Vocoder
Combine two input signals to create an entirely new sound processed by an array of bandpass filters. Turn your voice or any audio source into a unique synth or effect. Vocoder will inspire you to play with audio.

Advanced Mixer with Fader Flip
Control FX/Bus sends, sidechains, and Cue Mix sends all from the main faders. Just right-click on the desired send and select “Flip" to control the entire send mix for the selected bus from the channel faders. Unassigned channels can be hidden from view or activated as needed.
Alternative Panning Modes
You can now choose between balance, dual or binaural panning for any stereo channel.

Browser Favorites & Folders
Organize plug-in and instrument presets into custom folders that you can create right inside the Browser. Presets for plug-ins and virtual instruments can now be marked as Favorites. Presets marked as Favorites are automatically mirrored inside a new “Favorites” folder at the top of the respective preset list.
