Cubase iC Pro 4+

Good but buggy

Using iPad Pro 10.5, iOS 11.4.1. App works well, but when customizing buttons / key commands, app frequently crashes. Might be related to dropped connections to Cubase, but in any case, any unsaved button pages will be lost and must be rebuilt after every crash. In addition, button pages named with a forward-slash character “/“ are NOT saved. No idea which other keyboard characters are not permitted, but I learned this by trial and error.

In addition, I would really like to be able to export (iTunes, iCloud, etc.) saved button layouts to import into other devices running the IC Pro, rather than having to rebuild on each device.

Steinberg - fix these issues and I will up my rating.

Love it with 13 Pro

This is the one thing I missed when I switched from Logic Pro. Very happy they’ve updated it. I’ve seen this before years ago and was deterred by people saying support was dropped. I started looking again because I need a new keyboard and I don’t want another 100% keyboard, but the record, ffw, rewind, jump to beginning, etc. key-binds are on the number pad. Saw people say support was picked up again, so gave it a shot and not only was my problem solved with $16, but Steinberg ran it in for a touchdown imo. With Cubase IC Pro I can get a 60% keyboard and not only retain functionality, but gain more shortcut control over Cubase. My only suggestion is they make the project view grid switchable between bars/measures and time. I can only see time and can’t find a way to see measures, but that may be on me. Other than that, great job Steinberg team. Looking forward to using this more and seeing what else you come up with.

Hi FappleCobbler, Thank you very much for your kind Cubase iC Pro review and rating - greatly appreciated. Stay safe, Lars

After 6 years, it works again!

If you look at version history you’ll see that this app was abandoned by Steinberg, and I was Ted nearly 20 bucks… or so we thought! I see that a few months ago the dev team got back on it! I just noticed this tonight, downloaded the update, linked it up with the Remote SKI app, and it works beautifully. Instantaneous response, and a slew of buttons that are actually helpful, like a single tap to open the Pool or Media Bay or any of the mixers. Full transport control on the bottom… and the mixer faders are actually resizable and useful. FINALLY!
