Mixbus and Mixbus32C users may download a FREE v4.2 update!
Mixbus customers should have already received an email with the 4.2 links; if not, please write our support email at: mixbus@harrisonconsoles.com
New "Patch Selector" dialog for multitimbral MIDI synths
The new patch selector allows point&click access to 128 patches, and it can automatically audition your synth's sound when you click a new preset.

This feature works for the included General MIDI Synth and a-Fluid Synth soundfont players, as well as external MIDI synthesizers which have a patch map file.

Improved "New Session" dialog
[Image: new-session-dialog-v4.png]
When creating a new session, you may select from a list of your session templates directly from a list, while viewing a description of the selected template.

Once you've selected a template, an included script can prompt you for further input to accelerate the new session process.
Improved "New Track" dialog, with scriptable templates
[Image: track-templates-cropped.png]
The "New Track" dialog has been redesigned to provide direct access to your track templates as well as some new factory presets.
Like the "New Session" dialog, there's a description for each selection, and your templates appear in the same list so you can access them more easily.
Track templates can be created by right-clicking on a mixer strip and choosing "save as template". But you can also create a Lua Script that prompts the user for more information and then creates, or edits, the tracks that you need for your session.
It is now much faster to add a mix of tracks without closing & re-opening the dialog.
Like session templates, the new track templates can have a scripted element that prompts you for additional input before adding the new tracks.
Advanced users can write their own Lua scripts which can add plugins, change settings, assign routing & groups & VCAs.....
New "Template Manager" window

The "Template Manager" window allows you to manage your session and track templates. You can add, remove, and rename your templates. And you can export your templates for a friend to use, or import their templates for your use.

Other fixes & improvements:
- Track direct-outs are now post-panner, as shown in the signal-flow diagram. This allows the "direct out" of a track to follow the main panner. This improves the workflow for those users who use DAW-style bussing: connecting track outputs to other track(bus) inputs.
- By popular demand, the summary view has been limited so it cannot be dragged to the right beyond the session extents, and it cannot be stretched beyond the right edge. It operates more like a regular scrollbar.
- Right-click on the summary view to reset it to show only the "session extents"
- User-configurable limits on zoom scale and playhead-scrolling speed: These limits help to prevent users from zooming very far out, and losing their place in the session. You'll find these new options in Preferences->Editor.
- Increased the thread-priority of control surface "touch" automation. This allows smoother fader movements when the system is busy.
- Mixbus now shows a "Created With" column in the Recent Sessions list at startup: this helps users who have both Mixbus and Mixbus32C avoid opening the session in the wrong version, by accident.
- Faderport8: double-click a channel's "select" button to set the fader to unity.
- Correctly un-solo bands of the XT-MC Multiband Compressor when an adjacent band is solo'ed.
- Fixed an issue with SSL certifications which was preventing some users from downloading the license file by copy/pasting it into the license manager window.
- Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred on 'quit'
