New synths on the block
Phat, phresh and phunky
Ideal for creating fat and funky lead and bass sounds, Retrologue offers those old-school analog synth sounds and biting sonic blocks that will enrich every modern music production substantially. At the heart of this cutting instrument are two carefully modeled oscillators each with up to eight detunable voices alongside an earth-shattering sub and noise oscillator. Packed into a straightforward interface, Retrologue brings back the sound of analog circuitries and vintage warmth. Retrologues extensive preset library features 300 presets and comes with timeless and modern synthesizer sounds — from heavy weight monophonic basses and razor-sharp leads to driving grooves and polyphonic stabs. Grab your keyboard and start creating memorable hooks!

And with the built-in modulation and delay effects you can drive the pace for high tension atmospheres.

Filling the floors
This one goes out to all the dance floor addicts! DJ-EQ is your new filter of choice when it comes to recreating the DJ’s favorite performance effect. Bright as a disco ball and sharp as a laser, this three-band equalizer boasts three kill switches to create cutting breaks and unexpected twists! Best of all, you can access the bands via Cubase’s Quick Controls or automate the parameters in your project. Simple to use, yet strong in impact, DJ-EQ brings the dance floor atmosphere right into your studio.
Create your own blend
Filtering is an art of its own and we just cultivated it: the new MorphFilter effect gives you the superior filter types of HALion 4. Equipped with a bunch of classic low, high and band-pass resonant filters, MorphFilter allows you to blend seamlessly between two different selectable filter types. Shape your tracks with great-sounding sweeps and dynamic glides. And keep in mind that all parameters can be accessed via the Quick Controls and automated within your project.
- Simple yet powerful 3-band equalizer

One step closer to perfection
Comp as you are
Cubase’s already impressive lane comping system just got better! Tailored closely to the requests of our professional users, we optimized the comping workflow by introducing a dedicated Comp tool with handy click-and-drag features for immediate results. Thanks to smart new algorithms under the hood, assembling the perfect take has never been easier. With a single mouse click new tracks can be created from each lane automatically. And if you prefer working with overlapping events, you will be happy to know that Cubase 6.5 introduces just that, plus a cleanup lanes function allowing you to edit your tracks faster and more precise than ever before.
- Comp tool with handy click-and-drag features
- Cleanup-lanes command to resolve event overlaps
- Create-tracks-from-lanes function to convert each lane into a new audio track
- Seperated track and lane solo function
- Developed in close collaboration with studio engineers for best results
The enhanced audio quantization is brilliant and saves a lot of time and effort. I heavily use the new functions in my current production.
— Norman Kolodziej, Bratze/Der Tante Renate
Warp this way
Cubase 6.5 fuses the hitpoint and AudioWarp system and embeds warp quantizing directly into the dedicated Quantize panel. By creating warp markers straight from hitpoints, both single audio loops as well as the entire arrangement can be non-destructively quantized with a single mouse click — just like MIDI parts! Thanks to the smooth integration into the Quantize panel, it’s also possible to warp-quantize multiple tracks instead of slice-quantizing. Based on transient priorities between tracks and the newly introduced warp rules, a common set of warp markers is created and then used to quantize all tracks of an Edit Group* at once. Also possible is sampling a groove pattern from your own MIDI parts and applying it straight to a host of audio events! And because the Audio Events are warped instead of sliced, they automatically follow any tempo or pitch changes of your project while remaining unclutterd for easy arrangements. It’s never been easier to lock those grooves together!
- Fusion of hitpoint and AudioWarp system
- AudioWarp quantize integrated into Quantize panel
- Create warp markers from hitpoints automatically
- Warp Marker rules support transient priorities for multi-track quantizing of Edit Groups*
- Non-destructively quantize single audio loops or the entire arrangement just like MIDI!

Size does matter
That’s why Cubase 6.5 includes the lossless FLAC audio compression codec. Import and export FLAC files effortlessly, and save up to 60% disk space when recording audio tracks in real time.
