Version History 6.0.1 pre-release

Improvements

March 2011

This pre-release version offers improvements which we would
like to make available to our customers as soon as possible.
While preliminary testing carried out for this version indicates
that it is stable and reliable, it has not gone through our full QA
testing cycle. Therefore, please note that this pre-release
version is not officially supported.

The following improvements have been added to this version:

 Fader Cap Color Intensity: To better distinguish

between track types, the fader caps in the Mixer can
now be colored with distinct colors for different tracks.
The intensity of coloring can be freely adjusted in File >
Preferences > Appearance > General > Fader Cap
Color Intensity. The default intensity is set to zero (white
fader caps).

 Drag Opacity: As a replacement for transparent

events like in Cubase 5, a new behavior has been
implemented: when dragging Events or Parts in the
Project window, dragged objects reduce their
background color opacity as long as the object is
moved with a pressed mouse button. This reveals the
grid lines of the Project window underneath the content
of the dragged object and allows you to align the peak
of a waveform exactly with a specific line of the grid. It
can be also used to align the content of one object
exactly with the content of another one. As a
consequence, it is now general behavior that dragged
Events (or Parts) no longer leave their image at their
original position in the Project window. However, while
dragging an object, press the [ALT] modifier key (which
is used for copy) to display the object at its original
position from where it was dragged. The Drag Opacity
can be adjusted freely in File > Preferences > Event
Display > Drag Opacity from full to zero opacity. The
default setting is a medium value.

 HALion Sonic SE context menu: The HALion Sonic

SE context menu opened at the HSSE Quick Controls
section has been extended with the ability to assign
controls to Cubase Quick Control slots and to show
corresponding Automation Lanes (just like it is with the
other VST 3 plug-ins included with Cubase 6).

 HALion Sonic SE Preset Browser: The default

setup of the attributes now contains "Library Name" as
default when using the Filter pane in the Preset
Browser. This makes it easier to filter the preset list
down to the content of specific content sets, for
example, VST Sound Instrument Sets.

 OMF Import / Export: This feature is now available

for Cubase 6 64-bit on Mac OS X.
