it was started that in the new update 3.8 the new piano apps were available for free to people who owned Cubasis 3. I own cubasis 3 and was charged anyway. Can someone explain?
Hi @Priest_Foust,
Could you share where you found this information?
Verve and Etude for iPhone/iPad and AUv3 are standalone piano apps available for purchase on the App Store.* If you own Cubasis for iOS and one or both of these apps, you’ll get a free Cubasis plug‑in version of the instruments.
*Android users can get Verve and Etude as an in‑app purchase in Cubasis for Android, since Android does not support AUv3 or similar standards to connect apps with each other.
Best,
Lars
I think your promotional materials are not transparent enough. There are AuV3s that offer multi-platform single license activation between iOS and Desktop, you just are not in touch or up to date.
I’d like to know where you read that, I haven’t seen that stated anywhere. If someone is giving out incorrect information that needs to be corrected.
Can you expand upon that statement please? I’m not quite sure I understand what you’re trying to say.
-
That there are multiple people here alone that believe buying the iOS instruments will give you access to them on desktop DAW. This leads me to believe the promotional materials are not clear enough, not that people lack general comprehension.

Cubasis is behind the curve, there are instruments that allow you to buy on one platform and use on all others.
Care to give any examples of iOS apps that grant you full cross platform licenses?!
The only one I know is Pianoteq…
Do you have any official Steinberg Marketing material where this is described?
I’m sorry dude, but I really don’t think that’s the case. Can you provide any examples to substantiate this. As far as I’m aware there are very few apps that are cross platform. I’d love it if there were many but, where do you think it’s unclear in the promo material? Who has been caught out by this? You’re the only person I’ve seen complain about it.
I’ve not complained about cross compatibility one time..I know they’re not cross compatible, I’m advocating for the multiple posts on the forum since these pianos have released, that are confused they cannot use them.. I also never said the marketing materials were literally Incorrect. I said that it seems consumers are finding it misleading. I also didn’t say MANY iOS apps offer cross platform, I said some.
About other cross platform licenses, it’s irrelevant to this discussion what the others are, just the fact that you know Pianoteq supports it and have for a long time, shows you it’s possible.
I have found one such complaint so far. I’d really like someone to show me the documentation or video etc that is misleading. I can’t find any myself. The problem with cross platform software is the price. For a desktop user that is used to paying a lot more for software, an iOS version would be a nice bonus for a limited amount of them. For iOS users, would they want to pay a desktop price? The model doesn’t work as much as I wish it did.
