This upgrade takes owners of Cubase AI, the compact version for customers of selected Yamaha hardware, to Cubase Artist 15 with unlimited tracks and a much larger feature set.

After upgrading, you work with unlimited audio, MIDI and instrument tracks instead of the limited track count of Cubase AI. New additions include VariAudio 3 pitch correction, AudioWarp quantize, comping, side-chaining, SpectraLayers Go and WaveLab Go, as well as instruments such as Retrologue, Padshop, Verve, Iconica Sketch and the Drum Machine with the Pattern Sequencer. For composing and MIDI editing, you also gain the Scale Assistant, Arranger Track, audio to MIDI chord conversion and the Logical Editor. In total, Cubase Artist 15 offers eleven instruments and libraries with over 2600 sounds, more than 20 GB of samples and loops and an audio engine with up to 192 kHz.
