History
The company was founded in 1984 by Karl Steinberg and Manfred Rürup with the support of Nicole Rürup with headquarters in Hamburg. Its first product was the MIDI sequencer Pro 16 for the Commodore 64. The company achieved great success with the Pro 24 product introduced in 1986 for the Atari ST series of computers, taking advantage of their built in MIDI ports. This product was revamped into the Cubase product in 1989 which was later also offered for Macintosh and Windows. The company changed its name from Steinberg Research to Steinberg Soft- und Hardware GmbH, and was active in the United States for some years as Steinberg North America, Inc.
In January 2003, Steinberg was acquired by U.S. firm Pinnacle Systems, within which it operated as an independent company before being sold to Yamaha Corporation in December, 2004.

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.
