• Song key signature with detection
• Chord transpose
• ARA 2 support
• Expanded “Send to Notion” option for lead sheet creation
• Ripple edit mode
• Relative bar offset for songs
• “Remove gaps” for Events
• Improved Note Repeat
  • Note Repeat now has its own section in the Record Panel
  • Activate/deactivate Note Repeat

  • Activate/deactivate Note Erase
  • Set the gate time for notes
  • Use key or poly pressure to control note velocity
  • Quantize notes to the song grid (similar to Quantize in Impact XT)
  • Use Key Remote mode to control all Note Repeat functions from a keyboard controller.
  • In Single Mode, the last pitch played before the mode was turned on is triggered from all remote keys at different repeat rates
  • Set the base note for remote keys
  • Set the sound triggered by the remote keys
  • Sets the remote keys range; the higher the range, the more functions you can control using remote keys
  • With Note Erase active while in Record, playing a key will erase any note events recorded on that key
  Pipeline XT
• Automatic latency compensation: Instead of sending a “ping” through the external effects processor and adjusting the delay manually, you can now simply click the Auto button after setting up the send and return connections, and the latency will be measured and compensated automatically. You can then use the Offset parameter to make manual adjustments.
• The maximum delay has been increased from 5,000 samples to 32,000 samples.
• The stereo Pipeline XT plug-in now supports mono sends without losing a second hardware output.
• As with Impact XT and Sample One XT, you can choose between eight background colors.
• Take a snapshot of your external effects processor and drag it into the Pipeline XT center display to capture hardware settings for later “manual recall.” Click on the image to expand it to full size. You can switch between image view, ping view, and oscilloscope.
• A new note pad allows you to add text notes to your presets to document specific setup instructions and parameter settings for your external hardware processor.
• Background color, device names, custom images, and text notes are saved with your Pipeline XT presets.
• Using Pipeline XT no longer forces real-time export and bouncing when Pipeline XT isn’t in the current audio signal chain.

Tempo automation is especially sweet

Didn't have a lot of time to play with it, but that Hi DPI for plugins really is huge for my UAD stuff on the big 4K. Most of them work well with it. They don't all need it, but some of them were so tiny on my monitor I had to use the magnifier to use them.  Now I don't!  Might be my imagination, but it also seemed like the text was crisper on some of those little plugin windows even before I made them bigger with that option.

Downloading 4 Pro now.  
 

4.1 fixes the Melodyne glitch - Melodyne now opens correctly, and first time, in Studio One.

Is it a paid upgrade? I didn't see that on the page.
