Cubase SX3 Update Adds New Reverb Plug-In
December 17, 2004
Steinberg Media Technologies
GmbH announced the availability of the first update to its
Cubase SX3 music production system. Including new features and a
new reverb virtual effect processor, Cubase SX3.0.1 is
available now for download from Steinberg's web site.
Among the new features in the update to version 3.0.1 is the new
RoomWorks reverb plug-in. This fully surround-capable
reverb allows Cubase SX3.0.1 users to scale the CPU
efficiency of the plug-in. While RoomWorks' dense
reverb provides high-quality rooms and spaces for just about any
conceivable use, it can also be used effectively even when CPU load
for a project is already high. Its user interface also offers
built-in contextual help, and the preset library offers over 60
predefined virtual spaces.
With Cubase SX3.0.1, the MIDI device panels system is now
also available for editing effect plug-ins in audio channels as well as
VST instruments, making any parameters of those objects instantly
accessible not only in the Project Window, but also on the appropriate
channel mixer strip and the track inspector through user-defined
panels. Cubase SX3.0.1 also expands the concept of full automatic
plug-in delay compensation to include external effects loops as well. A
unique new "ping" button can be used to measure the processing delay
of any external effects device and automatically set the corresponding
delay parameter for automatic compensation. Now automatic sample-accurate timing is now possible even in complex
software/hardware systems where plug-ins and hardware effects work
side by side.
The master output level display on the Cubase SX3.0.1 Transport Bar
has been fitted with an overload indicator, allowing the user to check
with a single glance at the Transport Bar if the audio output has
exceeded 0db.
Cubase SX3.0.1 is now available for download to all Cubase SX3
customers from the Steinberg website. For more information, visit their web site at www.steinberg.net. |
