• Full Rewire 64-bit support.

Reworked Pattern Matrix with Slot Aliases:

• Alias individual pattern slots in the matrix, i.e. treat them like clips.
• Edit one slot and have changes propagate to all other aliases.
• Quickly clone or alias slots by dragging their edges.
• Use section headers to group parts of the song together.

Track Groups & Collapsing:

• Group tracks into logical units, collapse them for better overview.
• Flexible routing of group tracks.
• Collapsed tracks use minimal space, while still providing a quick overview.
• Pattern effects in groups will affect all member tracks simultaneously.
• Automatically collapse all tracks except the one you are focussing on.
• Color code tracks with adjustable background colors.

DSP Effects and Meta Devices:

• New DSP Multitap delay for spaced out filtered echo madness.
• New DSP Repeater for st-st-st-stuttery goodness.
• New DSP Exciter to make your mixes sparkle.
• New Meta Mixer allowing blending of modulation signals into one output.
• Improved EQs with bigger graphs and all values can be automated.
• Improved Send devices, which can now be individually panned.
• New and improved crossover filters for the Multi Send device.

Sample Editor:

• Left & right channels can be edited separately.
• Zoom level & current selection are remembered per sample.
• Significantly faster sample loading.
• Destructively render slices to individual samples.
• Improved keyboard and mouse selection handling.
• Improved marker and waveform display visibility.
• New and improved processing tools (mute selection, insert silence, invert phase, swap stereo channels and cross-fading loop creator).
• Improved Spectrum View.
• New Phase Correlation Meter in Phase Scope.
• Side-by-side comparison of two tracks in the spectrum view.
• New drawing modes: Filled Curve, Bar and Spectrogram.
• Configurable frequency scaling, precision, peak fall rate, and slope.

Pattern Effects:

• Pattern effects in the master or group tracks will affect all member tracks.
• Up to 34 DSP devices can be addressed via pattern commands 1xyy-Yxyy.
• New pattern effects: Tremolo, Auto Pan, Set Envelope Position.
