Import MIDI file to Arpeggiator function
Z3TA+ can now import any MIDI files directly into the arpeggiator; MIDI file reference data is stored with the program, allowing for instant program recall.

Optimized Arpeggiator Engine
Z3TA+’s Arpeggiator Engine was optimized for reduced CPU usage. On average large patches using multiple oscillators will see up to 50% reduction in CPU load.

New MIDI Learn functionality
MIDI Learn has been enhanced to provide the most powerful MIDI Learn implementation available and only found in Cakewalk Instruments synthesizers. The new MIDI Learn features include:
* Add/Remove MIDI Control – Controls can now be manually added to or removed from the list.
* Per-Control Min/Max/Reverse – In addition to the per-parameter Min/Max/Reverse available in previous versions of Z3TA+, each parameter can now be assigned to multiple controls, and each control can have its own Min/Max/Reverse values.
* Multiple MIDI Configurations – Z3TA+ now offers ten different user-definable MIDI configurations. This feature is ideal for adapting Z3TA+ to multiple hardware rigs without having to remap every control.
