Protocols
Steinberg have introduced several industry-standard software protocols. These include:
- ASIO (a low-latency communication protocol between software and sound cards)
- VST (a protocol allowing third-party audio plugins and virtual instruments)
- LTB (providing accurate timing for its now-discontinued MIDI interfaces)
- VSL (an audio/MIDI network protocol which allows the connection and synchronisation of multiple computers running Steinberg software)
Steinberg's notable packages include the sequencers Cubase and Nuendo, as well as WaveLab (a digital audio editor) and numerous VST plugins.
