NEW VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS

Pro Tools | GrooveCell is a new virtual drum machine and sequencer that makes it easy to create intricate beats and drum patterns in Pro Tools. Designed for quick workflows and inspiration generation, it’s built for serious creators who want total creative control over their grooves. Centered around a classic 16-pad layout, Pro Tools | GrooveCell has all the parameters you need to tweak single samples or a whole kit at once. You can use the included sounds and presets or build custom drumkits by dragging and dropping your own samples onto the drumpads (MP3, .WAV, or .AIFF). Layer up to three samples per pad, and control the pitch, envelope, EQ, distortion, and more, and add distinct flavour with texture emulations of the legendary E-mu SP-1200, Korg Super Percussion, and more in the Drum Mode menu. Plus, shape your sounds further with creative Drive and Dynamics presets.

Pro Tools | SynthCell is a modern virtual synth that enables a wide palette of sounds in Pro Tools—from old-school familiar to the truly unique. Sporting two oscillators, two multi-mode filters, an LFO, envelopes, an arpeggiator, and a variety of effects, you can start sculpting your own sounds from scratch, building from a sine wave on up. Or cruise through the library of presets and instantly find something organic, distorted, smooth, chaotic, analog, and more, without ever touching a knob.

Both of these powerful new virtual instruments are included with all current Pro Tools software licenses.

SOUNDFLOW

SoundFlow is a state-of-the-art workflow automation platform that enables Pro Tools users to reduce complex, many-step tasks to single keystrokes or presses on a touch surface. SoundFlow Cloud Avid Edition is included with all annual Pro Tools Flex subscriptions, providing access to over 1,600 prebuilt macros and commands for Pro Tools that can be custom assigned and triggered by keyboard shortcuts, MIDI controllers, and HID devices. Whether bouncing stems, navigating plugins in large sessions, or triggering complex workflows, SoundFlow saves users significant time and enables them to stay in their creative flow.
