March 3, 1999The upcoming version of Cubase VST for Macintosh incorporates the new VST 2.0
Plug-In interface, enabling software synthesizers and software samplers in Plug-In
format to be integrated into the VST architecture. VST 2.0 compatible PlugIns
then also can be controlled in realtime via MIDI-controls and utilize multiple
Audio I/Os if available.
With ASIO 2.0 now all the compatible drivers can provide direct hardware monitoring
with zero latency and multi application support. The new ASIO Positioning Protocol
allows source and destination device to sync with sample accuracy.
The VST Channel Views Menu now allows the user to select and specify which
VST Mixer channels will be visible. The Channel View helps to organize the
virtual studio for certain production situations: The number of used VST channels,
Submixers, Synth-, Sampler- and Rebirth-Channels.
In addition, the Cubase VST/24 Mixer/EQ section includes an extension with 5
new real-time processing modules - Compressor, Limiter, Auto Gate, Auto Limit
and a Soft Clip. To make the virtual studio environment even more user-friendly,
a number of VST elements can now be controlled remotely via external devices
such as the Yamaha 01-V.
Cubase VST/24 4.1 for Macintosh also supports the entire functionality of Yamaha's
DSP Factory Audio Card. Users will experienced the same complete integration
of every single DSP Factory feature as offered in the highly acclaimed Cubase
VST/24 3.6 for Windows. The entire VST architecture is available for use with
all the DSP Factory's effects at the same time, giving the user an incredible
set of processing and expansion possibilities.
Steinberg is showing the new Cubase 4.1 with TDM support for PCI Macintosh.
The new TDM version will be included in the Cubase VST/24 for Macintosh packages
as additional, self contained application. Cubase 4.1 supports the entire feature
set of all PCI-based Pro Tools systems as there is Pro Tools III, Pro Tools
24, Pro Tools Mix and Pro Tools Mix Plus. Cubase 4.1 TDM does not support the
VST architecture.
The update to Cubase VST 4.1 will be free of charge, and downloadable via Internet.
Customers who don't have Internet access can obtain a Cubase VST 4.1 CD ROM
for a nominal fee. Available during Q2, 1999.
