There's some very solid new additions for Pop/Rockers this year, Ian.

*Pop Strings

*Also a RealTracks String Quartet that has some real possibilities. During the beta, I tried it out with Paul McCartney's Yesterday chords. Add a guitar, and, sweet.

*Loops now support Acidized Loops, so that tempo/chord root info is automatic - this one feature has HUGE implications for those wishing to be able to nail Pop music hooks, riffs, etc.

*A Legato Strings feature automatically
optimizes MIDI string parts to prevent retriggering the same notes. -- This one feature really makes a Sonic Difference, more Realism.

*8 new Hi-Q MIDI sounds, including new pianos, basses.

*41 Pop/Rock RealTracks:
Hot!- New Orleans Boogie styles added (piano, bass, drums, guitar). Horn Section Background ‘Pad’ style added. Funky Electric Piano and Clav from piano legend John Jarvis. 60’s/70;s funk grooves - bass, piano and drums. New
Dance Synth tracks. Baritone Sax Blues backgrounds and more!


I likely missed a few other New Features or Improvements that would apply to your chosen genres.
