The Story of Steinberg and Yamaha

Steinberg has created award-winning, technologically-advanced audio software and hardware since 1984. With more than 1.5

million users globally, Steinberg (a Yamaha subsidiary) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of these products, which are

used by musicians and producers to create albums and soundtracks for video and film. Steinberg’s wide-ranging products areworld-renown in the world of modern digital audio processing. They form the backbone of facilities specializing in music compo-

sition and production, mastering, restoration, broadcast, sound design, audio post for the film industry, and many others.

Since its foundation, Steinberg has constantly pushed the boundaries of what is possible in digital audio. In January 2005,

Steinberg became a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamaha Corporation, the world’s leading manufacturer of audio hardware.

By joining forces with Yamaha, the company ensured that the legacy of innovation and quality would finally find a supportive and

equally quality-minded partner. Our groundbreaking technologies offer flexible, cost-effective and intuitive ways of realizing

your full creative and professional potential. Steinberg’s technologies include VST, ASIO and AI – three standards that have

ignited the computer recording revolution.

VST allows the integration of virtual ef fect processors and instruments into the digital audio environment. These can be softwarerecreations of hardware effect units and instruments or new creative effect components in your VST system. The Audio Stream

Input/Output (ASIO) architecture forms the backbone of VST. It supports variable bit depths and sample rates, multi-channel

operation and synchronization. As a result, the user gets low latency, high performance, easy setup, and stable audio recording

within VST. It is now the preferred audio standard used by many other leading software manufacturers.

AI is a technology developed in close collaboration between Steinberg and Yamaha. The A I technology allows for a seamless

integration of the Digital Audio Workstations developed by Steinberg into the digital audio hardware from Yamaha and Steinberg.

AI provides plug-and-play to an as-yet unknown level; the software automatically carries out the required settings of the con-

nected hardware, such as selecting drivers, input and output configurations, and remote settings. In addition, the technology

offers various dedicated remote functions, data exchange, and much more.

Thanks to the union with Yamaha, Steinberg began to create high quality hardware products with Yamaha’s award-winning

engineers and designers – products that ensure that Steinberg is known as the pre-eminent system solution company.

Steinberg’s lineup has dramatically grown to include the MR Series of Firewire audio interfaces, the CI Series of portable USB

audio interfaces and the recent addition of the class-leading UR Series of USB 2.0 audio interfaces. Ever innovating, Steinberg’s

CMC Series is the world’s first lineup of modular controllers, consisting of six sleek designs offering the utmost in flexibility and

superior ease of use.

These hardware additions join the formidable lineup of software that Steinberg is best known for, including: Cubase, the world’s

leading Digital Audio Workstation; Nuendo, the post production powerhouse; Wavelab, for deep editing and mastering; and

Sequel, the easy to use music production studio. These programs unite with some legendary instruments and effects that take

full advantage of VST host software including the Rupert Neve Design Portico Series of Plug-ins, The Grand virtual piano instru-

ment, The Yamaha Vintage Plug-in Collection and the HALion lineup of sound creation and sampling plug-ins.

The Steinberg North America (SNA) department is the sales and marketing force for Steinberg’s products in the United States.

It is comprised of a national sales team headquartered in YCA’s Buena Park office, a technical support team in Indianapolis IN,

and a field marketing specialists team that drives customer interest around the nation.

Steinberg passionately continues to create innovative, flexible and inspiring system solutions that offer the world’s best

experience in recording and digital audio.

The preamp is where sound creation begins in recording, and ultimately determines the quality of your mix.The D-PRE is carefully designed to capture all the subtleties and expressiveness of any audio source andis the culmination of years of development by the experienced engineers at the Yamaha Corporation. Theresults are stunning, and the difference is in the design.

Usually, preamps use one transistor each for the hot and cold signals at the input stage to amplify the signal.However, the D-PREs specified on Steinberg audio interfaces use an inverted Darlington circuit, where twotransistors are used for each hot and cold- a total of four per unit. With only one transistor on a preampcircuit, distortion tends to increase along with the signal level. By using a pair of two cascaded transistors,very low distortion can be maintained regardless of signal level.

Why does the D-PRE preamp sound so good?

Some users might look for a microphone preamp to dramatically color the sound while others search for avery neutral response. For example, some highly sought after vintage microphone preamps excel at amplifyingcertain components of a given source, imparting a generous amount of color to the signal. Such a preampmight be great for a vocal recording, however those preamps will not suit every use. D-PRE has a very widefrequency range so that it can handle any music source and it does not overly amplify any specific components

source, while leaving flexibility for later editing. The end result is that D-PRE provides a sound that is a perfectamalgamation of understated signal enhancement combined with impeccable sonic integrity. The developmentteam took a lot of time to adjust this subtle balance and the D-PRE sound quality speaks for itself.

Our Technologies

Developed by Steinberg and first launched in 1996, Virtual Studio Technology (VST) creates a full, professional studio

environment on your MAC or PC computer. VST allows the integration of virtual effect processors and instruments into

your digital audio environment. These can be software recreations of hardware effect units and instruments or new

creative effect components in your VST system. All are integrated seamlessly into the host application. Because these

connections are virtual, there is no need for messy audio or MIDI cabling. These VST modules have the sound quality of

the best hardware units, yet are far more flexible. All functions of a VST effect processor or instrument are directly

controllable and automatable, either with a mouse or with external hardware controllers.

This revolutionary new standard brings true connectivity and platform independence to the digital audio world. VSTSystem Link enables the transfer of synchronization, transport and audio data between two or more workstations

equipped with compatible software and hardware over standard digital audio cabling systems such as ADAT, TDIF,

AES/EBU or S/PDIF. Because i t uses the audio stream itsel f, synchron ization is complete ly sample accurate, even

across multiple workstation configurations. VST System Link lets you take your audio projects to new levels of com-

plexity, and offers unbelievable flexibility in your working environment.

VST3 marks an important milestone in audio technology with a completely rewritten code base providing not only many

new features but also the most stable and reliable VST platform ever. VST 3.5 is a groundbreaking new version with a

host of new capabilities, including VST 3 controller and Note Expression support as well as VST Expression Maps inte-

gration.

The Audio Stream Input/Output (ASIO) architecture forms the backbone of VST. It is a low-latency, high performance

audio standard that is used by the entire MI industry. ASIO addresses any needs a professional audio recording

solution might have. It does this by supporting variable bit depths and sample rates, multi-channel operation and

synchronization. As a result, the user gets low latency, high performance, easy set up and stable audio recording within

VST. The entire system becomes controllable and offers complete and immediate access to the audio system's

capabilities. Since its introduction, ASIO has become a supported standard by many leading audio hardware

manufacturers - for good reason.

AI stands for Advanced Integra tion, being a technology developed in close co llaborat ion between Steinberg and

Yamaha. The AI technology allows for a seamless integration o f the DAWs developed by Steinberg into the digital

audio hardware from Yamaha and Steinberg. AI provides plug-and-play at an as-yet unknown level: now the software

automatically carries out the the required settings of the connected hardware, such as selecting drivers, input and

output configuration and the remote settings. In addition, the technology also offers various dedicated remote

functions, data exchange and much more.

This technology integrates dspMixFx and MR/UR Editors into the Cubase and Nuendo interface in order to get faster

operation. All aspects of I/O handling, DSP management and independent performer mixes are handled directly from

within Cubase itself. This offers real-time, independent and most importantly no-latency mixes with FX for several

performers.

The eLicenser is a copy protection system which is needed to use Steinberg's software range.

There are two types of eLicenser is available depending on software.

The USB-eLicenser (formerly "Steinberg Key") is a copy protection unit (sometimes called "dongle").

It is actually a tiny computer which stores licenses for Steinberg products, and is connected to a USB

port on your computer. The Steinberg copy protection system allows the storage of several licenses

on the same USB-eLicenser. Licenses can also be transferred between USB-eLicensers with certain limitations.

The Soft-eLicenser uses exactly same technology with the USB-eLicenser but an authorization key

will be stored on a harddisk drive. The authorization key can be transfered to a USB-eLicenser. This can be

very useful if you wish to run a Steinberg software on different computers (not at once). Once theauthorization key is transfered to a USB-eLicenser, the key can not be transfered back to harddisk drive.

With 2.0 up-date, the seamless integration with the newly intro-duced Chord Track ensures correct pitch to your har-monies at all times. Talking about multiple tracks,now you can smartly edit multiple VariAudio partsacross multiple tracks within one editor only!

Vari Audio 2.0

In Cubase 7 rhythmic audio material can be quantized just like any

to change the groove of live-recorded drums. To preserve phase rela-tionships between tracks, the individual slices on all tracks are stillgrouped and moved at once. Cubase automatically createscross-fades between slices to ensure seamless transitions betweenthem and fill gaps that might be introduced during quantization.

Multi-Track Phase Accurate Audio Quantization

Note Expression is the new smart way to assign, create and edit multiplecontroller values directly on single note-level — all in a single handy graphi-cal interface. The perfect choice for demanding orchestral arrangementsand creating unique sound effects, Note Expression allows controller valuesto be drawn directly onto single note events in the Key Editor. Becauseeach individual note event contains its own set of controller data, even poly-phonic sounding notes can now be dynamically controlled—fully indepen-dent from each other.

Note Expression

Thanks to the Hermode tuning technology, the intonation of your synthe-sized notes are changed dynamically on the fly for utmost compatibility withwell-tempered scales, while retaining a high degree of purity for third andfifth intervals. Especially when combining non-fixed-intonation instruments,like brass and woodwind, and fixed-intonation instruments, such as guitarsand piano, entire orchestral arrangements sound immediately clearer andmore brilliant than before.

Creating an exact digital image of world-class analog audio processors hasalways been a soughtafter goal — until Yamaha, world's largest and mostsuccessful manufacturer of quality musical instruments, introduced a revolu-tionary technology that enables to create highly accurate digital copies ofanalog hardware: Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology.

VCM was developed by an engineering group led by Toshifumi Kunimoto, a senior engineer who was also responsible for the first

circuits, such as resistors and capacitors. Besides modeling the functionality of a circuit and the interaction between single compo-nents, VCM focuses on an unprecedented musical simulation of analog sound qualities, including typical characteristics like saturationand non-linearity — subtleties that simple digital simulations cannot capture.
