Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

IME the piano roll in Cubasis is just very fussy and a PITA to use (even with a pencil). It’s almost impossible to use with fingertips. I try to avoid using it altogether or record/edit my MIDI in NS2 then export to Cubasis.
When the new Atom comes out I will probably use this inside Cubasis.
I think we wouldn't have any problem if Steinberg simply adopted the piano roll edit buttons (and their functionality) from NS2 or do something similar.
@LFS, is it possible to introduce such feature in the piano roll?
@MobileMusic , I don't know if it is on your top100 list, I think not.
I don’t find it that difficult any more and I’ve only used CB3 for a few weeks. The finer your grid the more you have to zoom in. I just pick out a section I want to work on and then lock it so it won’t move. If you are putting in a series of notes tap toward the front of the first one and then toward the back of each successive note. Works for me every time. You have to find the proper level of zoom for the resolution you’re working at. I’ve seen a lot of people never zoom in or out no matter what they’re doing. They usually have problems. I honestly don’t find any other piano roll any better and some are much worse. I feel like CB3 gets some undeserved criticism around here. One thing I would like to see is a lock for the velocity, length, horizontal and vertical move buttons. Having to hold them down is awkward. @Lars
Definitely agree about the lock for the velocity etc buttons.
I am left-handed (like many others here) and it is particularly annoying.
I’ve requested this several times on the Steinberg forum.
Lefty here as well! Also put in a request over there. 😎👍🏼
Okay, added a suggestion to offer a new switch button or re-use the existing Lock button to lock the pressed state of these buttons (Velocity, Move, Length, etc) -
