Event grouping
Grouped events move together across the timeline and stay in synch when slipped. Groups get saved with your ACID Projects and respond to undo/redo commands as well as copy/paste commands.
Custom drum grid editor key maps
Use the Drum Map Editor to create and edit drum maps. A drum map assigns a drum sound to a specific note. When a drum map is defined for a soft synth, you can use a drum grid in the timeline to edit MIDI data.

These processes and filters perform mathematically perfect editing on MIDI events. Choose which notes and MIDI messages you want to record or exclude, modify key velocities, and quantize notes when performing on MIDI instruments.
MIDI track freeze
Projects that use soft synths can tax your computer's resources. Freezing MIDI tracks allows you to convert each MIDI track to a .wav file, effectively taking your soft synths offline.
Publish to SoundCloud

Multiport VSTi soft synth support
