Bremmers Audio Design has released version 4.1 of MultitrackStudio. This release focuses on user interface, MIDI editing and performance improvements.

User Interface improvements:

• New improved help system.
• Yellow hint balloons appear at more convenient locations.
• Hardware control surface support.
• Mixer sections can be collapsed to save space.
• Selector windows (the VST plugin selector etc.) can be resized.
• Level meters of recording audio tracks: right-hand segment flashes if overload occurred. Right-clicking resets it.
• The intensity (brightness) of the green displays and editors is adjustable.
• VST/DX windows: click the 'metal' to return keyboard focus to MultitrackStudio (if plugin has taken it).
• Chords and Lyrics. Can be displayed in almost any editor.
• Toggle Play, Rec, Mute or Edit buttons of all tracks simultaneously (use Ctrl key)

• Click Track Generator and Tempo Editor: tempo values can be entered by tapping on the space bar.
• Pianoroll: added big size view.
• Pianoroll: While selecting a part: if the selected notes make a chord the chord's name is displayed.
• Notation Editor: better 'cleaning up' of non-quantized notes.
• Notation Editor: added Tenor and Alto clefs.
• Drum Editor: delete, drag or change volume of similar notes in similar bars simultaneously.
• 'Mouse Modifiers' to edit individual notes quickly (volume, duration etc., or even 'expand to chord').

Performance improvements:

• 24 bit losslessly compressed .gjm and .gjs audio files (Pro Plus Edition only).
• Audio engine takes advantage of dual core CPU.
• MIDI file resolution doubled.
• Convolutor effect works faster when used 'live', or when using an Intel CPU (it was fast on AMD already).

Miscellaneous:

• Various other improvements and minor fixes.

The new version is free for users who purchased after May 1, 2005. The upgrade price is 33% of the full price otherwise.
