I just downloaded Cubasis as it looks way better than GarageBand and I wanted a fully featured DAW on my iPad.
Is there something I’m missing? I can’t seem to see a way to filter or search for instruments. Surely I don’t have to scroll through them.
Hi gordonrobb,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for your report!
To get familiar with Cubasis, please have a look if our available Getting started with Cubasis is of any help for you!
While Cubasis does not have a dedicated instrument search function, the internal instruments presets come with a dedicated instrument category button (e.g. a piano icon). Alongside, the presets include a short phrase which can be played back via enabling the “Autoplay” function.
These are the exact steps:
- Go to Media/Instruments
- Double tap on an instrument (e.g. “Microsonic”
- Select a preset via tap, and tap the “Autoplay” button
If you find a preset that you like, a double tap on it will load the associated instrument to a new track in the Arrange Window.
Hope that helps!
Best wishes
& stay well,
Lars
Yeh, thanks. That’s what I’d been doing. I just wondered if, form within that list there was a way to search ‘bass’ for example and reduce the scrolling. No worries though. I’ll probably build up some of my favourite presets.
