IMPORTANT: The official system requirements have changed as of 6.1.

IMPORTANT: Metro Documents written with this version will NOT be readable in any version prior to Metro/Metro SE version 6.2.1!

IMPORTANT: This is a pre-release, meaning it has some bug fixes (and possibly features) that were deemed important enough to be released before it could be rigorously tested.

The following list includes changes to Metro, Metro SE and Metro LX. Some changes may not be applicable to specific products.

New to this version:
• New: The Jukebox now supports playback of MP4 files, lossless audio and other variable bit rate (VBR) formats in OS X. This makes it even more convenient for using the Jukebox as a library for quick access to all your audio files.
• New: The Jukebox now support batch audio file conversion. Any quicktime supported audio format can be batch converted to either AIF, MP4, Apple Lossles, MP3 (with LAME component, available separately), WAV, MOV, and more. Simply shift or command-click to select multiple items and then ctrl (or right) click to select the batch conversion options.
• New: The controller popup of the graphics editor now contains an asterisk next to all controllers that exist within the current track. This makes it easier to find controller data.
• New: Better support for Audio devices stream names if the audio driver supplies them.
• New: If a core audio device returns an invalid stream while recording Metro now stops.
• New: Better copy and paste support for dual audio and MIDI tracks. It is now possible to copy and paste the current view without affecting the other view.
• New: Clicking on the search icon in the jukebox window now deletes the current search field.
• New: removed workaround for IK Multimedia's T-RackS because these plug-ins are fixed as of 1.2.1. Please update to version 1.2.1 of T-Racks if necessary.
• New: For insert or delete time, holding down the option key now forces the operation across all tracks. This makes it very easy to insert or delete time within the current sequence from the graphic editor.
• New: Better support for mixing audio with VST 2.0 plug-ins that watch if the transport is playing. This makes it possible to mix across the end of a track and have playing stop during mixing.
• New: Mix down audio now works across subsections.
• New: If enabled, a playbar is now drawn in each pane of the graphic editor.
• New: The shift-key will make all plug-ins shown in the graphic editor's plug-in popup.
• New: Repeating multi-part time signatures.

• Fixed: Wait 4 note recording mode now works properly for audio and soft-synths and if honoring core midi time stamps.
• Fixed: Apple's alias manager (under OS 10.3.x at least) sometimes does not find a file in the same directory that this file was opened from. Metro now does simple file searching before calling the alias manager.
• Fixed: Enhanced support for VST 2.0, including better compatibility with Sonic state's MicroTonic.
• Fixed: Several problems with notation have been corrected.
• Fixed: if a tempo change occurred at time 0:0:1, meaning there were duplicate tempo changes at that time, time was miscalculated. This would manifest itself as digital audio waveform overviews being incorrect or selections acting strangely.
• Fixed: a problem where continuous audio or effect automation would occassionally not insert maximum values.
• Fixed: double clicking in the tracks window would select a graphic editor view but that view was not always being remembered properly.
• Fixed: so that if sampletime != MaxSampleTime it is now honored and not re-discovered by looking into
• Fixed: the current play time is calculated properly when a new track is created in real time.
• Fixed: A possible crash when creating aux busses, if the port was set to off.
• Fixed: A problem where the jukebox scroll position was set wrong after filtering.
• Fixed: A problem causing deferred remote control events to record at a very wrong time!!!
• Fixed: a problem that could cause a crash if the audio packet size was set to 2048 or greater.
• Fixed: a problem so that cutting a portion of a sequence with only one track does not cut sections events as well.
• Fixed: a problem with vu meters in the mixer window staying on after mixing audio.
• Fixed: Rendering audio does not remove MIDI data any more upon completion. This should be done manually to avoid doubling if the entire track is not rendered.
• Fixed: a problem whereby changing the graphic editor view from, for example notes to controller, would leave the notes selected.
• Fixed: Loop recording audio or soft synth tracks.
• Fixed: Better support for Audio Unit Music Effects.
• Fixed: A possible problem when asking for an audio directory.
• Fixed: Miscellaneous display problems.
• Fixed: Jukebox recent folder items were not being resolved properly in some cases.
• Fixed: Aux send automation was not displaying properly.
• Fixed: a problem when cueing soft synths past the end of a looped track.
