Cubase Pro 15 launched November 2025 as Steinberg’s current flagship DAW at €579 / $579. Version 15 adds a Pattern Sequencer for step-based melody creation, redesigned Expression Maps with per-articulation attack compensation, AI-powered Stem Separation, UltraShaper (transient shaping plus EQ plus clip limiting in one device), six new modulators including a Random Generator, Sample and Hold and Wavefold LFO, plus Omnivocal in beta — Yamaha’s vocal synthesis engine that generates human-like singing from lyrics and notes entered in the Key Editor.

What’s Inside Cubase Pro 15

• Pattern Sequencer: create monophonic and polyphonic melodies via step input, custom scales, shape generators and a deep randomiser (also available in Cubase 15 Artist)
• Redesigned Expression Maps: streamlined setup with deep Key Editor and Score Editor integration for VST articulation control, plus per-articulation attack compensation for tighter timing
• AI-powered Stem Separation: split audio into isolated stems for sampling and remixing (Pro edition)
• UltraShaper: dynamic processor combining transient shaping, EQ and clip limiting (Pro exclusive)
• Six new modulators: Random Generator, Sample and Hold, Wavefold LFO and three others expanding the Cubase 14 modulator set
• Cubase Drum Machine: 40 new kits tailored for electronic, hip-hop and trap production
• Omnivocal (beta): Yamaha’s vocal synthesis engine generates human-like singing from lyrics and notes typed in the Key Editor
• Reimagined hub: project start-up with resizable sections, project previews and more powerful search tools
• Interface scaling: all stock effect plugins now support interface scaling for better readability on high-DPI displays
• MIDI 2.0 support: registered (RPN) and assignable (NRPN) controllers from the MIDI 2.0 protocol
• Score Editor: interprets played notes as swung, supports custom guitar tunings with full and partial capo setups, seamless Dorico compatibility

Who Is It For?

Film composers who need Cubase’s legendary MIDI editing plus the new AI-powered Stem Separation for sampling reference tracks. Producers doing songwriting who want the Omnivocal beta to prototype vocal melodies without recording. Beat makers using the 40 new Drum Machine kits for electronic, hip-hop and trap production. Sound designers using the six new modulators and Pattern Sequencer for evolving textures. Anyone who values Steinberg’s professional workflow and wants the most current version.

How Producers Use Cubase Pro 15

Film composers use the redesigned Expression Maps for orchestral scoring — per-articulation attack compensation tightens the timing on staccato and marcato phrases that Cubase 14 handled less precisely. Beat makers program patterns in the new Pattern Sequencer for step-based melody creation feeding into the 40 new Drum Machine kits. Sound designers layer the six new modulators for evolving textures. Songwriters use Omnivocal beta to prototype vocal lines from typed lyrics before recording real vocals. See our Cubase templates collection for related content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Cubase Pro 15 worth upgrading from Cubase 14?

For most producers, yes. The Pattern Sequencer, AI Stem Separation, UltraShaper and Omnivocal beta cover ground Cubase 14 didn’t. The redesigned Expression Maps alone justify the upgrade for composers running large sample libraries. Steinberg offers an upgrade path from Cubase 14 to 15.

What’s Omnivocal?

Omnivocal is a Yamaha vocal synthesis engine shipping in beta with Cubase 15. You type lyrics and notes into the Key Editor and Omnivocal generates human-like singing voices. It’s designed for prototyping vocal melodies before recording real vocalists, and Steinberg calls it a beta because Yamaha is still refining the underlying synthesis.

Does Cubase Pro 15 work on Apple Silicon?

Yes. Native Apple Silicon build. Runs on M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5 Macs without Rosetta.

Consider Cubase Pro 14 as the previous version if you prefer to stay on Cubase 14’s feature set.
