Metro SE Description

Easy-to-learn high-powered sequencer for the design of professional audio projects. Metro is a fast-operating, easy-to-learn high-powered sequencer for the design of professional audio projects. It stands alone as a complete and integrated MIDI, audio and video production system. Metro SE is a powerful audio system that supports up to 64 audio tracks. Each track can have its own effect chain. Eight aux busses are also supported. Each with their own chain. Chains can be made up of VST effects and/or AudioUnits (OS X only). VST 2.0 is supported. All effects can be automated. Real-time editing is encouraged. Software audio play-thru allows the original audio to be recorded regardless of what plug-ins are currently in use. Here are some key features of "Metro SE": · Support for OS X CoreAudio and CoreMIDI technology including the Audio MIDI Setup application. · AudioUnit V1 and V2 plug-in support. · Support for AudioUnit Synthesizers including Apple's built-in DLS/SoundFont II. Easily select any compatible SoundFont. Program names generated automatically. · Convert AudioUnit synthesizers to audio by mixing tracks. · Real-Time audio play-through. · Mapping of MIDI controllers to effects parameters for real time control. · Optional floating transport window. · High quality font support. · Support for VST instruments (VSTi) with up to 16 outputs using all 8 stereo aux busses. · Convert VST Instruments to audio quickly and easily by mixing tracks. · Real-Time low latency software audio play-through with effects while recording dry signal. · Mapping of MIDI controllers to effects parameters for real time control. This, for example, enables the use of a foot controller to control the Wah effect of a real time amp simulator plug-in. · Edit video in graphic editor while locked to audio and MIDI in a single window. · Reads MOV, MPG, AVI and all other QuickTime compatible formats. · Ability to record video from any source using the QuickTime sequence grabber. Use either the application or QuickTime to record audio synced to video. · Time-lapse video recording with user specified frames and seconds. · QuickTime movie synchronization improvements where user can specify to modify either Movie rate or Movie time. · Multiple Movie tracks. · Compressor specification for new Movie files. · 100's of Video effects and transitions. · Scrolling Text with two columns for standard Movie titles and many options. · Support for audio sample rates greater than 48k such as 88.2k and 96k Hz. · Support for bit sizes greater than 16 such as 24 and 32 and 32 bit float. · Pitch Time stretch via Scale time and Transpose to modify audio. Also option-drag regions to time stretch audio. · Re-sampling via Scale Time. · Improved Tempo changing with audio. Audio regions now maintain there start times when tempos are changed. · Define silence and remove silence of audio. · Support for reading Cubase VST plug-in effect programs (.fxp files) and banks (.fxb files). · Greatly improved support for loading of effects stored in documents on different computers. · Effect editor windows added to the windows menu. · Enhanced plug-in window with field sorting and contextual menu popup. · Much larger number of effects automation parameters can be edited and in-use automation parameters are flagged with an asterisk. · Automate built-in effect send, dry and wet faders. · Mix audio tracks to 16, 24 bit or 32 bit float and sample rates of 44k, 48k, 88k or 96k respectively. · New Aux Fader VU meters. · New Aux pan knobs. · Jukebox allows loading of multiple audio files. · Play all supported file types through effects (via aux buss) and out to ASIO or built-in device. · Supported audio types include MP3, AIFF, WAV, OGGV, compressed files and many more. · Load folders and save as presets. · Easily search for Artist or Song using partial words. · Complete support for reading and writing ID3 tags. · Convert files to Ogg Vorbis format. · Intelligent shuffle. · Auto-size fields. · Independent font and size enables using the jukebox as a stereo component device. (Infrared remote, not included). · New tracks overview with note and controller representation plus independent x,y zoom control. · New setup-tracks which are special MIDI tracks that only play once to setup your synthesizers. Usually used with Sysex. · MIDI thru All feature sends all channels straight thru to a different synthesizer. · Improved Remote Control. The ability to map controllers and controller ranges. · New remote control presets. · Improved Rhythm Explorer? arpeggiator algorithms and new phrase arpeggiator algorithm. · Save all program name lists assigned to a given MIDI port as a .ins file. · Insert all possible bank select messages from Event Editor. · The ability to record some synthesizers (such as the Korg Triton) arpeggiators when not in sequencer mode by pressing play after record in external sync mode. · Play while step recording option. · QuickTime Musical Instruments now built-in. · Expanding of loops now works for full track loops MIDI and Audio. · Live scrolling via proportional scroll thumbs. · New Master Fader VU meter. · New Golden Style. · Improved styles. Requirements: · 64 MB RAM minimum · 10 MB available hard disk space · For recording/playback at greater than 16 bit and 44.1 khz third party audio hardware required · CoreAudio or ASIO support may require compatible hardware and/or drivers · Fast hard disk (7200 rpm) strongly recommended Limitations: · Full version with save disabled. · Automatically quits after ~ 25 minutes · some features are disabled on demo mode What's New in This Release: · New to this version: 6.4.7.2 · Remember the last controller view for each track. · Option in plug-ins contextual menu 'Do Not Set Program On Open' works around a problem with Vember Audio's Surge. · Option in the real time arpeggiator for auto sync. When off sync is free running and no longer relative to the bar and beat position. · Option in the real time arpeggiator allows the user to set the number of velocity steps independent of the number of rhythm steps. · Further optimizations of the audio engine. Fixed in this version: · It is now possible to copy or cut a sequence and have the plug-ins instantiated on aux busses restored on paste. · Maximum system exclusive (sysex) buffer size has been increased to 2 megabytes. · Clearing a track that contained only MIDI controller automation data would not immediately refresh properly in the graphic editor. · The ability to import via drag and drop, larger MIDI files. · Better core audio support. · Improved on the fly audio recording including overdubbing muting inappropriately. · Undo of a section clear now works properly. · In some cases remote control would stop functioning after the play head passed the record punch out point during punch-in recording. · In some cases mixing tracks would not produce audio if certain tracks were muted. · Exporting a movie was not explicitly setting the default playback rate to normal speed. · Shifting certain automation data when no audio exists would sometimes fail. · Jukebox would update mysteriously after last song played if overall looping was off. · Using the scale time feature on an audio and MIDI track would sometimes fail on the MIDI side.
