Changes Cubase SX 2.0.2 to Cubase SX 2.2.

0
New features:

- Support for Mackie Control and Mackie Control XT units in Cubase SX 2.x and Nuendo 2.x:
The support covers the extension of the Mackie Control system with Mackie Control XT devices to the
"left side". All faders and encoder/displays are combined into one continuous surface. When the
encoder section is used to display the data for one channel (channel strip mode, or for plugins), the
parameters are presented over the encoder section of all devices from left to right. Fader bank
navigation and encoder section assignment is controlled by the Mackie Control unit. For each Mackie
Control and Mackie Control XT a new device needs to be added in the Device Setup. For each device
select the appropriate MIDI ports. The top most device in the device list represents the right most
channels, the bottom most device in the list represents the left most channels. Please make sure that
the used MIDI ports are deactivated in the "All MIDI Inputs" device.

- Generic Remote:
Upon import of a v1.x XML remote description file an automatic conversion to the new format happens.
This conversion will provide access to most of the "missing" parameter.
For a VST Mixer Channel the following parameter are supported for the conversion and for the Generic
Remote setup.
Volume, Mute, Solo, Select, Write, Read, Record Enable, Monitoring
Pan: Left/Right und Front/Rear
EQ's: Bypass, On, Freq, Gain, Q
Sends: On, Pre/Post, Volume
Inserts: On, Bypass, Edit, and the appropriate plugin parameter, when a Plugin is loaded

- In DirectMusic Setup the option "Use System Time" is present now. Use this option if following problem
occurs: recorded MIDI notes get placed too early on the MIDI track.

New plugins:

- Monologue Monophonic Analog Modeling Synthesizer: Monologue is a monophonic analog

synthesizer based on physical modeling technology. It offers full, rich and colorful sounds without
putting a lot of load on your computers CPU. Monologue the perfect tool for bass, lead and sequenced
sounds.

- Embracer Surround Pad Synthesizer: Embracer is a simple but powerful polyphonic synthesizer
designed entirely for producing pads and accompaniment sounds. With its easy-to-use envelope and
tone controls, it allows you to get the sounds you need fast instead of searching through thousands of
presets. However, the most powerful feature of Embracer is its surround output. With a single switch,
you can turn the instrument from stereo to surround and the width control allows you to spread your pad
sound anywhere from mono to stereo to full 360 surround. The unique eye controller gives you an
exact idea of how the sound will be placed in a mix. If youve never worked with a surround system
before, now is the time start exploring these possibilities.

- Tonic Analog Modeling Filter: Tonic is a versatile and powerful analog modeling filter plugin based on
the filter design of the Monologue monophonic synthesizer. Its variable characteristics plus the powerful
modulation functions make it an excellent choice for every type of current music style. Designed to be
more a creative tool rather than a tool to fix audio problems, it can add color and punch to your tracks
while being light on CPU usage.
Fixes:

- Recording on many audio tracks simultaneously using the Punch In / Punch Out at locators leads to
inaccurate file lengths - this bug has been fixed now
- VSTi channels appearing at wrong places in the mixer and arrangement at seemingly random
occasions, sometimes even disappearing altogether or being converted into a kind of shadow tracks,
grayed out tracks that are not routed to anything anymore, can be deleted but cant be tweaked and are
basically useless. This may happen if a VSTi is inserted by skipping slots and if a VSTi is removed
although it is not at the endmost position of all active instruments - This has been fixed now
- VST Instruments connected via VST System link: VST System link does not allow midi note auditioning
from an MIDI editor: Any note selected within an editor will drone. It appears note off is not being
issued. - fixed
- VST Instruments: In cases where multiple instances of the same plugin are present and the order of the
plugins is being altered (e.g. by removing an instance from a lower slot number), problems can occur on
loading the project: - wrong assignment of the VST Instruments - no connection to the automation.
These problems have been fixed.
- Generic Remote: If all entries are deleted and an other Remote-Setup is loaded, Nuendo/SX/SL may
crash - this bug has been fixed now
- Occasional crossfade crackling fixed

Changes Cubase SX 2.0.1 to Cubase SX 2.0.2

tracks are set to musical time base and a tempo track contains tempo changes. Copying Parts to a
different destination may result in overlapping Parts.
- Copy/Move multiple parts (ppq) with tempo track active: Parts may be placed at wrong destinations if
you move/copy them. - fixed.

- Crash in List Editor if Length and Data2 values are altered using the [Alt]-Click method - fixed
- Problem when multiple Plugin windows are open and some of them have "Always on Top" status.
Status is altered after saving the project. Can also cause a lockup (freeze) - fixed
- Crash if a PC made project that contains frozen VST Instruments is loaded on a Mac and vice versa. -
fixed
- Link/unlink faders does not work when mixer is set to always on top - fixed
- Switching between different Stereo Pan modes does not work correctly. One side of the stereo channel
may get muted - fixed
- Score: Using function "Blocktext" in the layout modus causes exception. - fixed
- When several sample editors are open and you edit at one a sample it may happen that all sample
editors show the same sample - fixed
- Use the range selection tool in the part editor when multiple lanes are available It does not highlight the
selection correctly, instead all lanes are highlighted. - fixed
- Part editor: Copy a marked selection to new lane is not possible - fixed
- Using track delay feature causes actual audio events to be shifted on the arrange window - fixed
- The undo history may get messed up if you use macros - fixed
- Under certain circumstances it may happen that removing DC offset with lots of events selected
crashes the application - fixed
- In some cases it may happen that importing marker track crashes application - fixed
- Under certain circumstances it may happen that automation is not followed correctly when cycling -
fixed

editor - fixed
