Steinberg to Ship Cubase VST/24 4.0 in June

AES, Amsterdam - Steinberg strikes again! A combination of fast development, available high quality digital hardware and the desire to bring the very best to the user as soon as possible has culminated in the unveiling of the next generation of Cubase Native Audio Processing and MIDI sequencing technology for Power Macintosh.

Optimised for the high level performance of the current G3 systems, Steinberg has worked closely with Apple to get the very best from the system in order to meet the highest demands of pro audio professionals.

Cubase VST/24 4.0 offers 96 Tracks of digital audio in 24 bit, 96kHz quality with each channel able to utilise up to 4 bands of brand new hi-end EQ for maximum dynamic range and subtle sound design.

Recordings can be shaped with up to four PlugIn inserts per channel, plus 8 Aux sends for addressing up to 8 effects or PlugIns in the Aux Effects rack. The new group mixers offer 4 insert slots for effects and PlugIns allowing easy grouping whilst at the same time providing a good general overview of the production process. The master section offers bussing to the individual outputs of a wide range of supported digital audio cards like the Korg 1212, Sonorus STUD I/O, Lexicon Studio, Yamaha's DSP Factory etc.

The internal resolution has been increased to stunning 15360 ppqn (pulses per quarter note) for accurate, sample precise cutting of audio segments.

These are some general technological facts. But the true revolution hides in the details of the program. These include a whole host of MIDI and Audio editing functions, including a controller editor for detailed editing of almost any parameter of your recordings, a new MIDI-Track mixer and Drag and Drop throughout the entire program for both audio parts and MIDI-Events. The scoring section has another major upgrade including enhanced layout options, symbol palettes, new ways of inputting lyrics, choice of notation styles, plus a variety of preferences which can be set up in advance for faster working Cubase VST/24 4.0 is shipping after AES in June 98 and is available from any Steinberg Dealer worldwide.
