Cubendo is a colour palette editing tool for Cubase and Nuendo, designed to simplify the process of customising colour swatches. With Cubendo, you can import Defaults.xml files and easily edit the code snippet responsible for palette settings. The intuitive interface makes creating and managing colour palettes quick and easy, with no need for manual XML editing.
This is not an officially licensed Steinberg application. It is a community tool that I developed and funded independently to meet a personal need. I’m sharing it freely in the hope that it helps others as well. If you would like to support the project, you can use the donation button when exporting your file.
This is my first software release, created out of a desire to improve the workflow for customising colour palettes in Cubase and Nuendo. I hope you find it useful, and maybe even a little fun.
