For the first time, you could see the tracks, the notes, the piano-roll editing in a style, it has to be said, that remains to this day on so many modern DAWs (we don’t, of course, call them sequencers any more).Ĭubase v1 arguably laid down the design template for music production for years to come – tracks top to bottom, song left to right – and did it all in glorious greyscale. I say ‘proper’, as I had been sequencing via hardware for a few years at that point, but that was all steps, numbers and symbols on screen – hardly the visual ‘song on a screen’ Cubase portrayed, even back at v1 on an Atari.

Steinberg’s Cubase sequencer was my first proper introduction to the world of music technology.
