Extended information

At the heart of MIDI sequencing in Cubase is the Key Editor: a breathtakingly powerful yet transparent tool which offers functional wealth that opens up virtually limitless possibilities for songwriters and composers. This is where melodies, chords, arrangements and performances take shape, and where ideas are sketched out, developed and taken to their full potential. Entering, cutting, moving and transposing individual notes or whole chords, editing any of the hundreds of MIDI parameters available or reworking even the most subtle nuances of a MIDI performance are just some of the tasks for which the Key Editor has been developed and refined continuously by Steinberg for over two decades. The Key Editor’s Inspector provides smooth and intuitive access to the most important MIDI tools and functions, including Quantize, Transpose, Length and many more in one central spot.

Mix like professionals
With 24 physical inputs and outputs, 8 insert effect slots per channel, 8 FX send and return channels as well as 16 groups/busses and an unrivaled routing between audio channels, busses, groups and FX returns mean that Cubase Elements 6 is fully equipped to master even demanding situations, like the recording of a whole band. The system-wide automatic latency compensation synchronizes all audio streams in your system automatically.
