Steinberg Cubasis For iPad



Yes. Cubase on your iPad. Think about that for a second.

Cubasis for iPad is about as full featured as you can get on iOS and the full list of features is jaw-dropping (I suggest heading over to their website for the full rundown) but here's the key features:

  • Unlimited audio and MIDI tracks (depending on the device used)
  • Over 70 virtual instrument sounds based on HALion Sonic
  • Mixer with over 10 effect processors (insert and send effects)
  • Over 300 MIDI and audio loops
  • Virtual keyboard and virtual drum pads
  • Sample Editor and Key Editor
  • Export to Cubase, Dropbox, SoundCloud, AudioCopy & email
  • Core Audio and Core MIDI compatible hardware supported
  • Sequence other Core MIDI apps (MIDI recording only) and run Cubasis simultaneously via background audio
  • Import audio from your iTunes music library or using iTunes filesharing, use AudioPaste or set up a Wi-Fi server in Cubasis

It's very very impressive and priced accordingly. Looking at this I'm struck by the fact that the one DAW that almost seems perfectly designed for multi-touch is so far nowhere to be seen on iOS. Ableton, are you paying attention?

Get it on the App Store for AU$51.99.
