Cubase 13 comes with Iconica Sketch, which granted is a slimmed down version of the full Iconica but still quite powerful according to Dom Sigalas.You could always buy the full Iconica Opus later, that would give you quite a bit to work with I believe.I am considering Iconica Opus myself, I need savings for it though and a good sale at some point.It is actually 50% off right now it would seem.https://www.steinberg.net/promotion/ Iconica Opus -50%I just don’t have the money right now for it.

There is no Trial for Absolute which makes sense, since it’s a bundle of VSTs, but I am fairly sure that there is a trial for each individual VST in Absolute.
So in essence I believe you are correct, just not a trial for the bundle itself.

A useful overview of shortcuts that I believe still mostly apply.

Just chiming in, you are correct it is now FL Studio.

Hello there
I am curious in your opinion, you say Cubase modulation is terrible.
Or at least terrible compared to Bitwig.
Is that Cubase Elements/Artist/Pro as a base DAW. it’s capability with modulation on it’s own?
Or do you include HAlion 7 in this? or well one of the versions of HAlion based on what you maybe have?
As far as I know HAlion 7 is capable of modulation among many things.
Do you consider HAlion bad in this regard?
I realize HAlion is quite an investment on top of Cubase itself.
I am not saying you are wrong I am just curious.

Which VST is it?
