ZTX PRO™ technology from Zynaptiq™ ensures the highest possible audio quality throughout. For global tempo control, users can simply enable Stretch mode on a per-track basis and the entire audio track instantly conforms to the project tempo and time line, even with gradual tempo changes over time. The new Stretch edit layer for audio tracks lets users drag individual beats and their anchor points to make precision adjustments to achieve exactly the feel they want. The Clips window allows users to combine clip triggering with linear, track-based playback and live mixing. Clips can be added and removed, as inspiration strikes, from their computer or any MIDI controller.

Users can now drag and drop audio and MIDI clips from DP's new Content Browser into Clips window cells and trigger them in real time, interactively, for live performance or on-the-fly inspiration while creating new material.
