INCLUDES CUBASE AI4 SOFTWARE

			AUDIOGRAM series includes Steinberg’s full-featured Cubase AI4 software. Cubase AI4 is a comprehensive music production software based on the flagship Cubase 4 program that has been specially bundled with the new MW. It gives you up to 48 simultaneous audio tracks and 64 MIDI tracks, plus a variety of VST plug-in software synths and effects, as well as full VSTi compatibility. The ‘AI’ in Cubase AI4 stands for Advanced Integration, and this new software delivers sophisticated functions and a level of hardware/software integration that other programs can’t match. Thanks to the built-in Studio Connections system, Cubase AI4 lets you use compatible hardware instruments (such as Yamaha’s MOTIF XS synthesizer) directly and seamlessly within your computer-based environment. Check out the example applications below to see how you can use the MW in creating and recording your own music—and look at the section on Cubase AI4 later in the brochure for details on this powerful program.
	CUBASE 4 SOUND ENGINE		SoundFrame™ - UNIVERSAL SOUND MANAGEMENT

CUBASE 4 http://www.steinberg.net/983_1.html CUBASE STUDIO4 http://www.steinberg.net/1008_1.html		SoundFrame is a new powerful system built into Cubase AI4 that manages all of your sounds, samples, presets and loops in one centralized database. It puts all of your music materials in one easy-to-access, easy-to-organize location, and makes recording and song creation more efficient than ever before. SoundFrame—when used with the included HALion ONE software sampler (see below)—can help you easily and quickly find any sound, not only by instrument but also by category, type, style, character or other attributes. You can even instantly preview sounds before loading. SoundFrame also allows you to manage your VST effects plug-in presets, organizing and categorizing them to form one big effects library.
	INCLUDES HALION ONE SOFTWARE SAMPLER		EXTENSIVE EDITING FEATURES
	HALion ONE software sampler Cubase AI4 comes loaded with the powerful HALion ONE software sampler. This sample playback plug-in perfectly integrates with the sequencer and is optimized for use with the SoundFrame features. It features more than 350 brand-new ready-to-play sounds using high-quality samples from Yamaha’s renowned MOTIF series instruments—covering acoustic and electronic instruments, as well as synth timbres and drums.		MIDI Edit Windows Cubase AI4 gives you a number of sophisticated, useful tools for controlling and rearranging your recordings. You can use the main Project window to record and do basic cut-and-paste work on your tracks, and use the other editing windows for more detailed changes. The Sample Editor, for example, lets you easily manipulate your audio recordings. For MIDI recordings, there are a variety of options—the Key Editor (in piano roll form), the Drum Editor (with convenient event and drum mapping indications), the Score Editor (for notation based editing), and the detailed List Editor (showing all MIDI events).
	COMPREHENSIVE PLUG-IN EFFECTS		WIDE VARIETY OF SAMPLE LOOPS INCLUDED
	Other important Cubase AI4 features include a comprehensive set of VST3 plug-ins, including 15 new and dynamic effect types. Use them to process your recorded tracks within your computer—without the need for external processors.		A sample set of 480 different drum and rhythm loops has been included, as well as 20 types of MIDI Style files (for backing tracks) so that you can get started making quality music right out of the box.
