Companion Engineering & Design has announced that the next major version of Intuem, version 4, is nearing completion, with wider beta testing starting last week.

New features announced so far:

• Intuem 4 is a Universal Binary. The entire application runs natively on Intel Macs, yet being a universal binary it is also able to run on PowerPC Macs using Mac OS X Jaguar version 10.2.8 and up.
• Support for AudioUnits has improved greatly with much better handling of AudioUnit windows, broad support for AudioUnit presets and Intuem can now record automation directly from AudioUnit windows. Intuem 4 also has a new feature that integrates AudioUnits into your workflow "like no other application".
• Intuem 4 can now support large audio projects with very fast opening and saving, even on G3 Macs.
• The pencil tool has several new modes.
• Intuem provides direct access to popular track controls like current take, output device, play-through, MIDI program and so on right in the document window so you don't have to bring up the Inspector.
• Intuem's controller also gets a face-lift and a mind of its own.
• And much more...
