- VariAudio: Perhaps the biggest game-changer. This was Steinberg’s answer to Melodyne. It allowed for pitch correction and editing of monophonic vocal tracks directly within the audio editor (Segment Editor) without needing an external plugin. It turned vocal editing into a MIDI-like process.
- Groove Agent ONE: A new drum machine that replaced the older LM-4. It allowed for drag-and-drop MIDI grooves and offered extensive sound shaping capabilities.
- REVerence: A convolution reverb plugin that utilized impulse responses to simulate real spaces (concert halls, studios, bathroom tiles). It was a major step up from the algorithmic reverbs included in previous versions.
- Beat Designer: A MIDI plugin specifically designed for creating drum patterns quickly, catering to the electronic music production crowd.
- VST Expression: A system for editing controller data (dynamics, articulation) directly on the note level, making it easier to work with orchestral VSTs.
Revolutionary beat-making tools for the time, focusing on seamless loop manipulation and MPC-style drum sampling. REVerence: Steinberg Cubase 5 Pro (v5
