The DAW adds two instruments, Verve and Etude. Verve is a highly detailed felt piano for textured soundscapes. Etude provides the expressive depth of a Yamaha C3X concert grand, with subtle harmonic richness in the upper register and deep, warm tones in the lower octaves. Both instruments integrate with Cubasis and other AUv3-compatible DAWs.

Version 3.8 adds Amp Rack and Bass Amp bundles for guitarists and bass players, with collections of well-known amplifier models and a versatile range of effects pedals. An updated tuner offers simple and advanced modes, a very fast response and easy controls for accurate tuning of any instrument. Other improvements include Bluetooth audio recording; audio input/output device selection; MIDI file import and export of tempo and time signature data; a new portrait mode; and external display support.
