Steinberg Bundles Celemony Tonalic Essential with Cubase Pro 15 and Nuendo 15 - Free for Version 15 Owners
Celemony's Tonalic Essential ships as part of the Cubase 15 and Nuendo 15 maintenance update (version 15.0.30), giving registered users access to adaptive guitar performances built from studio recordings at no additional charge.
Tonalic is a performance-content platform from Celemony, the company best known for Melodyne. Where Melodyne targets audio editing and pitch correction, Tonalic takes a different approach: it draws on authentic studio recordings as source material and processes them through the Tonalic Engine, which reshapes each performance in real time to match a project's chord progression, tempo, and groove.
The essential tier bundled with Cubase and Nuendo includes acoustic and electric guitar content. The real-time adaptation means guitar parts track the harmonic context of a session without requiring manual key or tempo mapping, which positions Tonalic as a composition and arrangement tool rather than a conventional sample library or virtual instrument.
Target users are songwriters and producers who want organic guitar textures in their arrangements without recording live parts or programming MIDI note by note. The Tonalic Engine's chord awareness handles the harmonic translation automatically.
The integration ships in a maintenance update rather than a major version bump, meaning current owners of Cubase Pro 15, Cubase Artist 15, and Nuendo 15 receive it through the version 15.0.30 update. Licenses are delivered via the Voucher section in MySteinberg, and registration with Celemony is required for activation.
We're pleased to be partnering up with Celemony and are happy to offer Tonalic essential to our Cubase and Nuendo 15 customers for free. With its guitar performances, Tonalic essential fits nicely in the comprehensive tool set provided by Cubase and Nuendo.
