying, it worked when I applied VPN and set the country to Germany

Hi Nai,
Did you not save your projects folder before deleting and reinstalling Cubasis?

Alas no. Not the end of the world though!

@LSlowak LoFi Piano is not showing in Apple App Store on my iPad Air 3, but all of the for purchase IAP ‘s are showing (HALion, NEO FM, FM Classics).

Does LoFi Piano require more hardware than HALion?

Hi John,
I originally answered this question wrong.
So far the piano works as normal but I can’t say for sure about pedals

Hi @Johne1

LoFi Piano comes for free with Cubais 3.6 and can be unlocked via registration within the Cubasis in-app shop.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Lars

Hi all,

It seems the content download issues could have been resolved by all of you, correct?
Hope you will enjoy using the new instruments!

Stay well,
Lars

@LSlowak Ah, the Shop icon within Cubasis. Got it, thanks!

Hey, Mike,
I thought maybe LoFi wasn’t appearing with all the other IAPs in the App Store under Cubasis because maybe it required more RAM than my iPad Air. 3 had. That’s what I meant by, “Does it require more hardware than HALion?” Which I couldn’t imagine to be the case, btw.

I had to load a VPN app and start a free trial with it to VPN into Germany. Once I did that, the download worked. This is not really an ideal solution for most users. I suggest Steinberg distribute the files with a global CDN or whatever platform hosts files for Steinberg Download Assistant rather than make everyone get them from Germany.

I have tested the DSP using HALion and then LoFi piano, no change there,
I’m not sure if more RAM is used by one or the other, I would have thought HALion would use more resources because some of the presets are huge, if this was ButterSynth playing some of these presets it would stutter in places.
I will be using HALion to replace some instruments in Doc Martin and see how that goes :slightly_smiling_face:

And dont forget the VX function for some instruments
Great addition but too bad its only for a few instruments.

I moved over from Cubase to Cubasis, Kontact in Cubase had key switches too and I really missed them, but now they are part of HALion, you never know, steinberg may add more VX functionality to some of the other instruments :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:

Never seen them updating an iap instrument… i could be wrong :thinking:
Love the Halion instruments and the amount of presets… it kinda blows a lot of the previous ones out of the water… it feels like a full suite, except maybe for using drums from one of the drummachines or other kits., the Halion selection feels like something you can build full compositions with,while staying in the same quality.

I agree with you there, in fact I will be changing a lot of previous instruments in past projects because these new ones sound far superior, problem now is we are spoiled for choice, I usually use iM1 acoustic guitars but HALion’s selection with articulation is amazing

Hi @fixitmania53, Hi @CJ_Monster,

Great to see you seem to have some fun using the new instruments. That’s exactly what they were designed for… :slight_smile:

Best,
Lars

Wow, check the key switches on Warm Chorused Strat, there are 10 and they latch on. Clean Guitar VX and Solid Guitar VX both have 16 key switches but not latchable.

Hi - is there any chance we’ll see aum3 versions of new instruments (FM Neo, FM Classics, HALion SS) soon? I would like to have it on a stage, too :slight_smile:

tnx,
Danijel

@fixitmania53 Hi Mike, all your comments on HALion are great to know. I wasn’t going to get it, not sure if my iPad Air can handle it, but you’re selling me on trying it, for sure. Thanks! John

Instantly bought all the new expansions, and absolute love them, especially the old DX7 roms. Finally don’t have to fire up my old DX7 anymore to send it through effects.

One thing though: I find it kinda unfortunate that I seemingly am not able adjust the release time (or ADSR in general) for any of these new expansions? They’re all sample based, right? Why can’t I avoid having the cut of as soon as I release the key then? Maybe I’m just missing the setting, please correct me if I’m wrong.
