Version 15 Innovations

The new melodic pattern generator lets you create expressive musical sequences in monophonic and polyphonic modes with step input, customizable scales, and an intelligent randomizer. The Expression Maps system has been fully updated: simplified setup, attack compensation for each articulation, and deep integration with note and keyboard editors.

Artificial intelligence lends a hand with Stem Separation - instant extraction of individual tracks from a finished mix for remixing, rebalancing, and creative sample work. New modulation tools expand your sound design palette: random value generator, sample and hold, wave LFO, and other modules open new horizons for experimentation.

Next-generation plugins include UltraShaper for precise dynamic control with transient shaping, clip limiting, and equalization, plus Pitch Shifter with formant preservation, saturation modes, and a ±24 semitone range - delivering professional results directly within your project.

Workflow Improvements

The updated central hub makes project launching smoother than ever: resizable sections, quick audio setup, project previews, and powerful search tools. Automation has gotten smarter: new keyboard shortcuts automatically display the last modified parameter, a streamlined menu speeds up editing access, and precise feedback during zooming shows exact value changes.

Folder tracks can now include a summing group channel function - automatic routing, full mixer control, and expandable automation make organizing large projects cleaner and faster. Video export supports 4K, Full HD, HD 720p, and SD resolutions with an improved GPU-based engine for high speed and reliability.
