Steinberg Cubasis 3.7 & Iconica Sketch
Steinberg has today announced the immediate availability of Cubasis 3.7, the latest update to its award-winning Cubasis 3 app, alongside Iconica Sketch for iPhone and iPad, the first app-based version of its renowned orchestra instrument. Cubase 3.7 adds enhanced tempo and time signature support, plus new sounds, while Iconica Sketch for iPhone and iPad is an entire 34 instrument orchestra with multiple articulations.
The latest version of Cubasis 3 lets users capture ideas and turn them into exceptional-sounding tracks, thanks to its improved support for tempo and time signatures. Music can be created in 3/4, 7/8, 15/16 or any other time signature, no matter how complex or unusual. Multiple tempo and time signature changes or ramps can be included in a few simple steps. Also in Cubasis 3.7, the FM Classics IAP adds the free DX7 voice ROM 101~106 update. This includes 384 keyboard, synthesizer, plucked/tuned percussion, wind instrument, sustain and sound effect patches, letting users carry even more classic 1980s Yamaha DX7 and TX81Z sounds with them.
Iconica Sketch for iPhone and iPad is a brand-new iOS/iPadOS app, which can be used with every Audio Unit-compatible mobile DAW app. Featuring an orchestra with 34 different instruments and 140 articulations, it is very simple to use. Its Adaptive True Legato system intelligently adjusts to the playing speed, ensuring a highly expressive, authentic performance, allowing even the most inexperienced orchestrators to create masterpieces in sparkling audio quality. Users who own both Cubasis and Iconica Sketch benefit from a free additional plug-in version of the instrument, for improved integration and maximum performance. For Android users, Iconica Sketch is available as in-app purchase in the Android version of Cubasis.
“We are thrilled to close 2024 on a high note with a few major milestones. We’ve fulfilled a long-standing user request by introducing tempo and signature track support to Cubasis 3.7.
