Cubase SX 3 announced

From Harmony Central:

...

Cubase SX3 also sees another first: implementation of the first level of Studio Connections announced this year at Frankfurt Musikmesse. Representing the first fruits of the development alliance between Steinberg and music instruments and audio hardware manufacturer Yamaha, Studio Connections technology has been incorporated into the SX 3 release, with total system Recall functionality. SX3 integrates Yamaha's Studio Manager 2 software which serves as a link between the sequencer and hardware editing components. Each editor component can be opened like a Plug-in from within Cubase SX3. Entire studio setups are saved and recalled with the project. Supported hardware currently includes Yamaha's DM2000, 01x and 02r96 mixers, as well as the Motif ES synthesizer and SPX2000 signal processor.

...
  • Audio Warp: Realtime Time Stretching and Pitch Shifting offer extensive new audio editing and processing capabilities, including ACID File support: loops automatically adopt a project's tempo; audio files can follow tempo changes in realtime.

    ...
  • External FX Plugins allow for direct integration of external hardware effects processors into the VST audio mixer. Use your favorite outboard gear just like plugins -- including automatic delay compensation
  • Extended Freeze function for virtual instruments and audio tracks with added flexibility and improved performance. Freeze virtual instruments with or without insert effects. Then automatically unload the instrument to free up RAM. Freeze audio tracks with insert effects to free up even more CPU performance.

  • A Dummy Plugin automatically replaces missing plugins when a project is transferred to a different system. This project can be saved and sent back -- the original plugins will automatically open up again.
