The Performance Mode turns Sequel 3 into a live tool for creating
impromptu arrangements and live mixes by triggering the 24 live performance
pads with song sections and variations.
Sequel's one-click tempo detection is a great tool when it comes to working
with rhythms of varying tempos. In Performance Mode, this feature can be used
for creating remixes.

board. Its more than 120 presets comprise combinations of amps, speaker
cabinets and effects pedals, delivering a collection of various guitar sounds.
With the enhanced Controller Learn feature, it's possible to
connect virtually any MIDI controller to Sequel 3, making MIDI setups easier
and less time consuming.
AudioWarp includes the élastique Pro engine by zplane for
high-quality time-stretching and pitch-shifting to adjust tempo and tone in
stunning audio quality.
In its third incarnation, Sequel is now featuring multi-take recording.
MIDI and audio can be recorded over and over again. The best take is picked
from the list of recorded takes when in Take Mode.
Another new feature is the Step Envelopes Editor which allows the user to
add effects to selected parts of the audio material. Reverse, decay or pitch
effects are only a few of the many adjustments users can easily make to their
productions.
Sequel's Beat Page is a dedicated area for creating intricate
rhythmical patterns. Here the users find Groove Agent ONE, a
powerful drum sampler with over 60 drum kits, and the step sequencing Beat
Designer tool.
