March 3, 1999 -- The upcoming version of Cubase VST for Macintosh incorporates the new VST 2.0 Plug-In interface, enabling software synthesizers and software samplers in Plug-In format to be integrated into the VST architecture. VST 2.0 compatible PlugIns then also can be controlled in realtime via MIDI-controls and utilize multiple Audio I/Os if available.

With ASIO 2.0 now all the compatible drivers can provide direct hardware monitoring with zero latency and multi application support. The new ASIO Positioning Protocol allows source and destination device to sync with sample accuracy.

The VST Channel Views Menu now allows the user to select and specify which VST Mixer channels will be visible. The Channel View helps to organize the virtual studio for certain production situations: The number of used VST channels, Submixers, Synth-, Sampler- and Rebirth-Channels.

In addition, the Cubase VST/24 Mixer/EQ section includes an extension with 5 new real-time processing modules - Compressor, Limiter, Auto Gate, Auto Limit and a Soft Clip. To make the virtual studio environment even more user-friendly, a number of VST elements can now be controlled remotely via external devices such as the Yamaha 01-V.

Cubase VST/24 4.1 for Macintosh also supports the entire functionality of Yamaha's DSP Factory Audio Card. Users will experienced the same complete integration of every single DSP Factory feature as offered in the highly acclaimed Cubase VST/24 3.6 for Windows. The entire VST architecture is available for use with all the DSP Factory's effects at the same time, giving the user an incredible set of processing and expansion possibilities.

Steinberg is showing the new Cubase 4.1 with TDM support for PCI Macintosh. The new TDM version will be included in the Cubase VST/24 for Macintosh packages as additional, self contained application. Cubase 4.1 supports the entire feature set of all PCI-based Pro Tools systems as there is Pro Tools III, Pro Tools 24, Pro Tools Mix and Pro Tools Mix Plus. Cubase 4.1 TDM does not support the VST architecture.

The update to Cubase VST 4.1 will be free of charge, and downloadable via Internet. Customers who don't have Internet access can obtain a Cubase VST 4.1 CD ROM for a nominal fee. Available during Q2, 1999.

Cubase 4.1 TDM will be integrated into the Cubase VST/24 Package after Q2, 1999. There is no additional charge for Cubase 4.1 TDM.
