Steinberg has announced the availability of a new update to its
Cubase 4
and
Cubase Studio 4 Music Production Systems. The 4.5 versions are
available now as a download for all registered Cubase 4 and Cubase
Studio 4 customers from the Steinberg website.
“Cubase 4.5 is an important update that expands Cubase to add even
more value for our customers,� comments Helge Vogt, Steinberg’s
Product Marketing Manager for Cubase. “With new technologies and
many under-the-hood enhancements, this update significantly
enhances Cubase as a state-of-the-art music production system, and
reflects our ongoing commitment to our customers and expanding the
world of Cubase,� Vogt adds.
The 4.5 update offers many new integrative technologies, with full
support for the upcoming Steinberg MR816 CSX/X Advanced
Integration DSP Studios and the CC121 Advanced Integration
Controller. “Software and hardware are melded together with a
FireWire I/O, a tactile controller and Steinberg’s Cubase Music
Production System forming an exciting new system that pushes back
the boundaries of what’s possible in digital audio,� says Vogt. Cubase
4.5 also offers enhanced support for the Yamaha MOTIF XS series as
well as the KX USB Music Studio series.
Cubase 4.5 also introduces VST Sound(TM), a new and improved
universal media management format that is a fundamental part of
Steinberg’s VST3 standard. Vogt comments: “To celebrate the launch
of VST Sound, Cubase 4.5 includes the VST Sound Collection Vol. 1,
offering 1.6 GB of first-class new sounds and instruments for Cubase.�
Among the 45 new instruments for HALion One is the famed S90ES
Grand by Yamaha. Cubase 4.5 also includes drums, basses, guitars
and other instruments by Sonic Reality, as well as 250 loops by Big
Fish Audio.
The update also offers full compatibility with Steinberg’s entry-level
Sequel 2 Music Creation and Performance Software as well as the
new Rock, Hip Hop and Industrial Content Sets. “This important
addition ensures compatibility across the entire range of Steinberg
production software,� Vogt adds. “For example, Cubase 4 customers
using Sequel 2 as a musical sketch pad on a mobile computer can not
only move those projects to a full-scale Cubase production
environment for further development, but they can also use the three
new Sequel 2 Content Sets for Rock, Hip Hop and Industrial to kick
start their creativity.�
