Steinberg has released Cubase 15 with an expanded set of production capabilities designed for composers and musicians at every skill level. The software arrives in three editions and introduces upgraded tools for expression mapping, pattern creation and artificial intelligence-powered audio manipulation.
The Expression Maps feature gains tighter connections to notation and piano roll editors while delivering more realistic articulation transitions through automatic attack timing adjustments. A dedicated pattern sequencer supports both single-note and chord-based programming. The redesigned project browser adds search filters and audio preview windows for faster session setup. Users can share work through the DAWproject standard without losing arrangement data when moving between supported applications.
New processing tools include UltraShaper for dynamics control and transient modification, PitchShifter for real-time pitch adjustment across a 24-semitone span, and Omnivocal vocal synthesis technology, still in testing phases. Workflow enhancements let producers quickly access recently adjusted automation parameters and export audio segments during active recording sessions. Score notation receives additional editing shortcuts while sample replacement on sampler channels connects directly to the media database. The program supports Windows 10 or later plus macOS 15 and above. Cubase Pro 15 costs 579 euros, the Artist version sells for 329 euros, and the Elements edition prices at 99.99 euros.
