The app boasts a suite of enhancements, including a dynamic sound browser, over 100 instruments and effects plugins, and a professional-grade mixer console.
According to Apple’s press release, the incorporation of Multi-Touch gestures enables a seamless interaction between music creators and the software instruments, allowing for natural control and efficient project navigation.
