Tracktion has announced the release of a major update of its creative, inspirational and affordable digital audio workstation.
Waveform Pro 13 comes with various additions such as a clip launcher, support for a range of popular launchpad style controllers, a new Wavetable synthesizer, user interface improvements, and more.
The new clip launcher allows you to drag MIDI, Step or Audio clips into the grid, or you can choose to record directly into a slot while getting visual input feedback in the clip.
Sequence actions can be used to quickly build complex arrangements algorithmically. Choose from the list of actions, stack them and adjust the probability of each for human-like variation or wild, unpredictable sequences. Sometimes you’ll want to capture these rich sonic performances and happy accidents; enter Performance Recording. Performance Recording prints the performance to the arranger window providing the opportunity to edit, mix and further arrange your ideas later on.
The included Wavetable synthesizer features 2 wavetable oscillators, a sub and noise oscillator. A selection of 150 wavetables is included, and you can create your own by dragging and dropping a .wav file onto an oscillator (Serum format wavetables are also supported). The synth comes with 2 filters (parallel or serial), 5 effects which can be dragged into any order, and a flexible modulation system with 4 LFOs, 3 envelopes and step LFO sources.
Version 13 of Waveform Pro comes with a fresh palette of colors, a selection of new schemes to choose from, and the option of creating and saving your own schemes. The update also includes various users requested features:
- Record without having any inputs armed for easier punching.
- Option to “Mute track contents whilst recording” aka “Tape Style”.
- Auto-monitor record mode monitors when inputs are armed.
- Start flag where playback can optionally start from.
- Improved Ableton Link support with option to sync start/stop + option for manual offset.
Furthermore, Waveform Pro 13 ships with new content from prolific sound design team Mode Audio.
Waveform Pro 13 for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi is priced $199 USD, and owners of Waveform can upgrade from $99 USD.
