New Features & Improvements

- CV Instrument – Modulators: Four new modulation sources, usable as LFOs or ADSR envelopes, each with its own CV output.
- Shared Virtual Instruments: Virtual instruments can now be loaded globally and saved as Instrument Sets, so they do not need to be reloaded for every session.
2. Arrangement & Editing
- Pitch Curves on Audio Events: Pitch automation directly on Audio Events, with a ±2 octave range and semitone- or cent-accurate editing.

- Score Editor – Repeats & Flow Directions: Repeats, DS, Coda, and other flow symbols are now supported and reflected in the Arrangement.

- Improved “Bypass master effects”: New dropdown options for pre inserts, post inserts, all inserts, or inserts plus fader.
- Audio Mixdown Default Name: Exported mixdown files now default to the Session or Mastering Project name.
