The following new features have been added in Cubase SX version 3.0.2 :
- The status of the Play Order Track is now saved with the project
- Additional "Appearance" options are now available, including User Meters

The following problems have been fixed in Cubase SX version 3.0.2
- dB Law: relative automation levels for multiple points or multiple event volumes do not retain their correct logarithmic dB relation
- Generic Remote: arming/disarming audio tracks could result in program freeze
- When changing the Audition Channel from one configuration to another (as from 5.1 to stereo) the mixer isn't updated immediately. Audition Channel is missing
- Link Editor preference does not work with MIDI list editor
- Closing the application with "Ctrl+W" and a surround panner open will cause crash
- Synchronization: Timecode Source = ASIO Audio Device: Record does not work if you push record before SX/Cubase goes into sync although tracks are record-enabled. Cubase goes only into Play mode
- Some windows are "gone" when a project was saved on a dual-monitor setup but is loaded on a single-monitor setup
- Realtime-time stretching of event is not reflected in audiotempo/ tempodefinition-tool in sample-editor
- Margins in Print Dialog may not be recognized
- Audio files from frozen audio material won't be deleted after "prepare archive" is executed
- The first send slot of the Default Output Bus is setup automatically with the Audition Channel as a destination. Even if the user changes the destination, pressing the "Listen" button on any channel will change the send destination again to "Audition Channel"
- Text input not working in Japanese version
- Audio Channel button "Bypass all Sends" does not work after loading a project
- UNDO crossfades in "Fixed Lane" record mode can cause errors
- Playing QuickTime Video can cause random crashes if the system performance is maxed out and the preference "Show Video Thumbnails" is ON
- OMF: if fad in or fade out touches a crossfade, OMF export might fail - Function "Delete Time" may cause a crash
- "Rename" function does not work if "Date Format 1" is used
- Closing the application using the project window close button ("x") will cause crash
- Splitting a MIDI part resets the Transpose and Velocity information in the info line
- Drag & Drop from Pool may create wrong channel type
- "REX Shared Library.dll" – wrong version was used
- Track record arming irregularities
- In Extended Mixer view, the MIDI meters don't work on narrowed MIDI channels
- Levels for event volume and level automation can get stuck when set to "00"
- Opening the Drum Editor after enabling Score drum notation leads to crash
