will feature some new tools, including an integrated vocal pitch correction section. The company showed the new technology on during a press conference and it looks very similar to vocal plug-ins Melodyne and Auto-Tune.

The new version will also include new beat creation tools, extended composing features, and a convolution reverb, among other changes.

Cubase 5 will come with a new virtual instrument called LoopMash that allows users to import a variety of loops and then let the instrument create a new groove for you. You can adjust the amount you want to take from each loop and LoopMash will dynamically create a groove.

Pricing for Cubase 5 was not available, but the application will ship in February.

Steinberg also demoed a new iPhone app the company developed to Cubase 5 remotely. Cubase RC (Remote Control) will use Wi-Fi to connect and control Cubase 5.
