Create Melodies and Rhythms with the Pattern Sequencer
Cubase 15 expands the Pattern Editor with a melodic sequencer designed for bass lines, leads, chords, arpeggios, and other musical ideas. Producers can work in monophonic or polyphonic modes, enter notes step by step, apply custom scales, generate shapes, and use randomization controls to create variations.
Separate and Reshape Recorded Audio
The stem separation function can divide mixed audio into individual parts, making it easier to prepare remixes, samples, arrangements, and editing projects. WaveLab Go is integrated through ARA and provides additional tools for detailed audio editing, repair, and analysis without leaving the Cubase workflow.
Control Instruments and Orchestral Articulations
The redesigned Expression Maps system simplifies the setup and management of instrument articulations. Its integration with the Key Editor and Score Editor helps composers control playing techniques, while attack compensation supports more natural transitions between different articulations.
Shape Sound and Build Polished Mixes
Cubase 15 includes new sound-processing and modulation options for both corrective and creative work. UltraShaper combines dynamics control, transient shaping, limiting, and EQ, while PitchShifter provides real-time pitch adjustment, formant preservation, stereo processing, and creative saturation options. New modulators further expand the possibilities for animated and evolving sounds.
Streamline Complex Production Sessions
Workflow improvements help users manage projects, automation, routing, and exports more efficiently. Folder tracks can work with summing group channels, Quick Export accelerates audio rendering, and improved video export supports multiple resolutions, including 4K and Full HD. The redesigned Cubase Hub also makes projects, templates, audio settings, and learning resources easier to access.
