Improvements
Cubasis assures you always stay focused on your creativity. Cubasis 3.7 matches powerful features and improvements with unmatched usability, ensuring maximum performance and enduring stability, supporting you by helping you to capture your ideas and polish them into amazing sounding tracks.
Tempo and signature tracks are really important for me. I’ll start using my iPad a lot more for mock-ups, and with the Iconica Sketch, I don’t have to annoy the family and keep disappearing into my studio for small ideas! Thank you.
If I understood well, all the three versions of Iconica Sketch (standalone, Cubasis and Dorico) download their own copy of sounds? That takes a lot of space. Could you do something similar to what KORG does with Gadgets and Module - sharing common sounds between your own apps?
The Cubasis 3.7 update has arrived for Android! I updated and installed a new orchestral instrument (iconica sketch). I also liked the new features for the track tempo!
And they fixed the problem with extending the track, which I wrote about earlier.
Thanks to the Steinberg team!
P.S. I liked the update!
Hi, is this a free upgrade for existing Cubasis 3 users? I purchased the ‘full feature set’ for Cubasis 3 (from the LE version). I don’t seee anyway to switch this to 3.7. I purchased Iconica thinking that might flip things to 3.7 but it did not. Nor do I see “Iconica” as an ‘instrument’ in my Cubasis. Thanks for any assistance.
I do not see an option in the apps store. I got Cubasis LE3 with a hardware purchase. I then ‘upgraded’ to the ‘full feature set’.
So my iPad thinks I only own LE3 (with the full feature set upgrade).
The Cubasis 3 (in the app store) is there ‘for me to purchase’…seemingly as ‘starting over’ and not recognizing that I did the ‘full feature set purchase’ already.
As for not seeing the new instrument - I meant ‘IConica’, not ‘Acoustica’ as above).
But I don’t see the new Iconica Sketch as integrated into my currenlty installed Cubases 3.6.7 (as upgraded from Cubase LE3).
Note: with previous updates (e.g. 3.5. to 3.6. ect)…somehow it just magically updated itself (eventually). I don’t recall having done anything specific.
I would ‘delete the app’ and try to start over (with Cubase LE3 and then apply my ‘upgrade’) …but I fear losing all my project data and settings.
*So I guess the quesion is really this - will the 3.7 update be applied to people who purchesed the ‘full feature set upgrade’ from an LE version. When and How?
Thanks for the help!
After having purchased the “Full Feature Set IAP”, Cubasis LE 3 will have the same features as the full Cubasis 3 version. While the Cubais LE app name and icon remains unchanged, the launch screen will display “Cubasis” and you will no longer see any feature limitation notifications.
Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad has been released as a separate app release next to Cubasis 3.7 and Cubasis LE 3.7 today.
As the owner of both apps, Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad and Cubasis 3,7 (or Cubasis LE 3.7 plus the FFS IAP), you have the option to install the additional Cubasis plug-in version of Iconica (for free) via the Cubasis in-app shop.
To do so, simply launch Cubasis 3.7 (or Cubasis LE 3.7 upgraded via FFS IAP), go to the In-app shop, browse to the Iconica Sketch entry and install the content.
Thank you. I can confirm that my iPad icon still says “Cubasis LE 3”.
And that when I launch the app, the full Cubasis screen loads (saying version 3.6.7) at the bottom.
So it is not ‘automatically updating’ to 3.7.
If I go into the ‘Shop’ icon within Cubasis, it Says ‘CUBASIS Full Feature Set’ - INSTALLED
But yet my app is NOT loading 3.7.
If I click on ‘Installed’ it gives me the option to ‘Restore Purchases’ - which I have done - and it says “10 purchases were restored”.
But I am STILL on 3.6.7.
That is what I am trying to get help with. The product seems to be STUCK on 3.6.7 and I am NOT getting the 3.7 upgrade.
ADDITIONALY: I purchased Iconica and it did NOT ask me if I wanted to install something for Cubasis (as I have seem Gadget do, for example, when purchasing all of the korg module). So it seems like Iconica will not show up as an ‘instrument’ in 3.6.7 (although I do see it in AU).
thanks
