Hi Matthias, thanks for the heads up, and congrats for the new version
Can I ask if it is any hope for long awaited features like the smart tool, enhanced midi editing like midi bezier curves and a smart quantize function.

I believe that in recent times Steinberg has been turning away from composers to focus more on producers. And features that would make our daily work more easier are put on hold, to accomodate for loops or chord pads.
So, summing up, can you tell us if those features are coming soon?:
Smart tool
Midi editing enhancement (bezier curves and smart quantize)

Both requests are on our to do list. But I cannot make any statements about future releases.

Well, I’m one of those who think that Cubase became more Audio and Lame composers, and electronic music producers oriented… Seems that really needed things for real music composing are somehow abandoned… There is only one real improvement for the film music composers…
Many times I have asked about improvements in the following areas:

1. The Score Editor needs huge improvement, cause it looks and works like stone age tool. I gave many good examples with Sonic Scores’ - Overture 5.5 and Logic Pro X - Score Editor…
   1.1 The Score Editor needs totally re-organized tool panels, nicer looking notes, etc… Option to switch between MIDI mockup dependency and independence /in order to have properly looking notes with no affect on the humanized playback of the MIDI/.
   Well, in Cubase we don’t need Engraving tools… But surely we need Fully functional Score Editor which can bring us much faster workflow.

2. Expression Maps… also needs huge improvement for faster and easier mapping… like direct expressions, articulations and techniques mapping - exists in Overture 5.5
   2.1 The range оф expressions, articulations and techniques symbols in Cubase is very limited and needs to be extended.
   2.2 The expressions, articulations and techniques symbols, and text must look normally like in any Notation program…

3. Multiple Library patches into single Midi Track/Instrument… For example Violins 1 in Kontakt… Would be nice if we can load all available patches with techniques, articulations and expressions into single Kontakt instance and use them in single Midi Track, just like in the Score Sheet
   At the moment the only easier and faster way is to create separate MIDI track per library patch… But this is terrible way if have to Export the project import it into Notation Software like Dorico, Overture, Sibelius, Finale…
   
   
   All these 3 main points above are connected to each other…

At this stage The Score Editor and the Expression Maps are kind of useless features. They are much more distractable than helpful, because so much tech work is needed…

Looooong time I haven’t seen any noticeable improvement in this direction… I’ve seen that Dorico implementing the same useless Expression Maps…

Greetings

We hear you. A couple of weeks ago we visited several TV/movie composers to collect their feedback and discuss the future direction. There will more coming in the next versions.
