They have added some amazing tools and features. I hope the bakers are watching.

I was just going to post but you beat me to it. Like you said, some pretty cool features. Looks like another upgrade to buy.

They've copied the Sonar FX chains idea and added some unique twists.

And they include loops too!!!

I actually like the looks of the arrangement tools they put together. Highlight a section of the timeline call it something like chorus. Then you just drag and drop, copy or paste the named section. It moves everything that sits on that portion of the timeline. Very nice.
 
It sounds like their sampler will run kontakt libraries pre version 5. Perfect for Bitflipper.

In what way? They've  had  FXChains for a while.

They've moved away from the Presonus blue to SONAR black/dark grey.

The Scratch Pad & Arranger Track features look nice.
