Steinberg has announced a new update to its
Nuendo and Cubase digital audio workstations. The 2.2
versions of Nuendo, Cubase SX and Cubase SL will offer new
remote control features, with Cubase SX and Nuendo also
receiving three new VST plug-ins. The update for all three
programs is now available as a free download to
existing owners.
The added functionality includes improved support for
hardware controllers. New in Cubase SL, Cubase SX and
Nuendo 2.2 is support for the Mackie Control Universal
Extender units, in addition to the current support for the
main Mackie Control unit. Multiple Extender units can be
added to a Mackie Control to offer direct access to
channels in Cubase SX, Cubase SL and Nuendo.
The Generic Remote area of all three applications has also
seen an overhaul, with control for a full set of functions
now implemented in Cubase SX/SL and Nuendo, including Send
effects levels, EQ settings and plug-in parameters.
The 2.2 versions of Cubase SX and Nuendo also offer three
new VST plug-ins comprising two new virtual synthesizers
and one new VST filter effect. Monologue is a monophonic
analog synthesizer based on physical modeling technology
that offers a colorful palette of sounds for
bass, lead and sequenced sounds without straining the
computer's CPU. Embracer is a simple but powerful
polyphonic surround-capable synthesizer designed for
producing pads and accompaniment sounds in both stereo and
surround environments. The last of the trio of new plug-ins
is Tonic, a versatile and powerful analog modeling filter
effect based on the filter design of the Monologue
monophonic synthesizer. All three 2.2 versions also include
a number of minor product enhancements.
