A new Beta update is available.

Key Features

Layout Switching

You can now switch between 'Place and Route Devices' and 'Pick Sounds and Compose'. This supports the traditional Audiotool routing method and allows fast transitions between detailed device editing and quick sketching without workspace reconfiguration. When using the classic Audiotool workflow, editors now replace the studio panel. If you are on smaller screens these changes should help. Keep your feedback coming!

Bounce Track

Audio can be bounced directly from a mixer strip to a sample. Choose between the full track or the selected loop range, which is similar to the “Bounce Timeline” feature in the previous Studio version.

Soundbar

The Soundbar offers a compact view of the entire signal chain, including all effects. Effects can be reordered directly within this view, eliminating the need to move them on the desktop. It also allows navigation to instruments on the desktop, and adding or removing effects.

Curated Templates

New projects can be started from feature templates or complete demo tracks. Note for the future: This is the first step towards private and community templates.

UI Updates

  • Copy/Paste Tracks: Selected timeline tracks can be copied and pasted with the entire FX chain. Using Alt+Ctrl+V pastes them in place as single tracks.
  • List selection now supports range selection using Shift, and individual item toggling with Ctrl/Cmd.
  • Mixer/Stagebox: Multiple selected strips can now be deleted simultaneously.
  • Mixer: Channel strip FX labels have been adjusted for clearer identification of the referenced effect.
  • Timeline and desktop stability and speed have been improved.
  • Desktop: Added 'Connect to' context menu option to devices for easier device connection.
  • MIDI Editor: Context menu Quantize is now synchronized with the quantize settings in the MIDI editor side panel.
  • Mixer: A mini-display for the mixer group aux insert effect chain has been added.
  • Mixer: Clicking solo on one mixer channel now un-solos other channels, unless Shift is held.
  • Preferences: More settings and state (e.g., loop range) are now stored locally per user and project and persist after reloading.
  • Minor speed enhancements in the timeline.

UI Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue preventing large projects from opening on low-performance devices; project data now loads in batches.
  • Timeline: Fixed mute/solo buttons not displaying on specific track types.
  • Transport: Fixed inaccurate time display calculation when tempo automation is present.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred in scenarios where the signal was looping through a Centroid.

Keep testing in new projects. Let us know what still needs work.
