Whether you work with MIDI, audio, or both, Pro Tools LE 6.7 software offers powerful, flexible new features for music composers and musicians. The Pro Tools LE 6.7 release appears to have been developed specifically for inspired musicians who require world-class tools to support and accelerate the creative process. With Pro Tools LE 6.7 software, MIDI sequencing capabilities are more comprehensive than ever, while MIDI recording, editing and mixing features are still as easy to work with as audio.
The audio and MIDI feature set in Pro Tools LE 6.7 has been greatly expanded to deliver tempo-dependent audio placement, tempo-dependent automation, graphic tempo editing, precise control of meter changes, MIDI step input, MIDI Detective, and Beat Detective LE (thank you Digidesign!). Pro Tools LE 6.7 also brings true cross-platform parity for simplified session transfer with major MIDI functionality enhancements to Windows.
