There's lots more as well, including song/pattern browser (generating smart search results, etc.), customizing patterns (tweaking a built-in pattern to make it perfectly suit your needs), sounds of the bass (blending DI and mic signals, adjust string dampening, tuning, and more), timing and MIDI export, processing the sound (using the on-board effects and amp models), and more!
