IK Multimedia hardware products now unlock features in Cubasis LE
Cubasis LE is the compact version of Steinberg’s streamlined, multitouch sequencer for the iPad, providing the same look and feel of its bigger brother Cubasis. Specially designed for quick and easy operation, Cubasis LE makes recording, editing and mixing a breeze. Cubasis LE includes MicroSonic, an intuitive and easy-to-use virtual instrument which can be played with IK’s iRig Keys line or iRig Pads MIDI controllers with no additional setup. Song ideas can be captured with up to four audio tracks with IK’s iRig interfaces and microphones, and further edited and polished to perfection with the integrated editors, mixer and selected effects. Thanks to the project importer, musicians can even open Cubasis LE projects in Cubase – both on Windows and Mac. With touch-intuitive production tools, Cubasis LE opens up a new world of creative possibilities.
To access the Cubasis LE features, users simply need to download the free Cubasis LE app for iPad, launch it and connect a compatible IK iRig accessory to their iPad. Products that unlock the feature set include the iRig Keys line of MIDI controllers including iRig Keys Mini, iRig Keys and iRig Keys Pro; iRig Pads 4×4 MIDI controller, iRig HD, iRig Pro and iRig Pro DUO interfaces, and the iRig Mic HD and iRig Mic Studio digital microphones.
When users upgrade to the Cubasis full feature set they also get Inter-app audio, which means musicians can use their IK hardware and IK apps like AmpliTube®, AmpliTube MESA/Boogie®, AmpliTube Fender®, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™ and AmpliTube Slash, plus SampleTank, iGrand Piano and iLectric Piano inside of Cubasis LE to get the best possible industry-standard tones and sounds.
With IK’s iRig Pro DUO, players can record multiple channels in Cubasis LE simultaneously. They can connect everything from high-end phantom powered condenser microphones to guitars, basses, keyboards and more. Each channel has its own input gain control so players can dial in the perfect amount of input signal for recording.
