Cubasis comes with free instruments and offers additional instruments as in-app purchases or when registering in the shop. Additionally, third-party instruments can be loaded as Audio Unit plugins, or via Inter-App Audio.
Selecting an Instrument
First, add or select a MIDI track. Then tap either the track’s icon, or the Instrument panel in the Inspector, which will open the instrument rack.
List Browser
Tap the LIST/BROWSE button to open a list of all available instruments and presets. Use the search bar to filter longer lists. Some instrument’s have their factory presets sorted in category folders. Tap a preset to load it. You can also switch to the next / previous preset by tapping the left/right arrow icons on the title bar.
Favorites
The star icon located next to the preset name allows you to mark the current preset as a favorite, which then appears in the instrument's Favorites folder. Tap the star icon again to undo the selection.
