Create detailed, multi-layered sounds without filling your project with separate instrument tracks. New to Cubase Artist 16, Instrument Stacks let you combine multiple VST instruments, sampler tracks, and drum tracks into a single playable instrument, keeping complex arrangements easier to manage. Each layer has its own filtering options, so you can shape how different sounds interact while controlling the entire stack from one track. This is particularly useful for building layered synth patches, combining acoustic and electronic textures, or creating fuller bass sounds. With unified control over your layers, you can experiment with different instrument combinations while keeping your workflow organised.
Give programmed parts a more natural feel with the updated Key Editor in Cubase Artist 16. The new Strum feature lets you adjust the timing of individual notes within chords, creating anything from subtle variations to pronounced strumming patterns. MIDI stretching also makes it easier to reshape melodies, basslines, and chord progressions to fit your arrangement, with support for gradual tempo changes. For more detailed composition, Chord Pads, Chord Track, and Scale Assistant help you explore harmonies and develop musical ideas. Combined with controller editing, quantisation, and MIDI expression tools, these features give you precise control over your programmed performances.
Expand your production toolkit with new sound-shaping options in Cubase Artist 16. DrumChain brings dedicated multi-effects processing to your beats, helping you add punch, low-end weight, and clarity without building complicated effects chains. For vocals, VocalTouch provides straightforward tonal shaping, while Omnivocal Basic lets you sketch out lyric ideas with a realistic vocal sound to emo melodies and harmonies fast!
The new Module library for HALion Sonic also introduces over 200 FM-based presets, covering synth leads, basses, keys, and evolving textures. Alongside 11 virtual instrument libraries, 73 included effects, and five new sample packs, you'll have a wide range of sounds to explore across different production styles.
Keep your sessions running smoothly with the updated production workflow in Cubase Artist 16. Redesigned tempo detection makes it easier to match imported recordings to your project's timing, while AudioWarp and VariAudio provide detailed control over audio timing, vocal pitch, and intonation. The redesigned Settings window brings key commands, preferences, and project configuration into one searchable location, letting you make adjustments without interrupting your session.
For mixing, MixConsole provides channel processing, effects, automation, and flexible routing, while extended ASIO-Guard helps manage CPU-intensive projects. You'll also benefit from improved insert handling, streamlined media management, and faster access to frequently used production settings.
