Digidesign released Protools 6.7 for both LE and TDM systems. The audio and MIDI feature set in Pro Tools 6.7 has been greatly expanded to deliver tempo-dependent audio placement, tempo-dependent automation, graphic tempo editing, precise control of meter changes, MIDI step input, enhanced support for instrument plug-ins, MIDI Detective, and Beat Detective LE.

New features in Pro Tools 6.7 software include:

- New support for RTAS instruments on TDM Aux inputs provides better instrument plug-in integration, session organization, and LE/TDM session interoperability

- Support for multiple plug-in outputs enables mixing and processing of individual sound sources from instrument plug-ins*

- Simple yet thorough step-by-step song composition with the MIDI Step Input window; facilitates building complex or difficult MIDI tracks

- New MIDI Detective functionality allows generation of tempo maps and groove templates directly from live MIDI performances

- With Beat Detective LE, Pro Tools LE users can now take advantage of many of the Beat Detective features previously only available to TDM users

- The TC/E tool's support for MIDI regions enables operators to expand or contract MIDI passages exactly as they do with audio regions, allowing timing changes of individual MIDI regions without affecting the overall session tempo

- Fast and precise drawing and editing of tempo curves are now facilitated through the Tempo Editor pane, including nudging and trimming of tempo segments

- Flexible tempo curves, global insertion/deletion of time, and auto-editing of data when changing meter are all now available through the new Tempo and Time Operations windows

- Tick (musical tempo)-based Audio, Aux and Master tracks keep audio region start points and automation in perfect sync with MIDI

- Straightforward management of external MIDI devices on Windows XP via the MIDI Studio Setup window and advanced patch name support

- Organization by function within Pro Tools sessions is now available through colour-coding feature — Colour-code tracks, regions, markers and much more for instant identification

- New Undo History window enables your customers to instantly and conveniently return to previous stages of a session's development

- Non-administrator user support for Macintosh and Windows enables users who do not have administrative access to run Pro Tools unimpeded, and IT professionals in facilities and schools to manage user preferences and access

- Enhanced Windows interoperability with legacy Macintosh sessions — Open and convert older SD II-based sessions in one easy step

This update should be available as a dowload on the Digidesign website from Monday.
