Tracktion - Waveform Pro 12.5 (Upgrade from Waveform Pro 11)
What's New in 12.5
The most creative, inspirational and affordable DAW ever created.
Waveform is a rapidly evolving application specifically designed for the needs of modern music producers.
Specializing in creative and inspirational workflows and avoiding features not explicitly needed allow the app to remain surprisingly fun and intuitive.
Improved Quick Actions
Multiple quick action bars can now be stacked in the arrange window with a simple click of a button. Further improvements come in the form of visual icons which are now on hand and can be added with a right-click.
Entirely New Browser
The browser has been completely overhauled offering intuitive new ways to browse, tag, and favorite. A new categorized approach allows you to select and search by Plugins, Presets, Racks, Samples, Clips, Tracks, or All. Making the search experience both cleaner and more efficient.
Brand New BassOSC Instrument
Create the perfect sub effortlessly with the brand new BassOSC synth. A minimal, yet carefully laid out UI allows for quick adjustments while a wave type and drive knob are on hand for character and grit.
Dual Guitar IR
Dual Guitar IR is a low-latency, dual Impulse Response (IR) convolver developed as a cabinet simulator for guitar and bass amplifiers and pre-amplifiers.
The single Guitar IR plugin is less CPU intensive and is offered to suit live performance, simple process chain simulations, and can easily be loaded onto other instruments for interesting acoustic effects.
Utility Plugins
Waveform 12 also adds 6 of the most commonly requested utility tools, including an AB Switch, A convert to Mono tool, a Mid/Side splitter, a Spectrum analyzer, Plus MIDI CC, and a MIDI Note Name plugin.
15 Refreshed Audio Effects
Waveforms' entire collection of stock DSP plugins has been refreshed, bringing much-improved performance, functionality, and visual appearance.
Advanced MIDI
Waveform 12 adds powerful new filters to its advanced MIDI editor, including Notes in Key, Notes in use, and named notes, making composition and editing faster than ever.
MIDI Randomization
In Waveform 12 Velocity, pitch, note start, and note length can all be randomized via dedicated popup windows. Simply choose between a more human or more random performance and then dial in the strength control to taste.
New Drum Grid Mode
Turbocharge your programming with a drum-centric alternative to the Piano Roll. Mouse clicking to enter and reposition drum hits is now far quicker and more intuitive.
MIDI Strum
Inject instant movement and realism with MIDI strum. Simply select chord(s) in the midi editor and simply command drag to create a strum performance.
Rewritten Audio Engine
Our developers have painstakingly and completely rewritten the audio engine resulting in greatly reduced CPU load, perfect PDC in all routing configurations, and better support for modern machines with a higher number of CPU cores.
Added Controller Support
Controller integration has been greatly improved with added support for a selection of ICON, Behringer, Presonus, and Native Instruments controllers, with more being added all the time.
