This Drum machine and step sequencer is beautiful, probably the best on market right now, really makes me want to leave ableton and go straight to Cubase instead going to Bitwig, but the thing that holds me is the Vertical Clip laucher which is combined with the mixer, I really cant leave that behind, its the most powerful feature for idea creation and creating combinations before writing it on time line or creating new arranges for different parts of the song. I was almost jumping in Bitwig cause they have not only the Vertical session view with the mixer but also the horizontal clip launcher with the timeline, but after seeing this new Drum Machine and step sequencer makes me want to try it
This is really nice. I like the way they are going making more features for creative things like the modulators and this. Would like to see a better arp next. Some crazy poly rhythmic, euclidean, scaling, looping, playback point-direction changing monster. I wish I could make one, have some crazy ideas for a arpeggiator.
So I got 14 Pro today, and playing around with it. Not bad at all! Every time I feel like there's no more improvement possible, the next Cubase Pro surprises with something new, several new interesting features once again.
This is insane, absolutely love this. I can't help but notice that besides each track there is a speaker icon, does this mean that it is possible to have a multi audio output from here for each note? That would be insanely useful for, for example, Halion drum kits!
This is HUUUUGE! Drum Pattern + Drum Machine with import wave files ! Also Modulators rocks! I wait in the future the posibility when you`ll can convert midi drum editor to a drum pattern for other VST drum kits from another VST Instruments. In the midi editor down bellow we need: Midi Editor, Drum Editor (the old one,) Score editor AND Drum Pattern Editor! Or maybe a new BeatDesigner with individual steps for this??
You should route the individual kit pieces to their own tracks/outputs for this but yes, you can easily convert it to a midi part. On the event itself it has the name of the pattern and you can click on it to select different patterns. The bottom option is "Convert Pattern Event to Midi Part" and it will change everything to a regular MIDI event as if you never even used the pattern editor.
Thank you for the introduction, Dom! Can Groove Agent and the pattern sequencer work together? E.g., can drum patterns from Groove Agent be transferred to the pattern sequencer and vice versa? Thanx! 😊
This is grand indeed. Cubase has now made FL-Studio completely obsolete! The only thing missing is a mixing console in order to have overall control to the drum sounds automate busses and route them to individual FX slots. Have I not found this feature, or will it be part of Cubase 15?
I love everything about this except the randomization. The random button needs a warning because it is *not* recorded in the Undo history so if you accidentally hit the button or mess with the slider, it will mess up your whole pattern and you can't undo it.
I love the pattern sequencer so far. Definitely a great addition to my workflow. Question: is it possible to activate the single steps with an external controller with a TR-Style Sequencer button row, like on Arturia SparkLE?
cubase is really stepping up again! now some more sounddesign tools like spectral resonators, comb filters, and physical modeling..then they build a new improved community!
That's really cool, but I really like to use custom groove patterns instead of the normal swing. Is there a way to use the groove from the quantize panel instead of swing?
HI Dom, I have loaded Halion with the drum Editor, loaded The house of 80's Kit, created drum map from instrument and only have drums on C1 - F1 the keyboard on Halion shows drums C1 - F sharp 2 but not in the editor Cubase 14? I'm using The Modern 80's Kit Max.
What I miss in Cubase is a way to open a select set of plugin windows at once and/or close them. For example to open all the analyzing and measurement plugins from the Control Room. Is there any way? I haven't found it. I am working on a single big screen and this is seriously buggin' me out about Cubase. In Bitwig, I can use a macro to create a hotkey that opens the plugin windows I assign it to. Otherwise Cubase 14 looks massive! I have used Cubase professionally from version 5 up to 8-ish
Nevermind! I'm an idiot: when I clicked on my song Icon, it is still set to open Cubase 13. I need to change my .cpr, and bak files to open Cubase 14. Thanks!
Pattern sequencer is a great idea, but a half finished idea.. for example: if you create a midi track you cannot add a CC parameter lane for hardware instruments, which is very annoying. They really need to go to town on this side of cubase and make it fully featured, its potentially a game changer.
The only thing missing is being able to extend the steps (for instance: length extended to two steps but have 5 repeats…. EPIC polyrhythmic programming). Still buying, though. 🥴🙌🏽
really nice and powerful pattern editor! but the pastel color scheme for pads/sounds is just awful, would be great if you could select colors from the same color pallete as for tracks/channels/parts (therefore allow for custom colors).
Great tragedy!!! On Mac it crashes constantly, there are serious missing symbols in the score, which seems to work, when it doesn't stop, don't buy it!!!!

I was waiting for this feature forever! That was the best part of FL.
Been wanting this in Cubase for a long time. Hopefully, Nuendo update soon.
Me tooooooooo
This is what I miss from FL studio.. Can you convert midi drum editor to a pattern sequencer as well?

I guess you'd be able to build something in Reaktor. I've been planning something similar in Bitwig's Note Grid.

yes it is.
Amazing

Is there a way to separate each drum sound after converting it to the midi part to its own track for using in the mixer? Thanks 🎉😊
imo that's something that you have to setup in plugin or drum machine rather than on pattern/midi part level.
You should route the individual kit pieces to their own tracks/outputs for this but yes, you can easily convert it to a midi part. On the event itself it has the name of the pattern and you can click on it to select different patterns. The bottom option is "Convert Pattern Event to Midi Part" and it will change everything to a regular MIDI event as if you never even used the pattern editor.
@stevenleonmusic Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Sounds great, and I will set that up. Have a nice day, Angelina
awesome! That sounds and looks like a great addition. I like the integration of the patterns into the arrangement window.
I never really liked step sequencers but the parameters lane and its ease of use may change my workflow.
Thank you for the introduction, Dom!
Can Groove Agent and the pattern sequencer work together? E.g., can drum patterns from Groove Agent be transferred to the pattern sequencer and vice versa? Thanx! 😊

Great Update for Cubase 14 but the Patterns in FL Studio actually has way more functional optons
I love everything about this except the randomization. The random button needs a warning because it is *not* recorded in the Undo history so if you accidentally hit the button or mess with the slider, it will mess up your whole pattern and you can't undo it.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for your video. I have a question. Can notes be tied in the Pattern Sequencer? I think that feature is there in Cubases' step designer.
cubase is really stepping up again! now some more sounddesign tools like spectral resonators, comb filters, and physical modeling..then they build a new improved community!
That's really cool, but I really like to use custom groove patterns instead of the normal swing. Is there a way to use the groove from the quantize panel instead of swing?
Way to GO CUBASE! Just watched Bitwig release a half baked embarrassing sequencer that this BLOWS AWAY!
thank you dom sigalas
Love you so much guys!!!!! You did it! You did it!!!!! Waiting for this feat and this add is maybe my christmas gift to me!! Thanks u!!!!!!!!! ❤❤
HI Dom, I have loaded Halion with the drum Editor, loaded The house of 80's Kit, created drum map from instrument and only have drums on C1 - F1 the keyboard on Halion shows drums C1 - F sharp 2 but not in the editor Cubase 14? I'm using The Modern 80's Kit Max.
One word Cubase ❤
cubase you always get me
Can I also convert a midi part to pattern? So I can use leads and stuff I've built on synths and then add some probability and randomization to it?
Can you restrict it to a scale when used with melodic sounds?
Logic's one seems to, Studio One's sadly doesn't, Reason's Polystep sequencer does and Drum Sequencer doesn't.
+ 100 this would be a great feature for melodic patches
Hey Dom. Let's say I convert such a pattern to a MIDI part, what will happen to the pitch and pan steps?
What I miss in Cubase is a way to open a select set of plugin windows at once and/or close them. For example to open all the analyzing and measurement plugins from the Control Room. Is there any way? I haven't found it. I am working on a single big screen and this is seriously buggin' me out about Cubase. In Bitwig, I can use a macro to create a hotkey that opens the plugin windows I assign it to. Otherwise Cubase 14 looks massive! I have used Cubase professionally from version 5 up to 8-ish
Is it possible to make the pattern Made in the sequencer a midi pattern?
Great! Just great! Time to upgrade! :)
Dom, What is the giant monitor that you use???
Cajavec 522
Cuando creo una pista nos me sale la opción de sampler ni la de drum machine, no que es??
When I open "Add Track", Everything is there except "Drums", and "Event Type". What am I missing??
Nevermind! I'm an idiot: when I clicked on my song Icon, it is still set to open Cubase 13. I need to change my .cpr, and bak files to open Cubase 14. Thanks!
does it work on OS monterey?
Can the pattern lanes be reversed so the kick drum (c1) is on the bottom?
Great. Modulators came in 14 too. So If Cubase implements clip launcher/sketch I will leave FL Studio, Ableton and Bitwig.
Probability !!! Finally !!
What is the max number of steps?
I do wish you could randomize versions of a previous groove... busier/sparser kick/snare/hats, etc.
I was thinking this too, but using the probability tool on each hit achieves this without having to make multiple patterns
can it do polymeter, like 5 against 4
I would have loved to see better integration with Groove Agent, but this is a great feature.
There it go!
Finally!
Can this create a pattern with different subdivisions? E.g. a pattern with kick and snare in 16ths and hi-hat in triplets?
yes, the 1/16 etc dropdown controls the subdivisions. You can also make the kick 16 steps and the conga 13 steps or whatever for polymeters
Did you watch the video ?
Wow, das ist so genial 😍👍
Pattern sequencer is a great idea, but a half finished idea.. for example: if you create a midi track you cannot add a CC parameter lane for hardware instruments, which is very annoying.
They really need to go to town on this side of cubase and make it fully featured, its potentially a game changer.
Thank u studio one 😅😅 cubase 🙏 i'm here
it' seem like bitwig
but possible part of something cut, drag and drap to note?
The beat designer and the lowerzone had a baby.
but you still have to draw the blocks in? where is the midi trigger of patterns?
Guys! Can't I make Bounce Selection on a Drum Machine?
Yea but what about adding notes manually using the midi keyboard beyond me why its not there
Finally 🥳
The only thing missing is being able to extend the steps (for instance: length extended to two steps but have 5 repeats…. EPIC polyrhythmic programming). Still buying, though. 🥴🙌🏽
Finally! Take my money (again).
It reminds me of FL Studio's pattern sequencer.
i wish ableton had this natively....
really nice and powerful pattern editor! but the pastel color scheme for pads/sounds is just awful, would be great if you could select colors from the same color pallete as for tracks/channels/parts (therefore allow for custom colors).
different lengths per element? easy polyrythms, no?
features very similar to sugar bytes drum computer😊
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You got my money!
💥
I have the latest version of Cubase 13 installed and it is infinitely better than Cubase 14! especially in performance.
🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🥇🥇🥇🥇
Very disapointed there is no live recording in the sequencer. And no undo redo. Geist 2 is still on the top for me.
So Beat Designer never existed ? 😄
RIP FL Studio
It's a shame you can load your own individual samples into the pattern :(
Great tragedy!!! On Mac it crashes constantly, there are serious missing symbols in the score, which seems to work, when it doesn't stop, don't buy it!!!!
No Beat Jumping with the patterns Like in Beatdesigner??? WTF
Slow down plz can not follow U at all
