I'm not very surprised that Kraftwerk prepare the next shows with the new Steinberg Cubase SX. Maybe They are "old" Steinberg customers? Ithink so. Karl Steinberg has always been a pioneer, since the biginning of the MIDI revolution in the eighties. He wrote the first important MIDI-sequencer software - Pro-24 running on Atari ST ( the only computer that included a built in MIDI interface, - half the price of a MacIntosh for close performances). Late 80's, Steinberg entirely rewrote the Pro-24 and called it Cubase! ( available for Atari, Mac & PC ). The Cubase Audio version allowed direct-to-disk recording/editing. The next step, mid-90's, was Cubase VST -both midi&audio-. Virtual Studio Technology: a native plug-in format for various audio effect processing... and now (VST 2.0 only) for VST instruments (typical example: emulation of analog synthesizer...) It seems to me that Cubase SX ( a completely rewrote Cubase version - due to Mac osX?) is the sequencer-software of the fourth generation and will never run on my G3! I guess Cubase SX, introducing the "VST system link", is the kind of tool that Kraftwerk need for a live performance! ( that's a good commercial deal too ). Filtre4Pole ( a kind of unknown Kw "clone" who used Pro-24 before using Cubase VST ;-) )
