Overview

Cubasis comes with free instruments and offers additional instruments as in-app purchases or when registering in the shop. Additionally, third-party instruments can be loaded as Audio Unit plugins, or via Inter-App Audio.

First, add or select a MIDI track. Then tap either the track’s icon, or the Instrument panel in the Inspector, which will open the instrument rack.

Tap the LIST/BROWS button to open a list of all available instruments and presets. Use the search bar to filter longer lists. Some instrument’s have their factory presets sorted in category folders. Tap a preset to load it. You can also switch to the next / previous preset by tapping the left/right arrow icons on the title bar.

The star icon located next to the preset name allows you to mark the current preset as a favorite, which then appears in the instrument's "Favorites" folder. Tap the star icon again to undo the selection.

Some instruments have a “My Presets” folder, where four buttons are available:

• Save: Tap and enter a name if you want to save the current parameter configuration (also called “state”) as a new preset.
• Rename: Tap and enter a name to rename the selected preset.
• Share: Tap to share the selected preset via email, a cloud drive service, or to another device or with another app.
• Delete: Deletes the selected preset.

Third party apps with Audio Unit functionality can be selected as instrument plug-ins that integrate directly into the Cubasis workflow.
