New Features
Courtesy of terrific new features such as Audio Warp real-time time-stretching, the Play Order Track for pattern-based arranging, freely configurable Workspaces and the convenient Inplace editor, working with Cubase SX3 is even more intuitive and efficient than ever before. What’s more, external audio and MIDI hardware integrates seamlessly. Cubase SX3 takes Virtual Studio Technology a step up the evolutionary ladder.
Studio Connections Phase II: Audio Integration
Cubase SX 3.1 takes Steinberg and Yamaha’s joint Studio Connections standard to the next level: Alongside total recall, it now offers full audio integration for your instruments. Compatible Yamaha sound generators such as the Yamaha Motif ES synthesizer may be integrated, monitored in the Mixer and edited directly via StudioManager panels – just like VST instruments.
Seamless Integration of External Instruments
Cubase SX 3.1 does for hardware sound generators what Cubase SX 3.0 did for external effect devices. Simply connect your external instrument to your audio hardware and you can use it conveniently as a VST instrument. Simply load it to the VST instrument’s rack, mix it with the Mixer, patch it through plug-ins, and use the Freeze function at will.
External FX MIDI Integration
External MIDI-enabled effect devices may be integrated as external plug-ins and be employed in Cubase SX 3.1 as MIDI devices. This lets you edit the given parameters right in the program.
Automatic Latency Compensation for External Hardware
Fully automatic latency compensation for plug-ins was one of the sensational innovations in Cubase SX2. With Version 3.1, this feature now ensures tight timing for external sound generators and effect devices that are integrated as plug-ins.
Support for Nuendo Dolby Digital and DTS Encoders
Cubase SX now also supports Steinberg’s optionally available Surround encoders and lets you export projects in professional Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel formats.
MIDI Track Parameter Definition
MIDI track parameters defined in the Inspector - for example, program, transpose or velocity and length compression - can now be converted into real MIDI events using the Define track parameter command. This function also works with MIDI insert effects so that a single click is all it takes to do things like insert a computer-generated arpeggio into the track.
New Equal Power Panorama Knob
The new Equal Power panner automatically balances out the differences in level resulting from panorama position changes and enables smooth pan sweeps across the stereo or Surround image.
Enhanced Mixer Handling
With an enhanced copy function for mixer channels and more than 50 new keyboard shortcuts for controlling the Mixer, mixing in Cubase SX 3.1 is even faster and more convenient.
Extended Archiving Function
Cubase SX/SL 3.1 offers even more versatile archiving options. Now you can opt to import individual tracks from an archive. Moreover, when you’re exporting, you can choose to create links to audio files rather than copying the actual files.
Extended Multiprocessing
Cubase SX and Cubase SL Versions 3.1 are tweaked to take advantage of the added power provided by systems with more than two processors, including the latest DualCore processors from AMD and Intel. In practice, this means you enjoy considerably more powerful performance. That means you can use scores of plug-ins and VST instruments simultaneously.
New Features in Cubase SX3
Audio Warp
Audio Warp enables time-stretching and pitch-shifting in real time with lots of new audio processing options, including ACID® file support: Loops adapt automatically to the song tempo, and audio files follow tempo changes in real time. New recordings’ tempo and key can be changed immediately without converting them first.
Studio Connections “Total Recall”
Studio Connections Total Recall (optional integration of the Yamaha Studio Manager 2) is ushering in a new era in software and hardware integration. This modular editing system closes the gap between the virtual and the physical studio. Now when you open a project, you can recall all the settings of the entire studio in a matter of seconds.
Play Order Track
The intuitive Play Order Track for pattern-based arranging sets new standards in creative music production. Simply divide your song into sections to make arranging very, very simple. You can compare different versions of your song – a click is all it takes to convert it to the linear form for mixdown and mastering. In addition, you can store different versions of a song within the project without sacrificing the original version.
External FX Plug-ins
External FX plug-ins enable you to integrate digital or analog hardware effect devices directly into the Audio VST Mixer. Now you can use your favorite hardware as a plug-in - of course, with automatic latency compensation.
Inplace Editor
The new Inplace editor lets you quickly edit MIDI events right in the Project window. Now you’ll find it even easier to adapt your MIDI events to match your audio or video tracks.
Freely Configurable Workspaces
The new Workspaces (window layouts) help you organize your user panel. You can create and save different panels for every step of your production. And you can simply change the Workspace view when you wish to work with several computers and monitors.
MIDI-Device Maps/Panels
New MIDI Devices Maps/Panels afford you direct access to external MIDI hardware via freely definable graphical knobs. You can import predefined graphical VST Mixer maps or create your own user interface, even in the Track Inspector and the mixer channel strip. Example panels for various popular devices are already included, with more available for free downloading from the registered customer support pages.
Extended Freeze Function
The Freeze function for virtual instruments and audio tracks is on board to boost flexibility and performance. You can use Freeze for VST instruments with or without insert effects and conserve computing power by automatically deactivating the instrument. Moreover, you can freeze audio tracks with insert effects in order to free up even more CPU performance.
Color Coding
User-defined color-coding of tracks and mixer channels enhances clarity in complex projects.
Part-based Volume Envelopes
With the new part-based volume envelopes, you can eliminate local differences in volume without changing the actual automation track, as well as move events along with their volume envelopes.
