Sagan Technology has made available a pre-release version of Metro v6.3.1.

The following list includes changes to Metro, Metro SE and Metro LX. Some changes may not be applicable to specific products.

New to this version:

  • Drag and Drop has been vastly improved so that you can drag a MIDI or audio file to a precise time and track in either the graphic editor or Tracks editor. This makes working with plug-ins like Stylus RMX and iDrum much less complicated. This will work for both type 0 and type 1 MIDI files but type 1 MIDI files must contain only a single track. If multiple files are dragged or a type 1 MIDI file with more than 1 track is dragged the destination will be either a new track or a new section. Drag and drop to the graphic editor in this way is automatically quantized to the nearest bar as indicated in the upper left of the graphic editor.
  • Stationery documents are back. Metro detects any document with an extension of .msd as a Metro Stationery Document. This will allow users to load in the document but the document will not set the current filename. This means that save will bring up a 'save as' dialog preventing the original document from being implicitly overwritten.
  • The jukebox will not scroll to the active playing song if playback scrolling is in edit mode.
  • Standard bank select MIDI controllers (0 and 32) are recognized when passed through MIDI thru and presented in the graphic editor.
  • In the Rhythm Explorer pattern algorithms there is a 13% chance that a given pattern will search for a drum track and groove quantize to it. If the option key is held when generating patterns the chance rises to 100%.
  • Auto detection of soft-synth bank and patch changes (for plug-ins like Absynth 3). If a patch is changed within a plug-in's user interface, Metro does a better job by noticing it and keeping the current program name display in sync.
  • Multiple instances of plug-ins are now more aptly named. For example, the second Absynth 3 instance will be named Absynth 3-2 instead of Absynth 4.

For the complete list of bug fixes please see the version history.
