64-Bit support
For the first time Samplitude Pro X offers you the opportunity to take advantage of a 64-bit application and to use 64-bit plug-ins. Furthermore you can still use of your 32-bit plug-ins. These are operated by an internal bridge and can be combined with any 64-bit plug-ins.

It goes without saying that Samplitude Pro X works on 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. The main difference is in the amount of RAM available. On a 64-bit operating system a 32-bit application can use up to 4 GB of RAM (twice as much as on a Microsoft Windows 32-bit version), while a native 64-bit application is capable of using far more RAM (up to a terabyte, depending on the system components).

Similarly even demanding plug-ins or complex mixes can lead to performance increases.
 
New docking concept
The Docking System allows for interface adjustments, this means that the program can be optimized for the studio's requirements. Central components of the software can be repositioned or maximized using drag and drop. Choose to either arrange or display the analyzer, file browser or transport console etc.

The docking concept was further developed and optimized for Samplitude Pro X. So now for example the object editor, visualizations and MIDI editor can be docked neatly. Of course, you can create your own toolbar too.

By saving your own work spaces you can use customized program interfaces for various situations so that you always have the appropriate tools to hand.

Spectral editing on track level
Remove unwanted sounds like coughing or clapping, without affecting the original signal audibly. The new spectral editing feature enables track-level spectral editing.

In this way corrections can be made directly in the arrangement.

Using a spectrogram, unwanted noises are quickly identified according to their color representation and removed - ideal for short, clear noises.

AAF / OMF support
Data exchange between various DAWs and exporting to various interfaces can cost lots of time.

Samplitude Pro X now offers integrated OMF/AAF support to simplify data exchange between programs and platforms.
Together with the EDL export for MAGIX Video Pro X and compatibility to other products from the Samplitude/Sequoia family, Samplitude Pro X can be seamlessly integrated into almost every form of digital audio editing, without slowing down the work flow.

5.1 Surround mixing
Samplitude Pro X offers several possibilities for mixing audio material 5.1 Surround. Any number of playback devices may be assigned to all of the Surround master's channels, and the audio material may be divided between the existing Surround busses.

But not only tracks, also individual objects may be routed directly to the Surround master for editing via the Surround panorama module.
Furthermore existing projects can also be mixed in the Surround format.

Tempo track
With help from the new tempo track you can change the playback speed of any part of a MIDI arrangement. This function gives the user the opportunity to make creative tempo changes and to adjust MIDI arrangements to existing audio material.

Additionally there are explicit modes for adjusting beat grid and MIDI arrangements to available audio material, or to tap in the beat grid. This function gives the user the opportunity to make creative tempo changes and to adjust MIDI arrangements to existing audio material.

essentialFX Suite
The new essentialFX Suite is a collection of 10 first-class effect plug-ins and is suited for all every day studio applications. In addition to high-quality algorithms, great importance was placed on practical icons for the individual parameters and the effectiveness of the function.

The uniform operation concept, combined with low resources demands for top quality production, makes the essentialFX suite a collection of high-quality audio tools for all-around tasks.
