May 16th, 2013Improvements:
MixConsole improvements:
Visibility improvements:
· Better overall visibility of several icons and buttons as well as improved text readability of several parameters and values. The MixConsole focus indicator (white rectange) has been softened for being easier on the eyes.
Exclusive mode for channel strip modules:
· Individual channel strip modules can now be shown in exclusive mode to improve overview on small monitors. Exclusive Mode is accessed with the menu button beside the Racks button in the MixConosle toolbar then select "Show One Channel Strip Type".
New loudness meter options:
· Loudness meter settings can now be stored/recalled as presets. There are new options to set the true peak value lower than -6 dB and to freely define the reference level (to allow for non-EBU specification).
Chord Track improvements:
PitchCorrect Chord Track integration:
· The PitchCorrect plug-in can be now set up to use the Chord and Scale information in realtime from the Chord track in a project. To do so, load PitchCorrect on the desired audio track and set the Scale Source to “Chord Track – Chords”, then create a MIDI track and set its output to PitchCorrect in order to pass on the Chord/Scale events.
Improved Make Chords function:
· The Make Chords function (Project > Make Chords) now offers two new options: If “Detect Arpeggios” is enabled, there is a great improvement in how arpeggiated notes are interpretedas Chords. Additionally, you can enable the “Interpret Sustain Pedal” option which takes care of finding Chords by notes played within an opened Sustain Pedal phase.
Text Input for Chords:
· It is now possible to create chord events by entering text when using the Chord Editor. Using the tab key you can create a row of chords events in quick succession, which is ideal if you input chords from a lead sheet.
Chord Track preference "Hide muted Notes in Editors":
· This new preference controls if events should be hidden from the MIDI Editor displays instead of just showing them as muted notes on MIDI/Instrument tracks that follow the Chord track. In case they can not be properly mapped according to the used "Follow Chord Track" mode. You can find this preference in the section "Editing > Chords".
MIDI improvements:
New MIDI Reverse function Mirror:
· This function visually mirrors MIDI events in a Part and can be used as an alternative way of reversing a MIDI phrase in case the Reverse function does not create the desired result.
Adding a new MIDI track with increased channel:
· When adding a new MIDI track via the Add track window, the newly created track will use the MIDI port from a selected MIDI channel and increases the channel number automatically.
Import Karaoke Lyrics as Text:
· This new MIDI File Import preference controls whether karaoke text (lyrics) are imported from a MIDI file as SMF- Karaoke (SMF-Event #5) or converted to "Text"-Events. SMF-Karaoke events can be viewed in the List-, but not in the Score Editor. "Text"-Events can be edited in List- and the Score Editor. "Lyrics" (SMF 5, "Karaoke") will be displayed in italic, while "Text" (SMF 1) will be displayed in bold. "Text", that is imported from a MIDI file and has been SMF-Karaoke before, will be exported as SMF-Karaoke when exporting that project to a MIDI file again.
Audio improvements:
ASIO Driver Setup wizard:
· This new dialog provides information to help select the relevant drivers of the audio hardware connected without the need to open the Device Setup window. The dialog pops-up on first program launch or after a new ASIO driver hardware has been installed or connected to the computer.
VST Connection Helper:
· If no input- and output busses as well as "Studio" monitors have been setup in the VST Connections, an orange warning showing "Not Connected" will be displayed in the Status Line of the project window. When clicking at this notification, the VST Connections window opens to define the audio hardware ports for the audio input- and output busses. This helps to avoid the situation "Cubase is playing back, but I can't hear anything".
Mute VariAudio segments:
· In Pitch & Warp mode, each VariAudio segment includes a mute (X) symbol now. With this symbol, you can mute individual note segments. The mute state can also be applied for multiple selected notes via the mute key command [Alt+M].
Other improvements:
Return of the colour tool:
· The Color Tool is now available again in the toolbar!
Handling of track pictures:
· The track pictures browser now opens by double clicking the track pictures field.
Paste Relative to Cursor:
· This new command pastes multiple objects while keeping their relative position to the project cursor. You can find it in the menu ""Edit > Function > ""Paste Relative to Cursor"". The Key-Command is [SHIFT+V] is assigned by default.
Improved vertical Zooming:
· When zooming vertically in the Project window the zoom behaviour now respects your track selection, trying to keep the tracks as stable as possible in the view. If events are selected, vertical zooming will focus around the event selection instead. Vertical zooming in the Key / Drum Editor works in a similar way, either trying to keep all the MIDI events centered in the view or with focus on selected events first.
Improved Track/Channel Search:
· The Track/Channel Search function has been improved for use with folder tracks and is now also available as a key command.
Faster Project load times:
· Projects using a large number of plug-ins are now loaded significantly faster.
