Why I, personally, like this External Instrument function is when it is combined with the FW16E (FireWire option) it gives you the most flexibility when it comes to audio routing/recording decisions. This means you can use track automation, Audio Mixdown and the FREEZE function (although it takes place in real time) that until now were just available for VSTi soft-synths created within the computer or by using the Motif XF's EDITOR VST. It allows you to create an audio pathway in the DAW so that you can address your external hardware with the same ease and flexibility you do VSTi within the computer environment. This is found in DEVICES > VST CONNECTIONS as one of the tabs. The full version of Cubase has the ability to setup your hardware synthesizer as an “EXTERNAL INSTRUMENT”. see separate article (“IMPORT > Motif XF SONG”. Cubase can import SONG data from within an ALL data file). That is, if you originally recorded the data in the Motif XF sequencer, you will want to transfer that data so that the MIDI tracks are in Cubase. The source MIDI tracks for the External Instrument must be in CUBASE. (And although this article and it screen shots show the Motif XF (keyboard), the same can be used to configure the Motif-Rack XS or the Motif XS, using its dedicated Editor and/or the MIDI DEVICE MANAGER. This is covered in the Steinberg documentation - I have included it below updated with specifics to help you setup for the Motif XF. (Of course, this all takes place with Cubase's advanced delay compensation, automatically). The External Instrument function is a VST CONNECTIONS feature found in the top-of-the-line version of Cubase series (Cubase 5, Cubase 6, and/or Cubase 7, 7.5) that allows you to route MIDI tracks played back from Cubase to an external hardware synthesizer, and then create a MIDI Device routing so that the returning audio of that external device can be captured in Cubase via the Virtual Studio Technology. Barry has his own futuristic music mixing facility and also teaches recording engineering at Musician’s Institute, Hollywood, CA.If you have the full version of Cubase, here you will learn how there are even more advanced routing features available. He has recorded and/or mixed: Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hall & Oates, Pat Benatar, Rod Stewart, the Corrs and Robbie Nevil.

Cubase 7 sells for $599.99 and Cubase Artist 7, at $329.99, is cross-platform and runs 32/64- bit for Windows and Mac OS X Intel. Steinberg also announced Nuendo 6, sharing many of the same great improvements now available in Cubase 7. There are many new samples, instruments, and MIDI loops for HALion Sonic SE, Goove Agent and Beat Designer products. Changes in Chord Track can change the harmonic content of both MIDI sequences as well as audio tracks that have already been analyzed with VariAudio.Ĭhord Assistant comes with Cubase 7 and provides the ultimate tool for songwriters looking for just the right chord and/or suggesting harmonically related chord progressions. On the music composing side is Chord Track, a dedicated track within the Project window that identifies the music’s harmony structure and generates metadata about chord quality and scale. There is also VST Connect SE for Internet recording sessions and the latest version of MixConvert for high quality down mixing of multi-channel surround sound mixes. You get Voxengo’s studio-grade 64-band spline CurveEQ, a large, built-in mix bus meter with a choice of various standards including Europe’s EBU R128 loudness for broadcasters as well as Bob Katz’s K-System metering. The channel strips have high and low-pass filters, a noise gate, four-band StudioEQ, three different compressors, a spectrum analyzer, tube/ tape saturation section, a brick wall limiter and a maximizer. MixConsole is laid out and looks like a beautiful, easy on the eyes analog audio console mixer. The Channel Settings window specifies channel/track order for the all-new channel strip. The significant new features for both Cubase 7 and Cubase Artist 7 are the completely redesigned MixConsole mixers.
