Advanced Arranger (Play Order Track), new pattern-based features to enhance creative experimentation with song arrangement as well as offer new ways of using Cubase for live performance. CUBASE came next I believe though the separation between the two leaders and CUBASE was pretty significant. Cubase Elements is the most basic of the three packages for bands, songwriters, and musicians.Global Transpose Track, makes it so easy to create new musical arrangements based on loops, or experiment with chord progressions without having to edit each part on each track individually.Track Quick Controls, set of eight user-definable realtime controllers gives ultra-fast access to any parameter available on the current track.Redesigned Sample Editor, more ergonomic and quicker to use thanks to a new Inspector-style section.Free Routing + Recording from Summing Objects, new routing capabilities allow totally unlimited routing between group channels regardless of their order, and supports sending from groups to FX returns as well as from FX returns into group channels.
