Steinberg Cubase 10 VST / VST3 Plugins. Cubase is one of the most powerful music creation software packages in the world. With its unrivaled range of flexible tools, you can create any kind of music quickly and intuitively. I have been using Cubase since before VST was around. I run it on a PC (Intel Xeon, 16GB, liquid cooled, Win 7 64-bit) and it runs as smoothly and flawlessly as I need. No application is bug free, but Steinberg releases regular patches, and also gives us a decent upgrade every year or so. The Hyphenate does a step by step tutorial on how to install VST effects and plugins into Cubase 10 and Cubase 9. Whether it's Cubase Pro, Elements, or Artis.
A plug-in is a piece of software that adds a specific functionality to Cubase. The audio effects and instruments that are used in Cubase are VST plug-ins.
VST effect or VST instrument plug-ins normally have their own installation application. Read the documentation or readme files before installing new plug-ins.
When you scan for newly installed plug-ins or relaunch Cubase, the new plug-ins are shown on the VST effect or VST instrument selectors, respectively.
Cubase comes with a number of effect plug-ins included. These effects and their parameters are described in the separate document “Plug-in Reference”.
