Quick overview:

• Up to 60 (stereo) samples simultaneously (depending on processor power and harddisk controller).
  
  
• Any sample rate is supported (depending on the used soundcard).
  
  
• Full duplex recording for simultaneous recording and playback.
  
  
• Each mixer channel gives you control over the following features:
  
  • Volume
  • Panning
  • Mute
  • Solo
  • Subgroup (1-4) assignment
  • 3 insert effects with on/off switch
  • 3-band EQ with on/off switch
  • 4 Aux sends
  
  Every channel has a separate PPM volume display.
  
  
• Separate window for 4 subgroups with volume, mute and solo per group.
  
  
• Full mixer-automation: channel volume, panning, mutes, master volume, subgroup volumes, subgroup mutes and even insert effect parameters can be automated. Automation events can be edited directly on the timeline or through an event list. They can also be recorded during playback by mouse or MIDI remote control (touch and latch mode).
  
  
• OS4 native realtime effects with real-time parameter control, on/off switch and metering (where applicable). Possible CPU overload is detected, preventing lock-ups during playback.
  
  
• Expansion window with direct access to a 3-band equalizer and 4 auxillaries (effect sends).
  
  
• Non-destructive non-linear editing (cut, copy, paste, move, split, trim, crossfade) using the time line display.
  
  
• Unlimited undo for time line editing operations.
  
  
• Regionize tool: find pauses or moments of relative silence and automatically place markers or split the region into subregions. The marker information can be exported to the CD burning package BurnIt which is great for mastering old vinyl records or live recordings: all separate tracks can be identified automatically.
  
  
• Grid options to align regions: grid size can be set in milliseconds, bars/beats up to 1/64th note and videoframes (24, 25, 30fps)
  
  
• A marker mechanism on top of the timeline lets you place locators, punch in/out markers and the time marker easily, giving quick and accurate access to these items.
  
  
• Metronome and time signature settings.
  
  
• Separate window for (destructive) sample editing with the usual features like cut, copy, paste and erase range. Direct to disk, not limited by memory.
  
  
• Effect plug-ins like Compressor, Delay, Noise Gate, Chorus, 3-Band EQ, Parametric EQ and Reverb can be applied both realtime and non-realtime.
  
  
• Synchronisation to other equipment or applications:
  
  • MIDI (by direct serial port communication or using the CAMD library):
    By sending a MIDI start-command and a Song Position Pointer, you can synchronize audio with an external MIDI sequencer. You can also receive MIDI start-commands.
  • AREXX
  • Bars&Pipes sync tool
  • Master Control Bus to synchronize to and control other applications that support the MCB. The MCB will be released for OS4.
  
  
  
• Dolby Pro Logic encoder for mastering 4 mono tracks to the Dolby Pro Logic surround format. Note that this is only an experimental tool: no realtime auditioning or sound positioning is possible.
  
  
• Project-based: a separate directory for each separate project is created to manage your samples in an easier way.
