I checked through the manual and it seems that you can now double-click to put notes in midi editor with object selection tool. To change velocity you can drag upwards or downwards. If this is true that would be great. Nothing new for automation and quick controls it seems I was really excited for those. But yeah let’s wait for the official announcement.

well well! this was also a requested feature!
basically, it’s all a part of the whole ‘smart tool’ request as implemented with S1, Ableton Live and other daws.

can you also erase a note with double clicking? altering note length while inserting a note by dragging left and right?

[Xtigma]

Oh just found another new feature, you can adjust the end of a midi note (the length) by holding down the ctrl key whilst making the note!

ok that makes 2 new features!.. woohoo

no you cant erase double clicking but you can adjust the length by holding CTRL, double checked

[blueplanet]

so eventually they implemented the smart tool request as in S1, that’s good news

from the manual:

Deleting Note Events
You can delete note events with the Erase tool, the Object Selection tool or the Drumstick tool.

PROCEDURE
• Perform one of the following actions:
•Select the Erase tool and click the event.
•Select the Object Selection tool and double-click the event.
•Select the Drumstick tool and click the event.
RESULT

if i double click a note it brings up the little white midi box for editing per note midi automation

[blueplanet]

my bad. I read the part related to the drum editor. too early to be happy!

I read on KVRaudio that at least (2) Cubase users “got a link”…

Sounds like the start of some kind of pandemic.

Another new feature seems to be a ‘profile’ manager… it seems pretty simple but might be useful for people sharing a workstation

Yes, I saw that too.
It’s a small feature, but useful sometimes…

[MERC476]

Cant wait for the official release with all the cool videos so we can truly see what new features it has cause from what im hearing/seeing, my fingers aren’t running to the shop to download.

On another note, why don’t steinberg stop making releases beginning of December and instead just drop it on Black Friday when everyone’s wallets are ready. I probably couldn’t upgrade even if i wanted to with all the bf deals I spent money on

[Hamudi2000]

I can clearly see a head rolling at asknet.com

[Xtigma]

seems if you draw a midi note with Snap turned off if you hold shift it slips the start of the note, hold alt + shift and it slips the end of the note. if you have snap on, it moves by your quantize ammount

you can also draw your cycle region in the timeline bar, and disabling + enabling cycle changes the colour of the cycle region from purple to white. you can enable cycle or disable it by clicking the timeline bar

I upgraded last night… didn’t realise it wasnt official, saw some link and thought it had been launched
bit disappointing to be honest, reminds me of the Cubase 6.5 upgrade when they added no new features just a few VST and sounds, but at least that had a couple of workflow improvements… this (from what I can see) doesn’t have any new improvements… (unless i’m missing them) will wait for the actual launch before judging, also it says build 69 built in october. so presumably this is a beta i’m running?

just for clarification… I thought this was a legitimate release, wouldn’t have ordered if I had known it was a pre release / test copy

ego te absolvo, my son.

Now we have that out of the way… can you comment on any major BUG FIXES?

[suntower]

Would you be good enough to post the Release History info? The major fixes are usually on pg 1.

I am going to presume this accidental release is the final 8.5 release from the lack of communication on the forum from Steinberg saying otherwise. If so it doesn’t sound like much of an update, there must be more to than what is being reported so far.

Come on Steinberg, as it has been accidentally leaked to the shop and a couple of people got hold of it I think at least some official statement should be made as to what is happening, your silence on the situation is a let down and a put off from actually wanting to open my wallet for a purchase when it does officially arrive.

Although at the reported accidental purchase price of 50Euro, that translates to £35UK I would happily pay that for the few improvements that have been talked about, but the price was likely an accident too and the official release will be somewhat more.

[Grim]

Err…they already released some .5 updates you know…guess what the price was

[Stephen57]

Interesting… Kind of a soft-release preview teaser thing? I hope there’s good beta-testing and alpha-testing teams working hard to make Cubase better. As it is now, the more I learn it, the more I like it.

I like upgrades that do not completely trash my previous set-ups and learning curve, which is what MS has done so many times with releases of Word and its other products. I’m hopeful that the next version will provide noticeable improvements in performance and stability; more than anything else those are what I value in audio and midi recording technology.

Looking forward to the official release.
