Upgraded
Expression Maps accelerate orchestral articulation, while the
Melodic Pattern Sequencer generates expressive patterns with scales, step input, and a randomizer. AI-powered
stem separation liberates remixing and sampling, and
UltraShaper centralizes auto-compensating compression, transient shaping, limiting, and sculpting EQ. Add to that a real-time PitchShifter (+/- 24 semitones with formants), six brand-new modulators, a redesigned Hub, Quick Export, Track Controls (volume/pan), resizable plug-ins, Groove Agent SE 6, and fresh content (kits, presets, packs).
