Arranger Track

The Arranger track is an arrangement tool that provides several workflow benefits:
Easily rearrange sections of the entire project as one unit instead of moving individual clips. For example, instantly swap the positions of the first and second chorus for all tracks, or copy the first verse in order to double its duration.
Experiment with different song structures in a non-destructive and non-linear manner. For example, does your song work best in AABA, ABAB, or ABAC song form? Define time range sections and sequence them in any order without destructively moving any clip data. You can even save multiple arrangements within each project.
Create a color coded overview of the song structure, and use the Arranger Inspector to quickly navigate around the project and jump to song sections.
Create arbitrary song sections anywhere on the project timeline, then later string them together for seamless playback.
Sections provide an additional way to perform time based selections and edits of the project.
Create an unlimited number of arrangements per project, which can all be exported simultaneously.
Arranger functionality is distributed across two views:
Arranger track. To show or hide the Arranger track, click the Track view View menu and choose Arranger Track Show/Hide, or press A. The Arranger track timeline shows all defined sections. You can drag to create and rearrange sections, then freely move them along the timeline. Any changes in the Arranger timeline are immediately reflected in the Arranger Inspector’s Sections list, and vice versa.
Arranger Inspector. To show/hide the Arranger Inspector, click the Show/Hide Arranger button at the top of the Inspector pane, or press ALT+SHIFT+I.

Misc. Features & Enhancements

ProChannel module presets. In addition to saving presets of the entire ProChannel chain (all modules), you can also save and load presets of individual modules. The per module preset controls are located on the left side of each module header bar.
Several ProChannel module presets have been provided in this release.
Copy/paste settings between ProChannel modules. You can copy settings from any ProChannel module and paste the settings to any other instance of the same module on any track or bus.
Append per-output Instrument tracks. When you insert a multi-timbral soft synth, you can specify how many Instrument output tracks to create, up to the maximum supported by the synth. If you do not initially create the maximum number of available output tracks, you can later add additional tracks on demand from the Synth Rack view or the track strip context menu.
App has been updated for all languages.
The Display Clip Fade Attenuation option in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Display is now available as a key binding.
Audio Driver Mode in Preferences now changes immediately without needing to click the Apply button.
Updated to latest VST3 SDK, which includes VST bug fixes.

Behavior Changes

The behavior of the 'Track(s)' counter has changed when inserting a multi-timbral soft synth via the Add Track menu. When Instrument Track Per Output or Split Instrument Track is selected, the Track(s) counter now specifies how many Instrument output tracks to create instead of how many unique instances of the synth to create.
CTRL+DELETE deletes tracks.
Delete Track only deletes the focused track if the focused track is not also selected.
When a combination of tracks and track folders are selected, the context menu displays 'Delete Selected Tracks and Folders'.
'Enable/Disable Enhanced Keyboard Editing Mode' shortcut is unassigned by default.
The default keyboard shortcut (0 on the numeric keypad) to enable/disable Enhanced Keyboard Editing Mode has been removed. To enable/disable Enhanced Keyboard Editing Mode, go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Keyboard Shortcuts and assign Enhanced Keyboard Editing to an unused keyboard shortcut.
'Bypass All Audio Effects' shortcut is unassigned by default. To bypass all audio effect, click the Bypass all Effects button in the Control Bar’s Mix module.
Horizontal zooming no longer centers Now Time.
When zooming with the mouse wheel or CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT ARROW shortcuts, if the Now Time is currently within view, its position will be retained while zooming. If the Now Time is not present in the view, the zoom behavior is unchanged.
ProChannel modules display friendly short names.
