Sion Software has released QuickScore Elite Level II v11.0, which adds several new features to the 48-track scoring and sequencing program for Windows, including VST instrument and effect plug-in support.

New features:

• Audio Editor window
  The Audio Editor can be used to edit audio data such as vocals or sound effects. As many tracks as can fit on the screen can be seen at once.
• QuickAudio
  QuickAudio lets you edit, play and record digital audio as well as convert between various popular audio formats. It has standard audio editing features, audio spectrum analysis as well as support for up to 24 VST plugins.
• VST Plugins
  VST plugins extend QuickScore's functionality in many different ways. You can load new virtual software synthesizers, drum kits and orchestral sounds. You can edit and morph your audio, and generate new MIDI or audio material.
• Import notes from audio files
  Extract notes from audio data. The notes are inserted into the track containing the audio data and can be displayed and edited using any of QuckScore's note editors.
• Easier drum tracks
  In the Piano Roll Editor simply click on the Show Drum Names button to show the drum name associated with each pitch. Click on it again to hide the drum names.

QuickScore Elite Level II costs $179.95 and a demo version is available. Various upgrade and cross-grade options are also available.
