52 WHAT'S NEW SINCE 10.1
• If you select the "Grid option affects automation curve points" (System options ->
Program -> General), then you can set automation points during moving to the values
set for the grid
• Drawing modifiers now for plug-in/instrument/and mixer area: One temporary switch to
be able to write automation during playback in "Read" mode using the key combination
"Ctrl + Alt + Switch/Fader" directly in the plug-in/instrument/fader area. This way you can
easily make an automated recording at any point in time. As long as you hold down the
key combination, you can also automate the selected parameters in "Read" mode. By
clicking a mixer/VST control element (while stopped) with this modifier, the
corresponding, inactive curve will be automatically created for you to edit
Optimized multi-CPU strategy
Optimized CPU capacity is supported in Samplitude for up to 8 CPUs. The most important
modifications:
• Improved multi-CPU bus handling
• Improved Economy Engine performance for active master effects
Mixer
• You can rearrange individual channel strips in the track number box or name box via
drag & drop. The mouse pointer turns into a hand.
• A newly added AUX bus is always displayed in the arranger at the bottom and in the
mixer to the right with the highest channel.
The following effects inserts are now also available in the master area:
• Amp simulation
• Distortion
• Cleaning, Suite Effects (DeClicker/DeCrackler, DeClipper, DeNoiser, Brilliance Enhancer)
MIDI / VSTi features
• MIDI editor step recording via keyboard or via MIDI entry:
TAB : One step forwards (set pause)
SHIFT + TAB : One step backwards
CTRL + ARROW UP/DOWN : Switch entry octave
CDEFGAHB : Note entry in current octave position
SHIFT : Enter chords
• As an alternative to the "All Notes Off" mechanism, an individual "Note Off" mechanism is
available for VST instruments, since "All Notes Off" is ignored by some VST instruments.
You can now completely shut off "All Notes Off for VSTis in the MIDI settings.
• Optional "Note On Chasing" in MIDI system settings
• ASIO buffer latency balancing for external MIDI data
• New "Soft snap" function in the MIDI menu "Options -> Soft snap"
• MIDI object freeze: Replaces the MIDI objects in the audio return signal of a software
instrument with audio objects. The audio return signal must be routed to the MIDI track
to do this.
