32-bit/96kHz technology and use a fresh crop of VST3 plug-ins to

make sure you always sound your best in Cubase 5. For those of us
working with loops and beat creation, there are plenty of tools
onboard. This just scratches the surface, so keep reading for the scoop
on Cubase 5!
MIDI/Compositional Tools
Intuitive music notation and professional MIDI sequencing has never
been easier in Cubase! Cubase 5 includes one of the most intuitive MIDI
sequencers available. The Key Editor is a breathtakingly powerful yet
transparent tool where melodies, chords, arrangements, and performances
take shape, and where ideas are sketched out, developed and taken to
their full potential. The Score Editor is a full notation environment
completely integrated within Cubase and lets you view your music in the
form of scores. Thanks to the full Music XML Import/Export support,
even exchanging scores with other notation packages is only a matter of
seconds.
VST Expression
With Cubase 5, Steinberg has innovated even further to offer even more
creative compositional tools. The VST Expression feature revolutionizes
working with instrument articulations. VST Expression allows seamless,
transparent, and most importantly integrated editing of articulations,
with full control over multiple articulations in the Key and Score
Editors. Articulations noted in the Score Editor can be played back
immediately by sample-based orchestra libraries - in real time.
Next-generation audio engine
The Cubase audio engine delivers a crystal-clear 32-bit floating-point
resolution and 96kHz sample rate for optimal sound quality. The
next-generation audio engine includes true surround capability
throughout, with each track and channel offering up to six discreet
channels, ready for 5.1 surround. Steinberg's VST3 standard is also
supported by Cubase 5, with many additional features including dynamic
I/O assignment for plug-ins that automatically adapts to the track or
mixer channel the plug-in is inserted on. Cubase 5 also offers many
recording features such as Retrospective Record, which means that no
take ever gets lost because record mode wasn't engaged in time.
Sample Editor
The Cubase Sample Editor allows you almost limitless creative freedom
while editing audio. A full editing toolset offers a huge range of
functions that not only cover common editing tasks right down to the
sample level. The Cubase 5 loop functions are a boon for anyone using
loops in their project, including fully automatic Hitpoint recognition
and the extensive yet intuitive Audio Warp tools.
Whether you want to adapt drum loops to the song tempo, transpose and
time-stretch instruments or analyze and directly edit notes of
monophonic vocal recordings with the new VariAudio technology, apply
any of the myriad audio processes or the included next-generation VST3
plug-ins. Editing audio material is a non-destructive operation - all
edits are stored in the Task List and can be undone at any time. In
addition, an offline process history lets you remove, replace and edit
every effect added to an audio file in the course of processing. Cubase
5 is the complete production environment for fast, intuitive and
qualitatively outstanding audio tools that allow you to manipulate
audio in almost any way imaginable.
Control Room
The Cubase 5 Control Room is a powerful recording and monitoring
environment with custom busses and setups for up to four studio sends
for performers, full talkback and metronome integration, custom
monitor, setups and much more. The Control Room section is a unique
recording and monitoring environment seamlessly integrating performer
mixes and monitoring setups into your recording and mixing workflow.
Control and switch between several different speaker setups in
different configurations on the fly, create and manage up to four
unique studio mixes feeding performers their own tailored mix, use the
integrated Talkback function, manage audio sources feeding from tape,
CD or DVD - all from one easy-to-use panel. And in conjunction with
Steinberg's MR816 CSX/X Advanced Integration DSP Studio FireWire
interfaces, the Control Room offers latency-free recording completely
integrated into the Cubase mixer and Control Room panels, with no need
to use an additional mixing application.

processors, including EQ, Dynamics, Modulation, Reverb, Filters,
Distortion and special effects. Together with the also included "Legacy
