Gluing one MIDI event/part to the next
Clicking on a MIDI part with the Glue Tube tool glues it to the next 
part on the track. The parts do not have to touch one another. The 
resulting part will get the name of the first part:
If the Parts overlap, they are merged in the overlapping area, i.e. no 
events are lost.
The resulting long part will get the properties of the first part (the one on 
which you clicked). This includes part name, part mute status, etc.

Gluing an event to all following events of a track in one go
If you hold down [Alt]/[Option] and click on an event with the Glue 
Tube tool, this and all following events on that track will be glued to-
gether. You can also change the default key command for this in the 
Preferences dialog (Editing–Tool Modifiers page).

On the Project menu, you will find the new “Duplicate track” command.

You can also define a key command for this function.
Exporting selected tracks

Sample rate conversion when importing tracks
A track archive may contain media files with a sample rate that is dif-
ferent from the sample rate of your currently active project. When im-
porting such a track archive, the Import Options dialog will show the 
different sample rates and an additional option in the Media Options 
section:
“Perform Sample Rate Conversion” is available in the Import Options dialog.
In the Media Options section of the Import Options...

The Stereo Pan Law modes
In the Project Setup dialog there is a pop-up menu named “Stereo Pan 
Law”, on which you can select a pan mode. These different pan modes 
provide gain compensation. This is necessary because without com-
pensation, the gain of the sum of the left and right side will be higher 
(louder) if a channel is panned center than if it’s panned left or right. 
This is described in the chapter “The mixer” in the Operation Manual.

Resizing tracks in the Track list
With the introduction of version 3.1 of the program, you have now the 
possibility to resize a track in the Track list without automatically select-
ing it. This is a handy feature when “Enlarge Selected Track” is acti-
vated (see page 14). 
Normally, a track automatically gets selected when it is being resized 
in the Track list. With Enlarge Selected Track activated, it is therefore 
impossible to change the track size for a...

Inspector sub panels
Normally, when a MIDI track is routed to a VST instrument, a new sub 
panel (with the name of the instrument) is added to the inspector for 
the selected track.
This is now also the case in the following situations:
• When a MIDI track is routed to an external instrument or effect that has an asso-
ciated MIDI Device. In this case, the new sub panel gets the name of the device.
• When a MIDI track is routed to an effect plug-in that also...
