New Features in Cubase SL 3.1
MIDI Track Parameter Definition
MIDI track parameters defined in the Inspector - for example, program, transpose or velocity and length compression - can now be converted into real MIDI events using the Define track parameter command. This function also works with MIDI insert effects so that a single click is all it takes to do things like insert a computer-generated arpeggio into the track.
New Equal Power Panorama Knob
The new Equal Power panner automatically balances out the differences in level resulting from panorama position changes and enables smooth pan sweeps across the stereo image.
Extended Archiving Function
Cubase SX/SL 3.1 offers even more versatile archiving options. Now you can opt to import individual tracks from an archive. Moreover, when you’re exporting, you can choose to create links to audio files rather than copying the actual files.
Extended Multiprocessing
Cubase SX and Cubase SL Versions 3.1 are tweaked to take advantage of the added power provided by systems with more than two processors, including the latest DualCore processors from AMD and Intel. In practice, this means you enjoy considerably more powerful performance and the simultaneous use of scores of plug-ins and VST instruments.

Audio Warp
Audio Warp enables time-stretching and pitch-shifting in real time with lots of new audio processing options, including ACID® file support: Loops adapt automatically to the song tempo, and audio files follow tempo changes in real time.
Freely Configurable Workspaces
The new Workspaces (window layouts) help you organize your user panel. You can create and save different panels for every step of your production. And you can simply change the Workspace view when you wish to work with several computers and monitors.
Play Order Track
The intuitive Play Order Track for pattern-based arranging sets new standards in creative music production. Simply divide your song into sections to make arranging very, very simple. You can compare different versions of your song – a click is all it takes to convert it to the linear form for mixdown and mastering.
Extended Freeze Function
The Freeze function for virtual instruments and audio tracks is on board to boost flexibility and performance. You can use Freeze for VST instruments with or without insert effects and conserve computing power by automatically deactivating the instrument. Moreover, you can freeze audio tracks with insert effects in order to free up even more CPU performance.
Color Coding
User-defined color-coding of tracks and mixer channels enhances clarity in complex projects.
