I rather like Padshop and its sonic aptitude in facilitating the creation of performable, evocative sounds, despite the dangers of cranking up the reverb and venturing into the land where dairy produce is combined with rennet and a dash of bacteria. Padshop 2 adds a second synth engine (a spectral oscillator) and over 100 new presets and samples, and you'll also get a new arpeggiator, filter, and other effects, enhanced modulation, the ability for Cubase users to now import custom samples, and the obligatory darker, 'refreshed' design, although it still looks pretty red to me.

Padshop can create complex, evolving sounds that, as the name suggests, are particularly useful when performed as pads.

Padshop 2 is the latest version of Steinberg's granular and now spectral synthesizer.Ĭubase Pro and Artist 10.5 also include the new Padshop 2 (shown above), which merges the original Padshop bundled in earlier versions of Cubase with the stand-alone Padshop Pro and adds a few new tricks. Loop effects feed the output back into the delay input, Tap effects allow you to apply difference parameters for each of the six chosen effects modules, while Post effects apply to the output of the plug-in. You can create and manipulate up to eight taps, and there are three separate effects sections - Loop, Tap and Post - each with slots for six effects modules.

What would an update to a music creation application be without a new plug-in or two? The Pro and Artist versions of Cubase 10.5 include a new multi-tap delay effect called, well, MultiTap Delay - Steinberg marketing have done it again! - which, despite the prosaic name, is a useful, fully featured, and decent-sounding addition to Cubase's included arsenal of plug-ins.Įach MultiTap Delay preset can be assigned one of five different delay characters: Digital Modern, Digital Vintage, Tape, Crazy and Custom, which is selected automatically if you adjust the parameters of another character. Still, to be fair, Cubase Pro 10.5's updated Import Tracks from Project feature represents, as I wrote in the first paragraph of this box, a dramatic improvement over what came before. You could argue that this command is still missing a few tricks, such as the ability to distinguish audio and video assets rather than copying both types of media files to the Active Project Folder. It's also possible to set the position at which Events and parts are imported, either as an absolute or relative value, or at the position of the Project Cursor. But Cubase Pro 10.5 now lets you choose what types of track data are imported, if any (as opposed to everything, as before), and these include Events and parts, channel and inspector settings, and automation. This works for all tracks enabled for import, although the track configurations need to match.Īs before, Project Settings are displayed for the source and Active Projects, and you can select whether media files should be copied to the active Project folder (and sample-rate converted if necessary) to keep everything in one place. For example, if you have a source audio track named Accents, and an audio track in the Active Project also named Accents, you can enable that track to be imported, click the Select Matching button and Cubase will automatically assign the source track to the destination of the same name. However, this process can now be automated with the new Select Matching command.

Previously, you could select New Track (which is still the default), whereupon a new track is created for the imported track, or you could pick an existing track from a pop-up menu. But one of the neatest additions is a new way to manage how source tracks are assigned to destination tracks in the Active Project. It's possible to filter the display of source tracks with a new search field, which is handy when importing from a large Project. As before, you can select of deselect all of the tracks, but now you can click on a folder to select all tracks within that folder (before deselecting individually as required), and folders can be individually expanded or collapsed. Firstly, its appearance is more elegant, with the list of source tracks in the Project to import now presented hierarchically based on the folder structure of the source Project. The Import Options window when importing tracks from another Project into the Active one is now clearer and more flexible than before.Cubase Pro's Import Tracks from Project feature has been dramatically improved in 10.5 compared with its previous incarnation in version 10.0.50 (which is the same one still featured in Nuendo 10.2).
