Metro is a fast-operating, easy-to-learn high-powered
sequencer for the design of professional audio projects.
It's a complete and integrated MIDI, audio and video
production system.
Metro's main engineering design goals are stability and
performance respectively.
The audio system supports up to 128 audio tracks. Each
track, aux buss or mixer channel can have its own effect
chain. Chains can be made up of VST effects and/or
AudioUnits (OS X only). VST 2.x is supported. All effects
can be automated. Real-time editing is encouraged. Software
audio play-thru allows the original audio to be recorded
regardless of what plug-ins are currently in use.
The MIDI system has been around since the 1980's. Metro
combines all the functionality expected from a professional
MIDI sequencer with a simplified interface and innovative
ideas, such as the Rhythm Explorer and the algorithmic Note
Spray Paint tool.
