#CUBASE APP UPDATE#
The gradual improvements for AU plug-in support in each Cubasis update are great to see. Again, this ticks another familiar and useful desktop feature off the list. The other major AU-related change is support for MIDI CC control of AU effects plug-ins via external controllers (provided, of course, that your plug-ins also support it). Cubasis running on an iPad is now capable of some pretty serious recording tasks. Here's hoping that more developers follow suit and embrace the capabilities offered by the full-screen AU format. No, it's obviously not as tactile as a hardware Seaboard, but it is a lot of fun, and with more room for your fingers to work it is much easier to play. And (yay!) this includes a full-screen option. This gives you a touchscreen version of the innovative ROLI Seaboard as well as a neat Drum Grid visualiser.
#CUBASE APP FREE#
It certainly ought to make things easier for the user and that's easily demonstrated, because a further addition is support for the free ROLI NOISE app within Cubase. Hosts capable of full-screen AU plug-in support should make life a little easier for developers.

While we've seen lots of existing audio processing/effects apps developed for iOS AU v3, fewer of the big-hitting synths have made the transition because of their more complex UIs. Indeed, the most obvious new feature since 2.0 - support for full-screen AU plug-in displays within Cubasis - could be an important change for other iOS music app developers, particularly those with sophisticated virtual instruments in their catalogue. As AU under iOS is still to become the ubiquitous technology that AU and VST have become on the desktop, this progress is welcome. The latest of these takes us to v2.7, and as well as the usual array of maintenance-style tweaks there have been a number of new additions, many focused on AU plug-in support. Mark Wherry summarised the key developments when Cubasis v2 was released (SOS January 2017: ), but Steinberg have continued to expand the feature set with various. As the platform's capabilities have evolved with each generation of iPad, so too has Cubasis, and with appropriate external hardware (such as mics, monitors and audio interface), Cubasis running on an iPad is now capable of some pretty serious recording tasks. Steinberg's Cubasis is one of the more popular and powerful DAWs/sequencers for the iPad - and since its first release, this app has just felt 'right', striking a sensible balance between the range of features, the scaled-for-touchscreen GUI, and resource demands that are appropriate to this platform.
