It features: 2 oscillators with 12 waveforms, independent envelope and tone controls, up to 32 voices of polyphony per instance dynamic width control for exciting 3D sounds and more
  • Monologue is a monophonic synth that puts little burden on the processor without sacrificing anything when it comes to sound. Great for synth lead and bass sounds this instrument features: 2 oscillators with sawtooth, square and triangle waveforms, two filters, one LFO, FX, an X/Y matrix pad for additional realtime modulation, and more

 

The 33 new effect and processing plug-ins:

Delay

  • Mono Delay - Monophonic delay processor with filter stage and tempo sync.
  • Stereo Delay - Dual-channel delay with separate and independent left and right delay stages. Features variable filters and tempo sync for each channel.
  • Ping Pong Delay - A mono delay with automatic L/R bounce for the classic ping-pong delay effect. Also features a filter stage and tempo sync.
  • Mod Machine - A powerful multi-stage delay/modulation effect (see diagram for signal flow). Combines a wide-range delay with LFO controlled delay time, as well as a resonant filter with dual LFOs for frequency and resonance modulation. The filter can either be inserted into the output stage or into a delay feedback loop. A "Spacial" parameter controls the modulation offset between channels.

Distortion

  • Tone Booster - Simple volume booster with a variable filter stage for tone control. Simulates classic stomp boxes like Range Booster. Very useful in combination with AmpSimulator to adjust output volume from low-level output instruments.
  • Amp Simulator - Guitar amp simulation with speaker simulation. Features various amp and cabinet models to chose from. Additional controls resemble a classic guitar combo. Also suitable for bass. May be used in combination with the "ToneBooster" if the guitar lacks output gain.
  • Soft Clipper - Soft clipping with independent 2nd and 3rd harmonics controls.

Dynamics

  • Compressor - Classic compressor with auto release, auto make-up gain, hard/soft knee, RMS/Peak, and "Live" mode which disables look-ahead for low latency use.
  • Expander - Classic expander; also features auto-release and "Live" mode for low latency use.
  • Gate - Flexible gate with independent attack and release controls, auto-release, a sidechain input filter for ducking effects, as well as a "live" mode for low-latency use.
  • Maximizer - Hard limiter/loudness enhancer for master channel; features soft clipping and automatic attack/release.
  • EnvelopeShaper - Envelope Shaper. Manipulates the transients of ideally percussive input signals; offers variable attack gain and length, as well as release gain controls.
  • VST Dynamics - This is the VST3 version of the classic VST Dynamics multi-effect plug-in. Combines Compressor, Gate, Limiter and Soft Clipper with flexible routing capabilities.
  • VintageCompressor - Modeled after one of the most famous vintage compressors. Easy to use but very effective.
  • MultibandCompressor - The new Multi-Band Compressor features four independent bands with three crossover-frequencies. Each band has its own independent compressor (with Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release und Makeup Gain); it features independent Solo and Bypass per band, and auto mode for automatic attack/release control. Each compressor band has an independent automatic make-up gain.

EQ

  • StudioEQ - This powerful and versatile equalizer offers full four-band parametric control with variable response curves and shelving modes, as well as analog-style peak filters. The new EQ types are also available in Cubase 4!s new channel EQ.
  • GEQ10 - Graphic Equalizer with 10 bands; features drawing of EQ curves, an invert parameter, and seven different response types. Also features a global range control for overall amount of equalization.
  • GEQ30 - Graphic Equalizer with 30 bands; features drawing of EQ curves, an invert parameter, and seven different response types. Also features a global range control for overall amount of equalization.

Filter

  • WahWah - Typical wah-wah pedal modeling effect - lets you emulate your favorite wah-wah pedals. Features parameters for frequency-range, filter-width, and gain range.

Modulation

  • StudioChorus - Powerful dual-stage chorus with two identical stages running in serial; each stage also features a filter stage and a spacial parameter which creates modulation offsets between channels, also in surround configurations.
  • Flanger - Powerful flanger with editable Lo/Hi Range, a filter stage, manual mode and a "spacial" parameter for multi-channel modulation offsets.
  • Phaser - Classic phaser with variable filter stage, manual mode, tempo sync and a "spacial" parameter for multi-channel modulation offsets.
  • Tremolo - Classic tremolo effect with optional tempo sync and a "spacial" parameter to add multichannel modulation offsets.
  • Vibrato - Classic vibrato effect with optional tempo sync and a "spacial" parameter to add multichannel modulation offsets.
  • AutoPan - Automatic panning effect with adjustable width, rate, two waveshapes; features tempo sync.
  • Cloner - The Cloner simulates the effect of double- tracking by creating up to four "cloned" signals from the original input source. Cloned signals have variable delay, detune and panning, Very useful - not only for creating thick backing vocal performances from single tracks.
  • Rotary - Rotor speaker cabinet effect with very powerful editing capabilities. Features independent Lo/Hi cabinet control, overdrive, slow/fast/stop modes.

Spacial

  • MonoToStereo - Can create a pseudo-stereo signal from any mono source. Also includes controls for "color" and "delay".
  • StereoEnhancer - Can enhance the stereo width of a stereo input signal. Features controls for "color" and "delay" to further enhance the effect.

Reverb

  • RoomWorksSE - A new "light" version of Steinberg's appraised Roomworks reverb. Great sound - low on CPU load.

Other

  • Octaver - Sub-octave pitch shifter creates two additional signals, one and two octaves below the input signal, each with variable level.
  • Tuner - Instrument tuner plug-in.
