• Duplicating an instrument track now maintains the relative targeted VI Chain Out assignment (PT-320147)


Performance

• Instrument tracks are now running at the highest possible H/W Buffer size during playback when they have a Chain In input.  They will use the H/W Buffer size set in the playback engine when record enabled or using MIDI Thru.  This optimizes performance for playback, while reducing latency for record or live input (PT-320458)
