Arrange
Your whole song, in view.
Colour-coded tracks with real waveforms, mute, solo and arm on every lane, beat-snapped regions and the Flow Lane above the timeline for Intro, Verse and Hook.
Inspector
Channel strip, always at hand
The selected track's channel sits beside the Stereo Out: a metal pan knob, chrome fader from +12 dB to −∞, mute and solo, and green-yellow-red meters that fall away smoothly when you stop. Step through tracks with the arrows on the name display.
Mixer
Every track on its own strip.
Hardware-style strips with CADEX branding, pan, solo, mute and meters, plus Drum, Music, Vocal and FX buses, master spectrum, stereo image and dynamics. Press X to show or hide it.
Master analysis
See the finished mix.
A rainbow spectrum, hardware-style stereo image scope, peak, RMS and crest readings and a stereo correlation meter watch the master as it plays. Display only, never changing your sound.
Drum Sampler
Sixteen pads, endless patterns.
A full drum machine inside CADEX: sixteen pads with kits from Hip Hop to Reggae, or load your own samples onto any pad. Shape each hit with amp, filter, pitch, LFO and FX, then program patterns on the step sequencer with swing and groove — up to 64 steps across four pattern banks.
Built-in effects & plug-ins
Studio processing, included.
CQ-4 Four-Band Equaliser
Shape tone with four sweepable bands — Low, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid and High — each with its own gain and frequency, plus Q on the mid bands for tight cuts or broad boosts. Steep 48 dB low and high cuts clear rumble and harshness. A live rainbow analyser sits behind the curve, so you see exactly which frequencies you're moving while the track plays.
CX-1 Studio Compressor
Control dynamics with threshold, ratio, attack, release and makeup gain. A moving gain-reduction needle, LED bar and transfer graph show how hard it's working in real time — tighten drums, level vocals or glue a bus without guessing.
CADEX Tape Delay
Tape-style echoes with spinning reels and live VU meters. Every repeat gets warmer and softer like real tape, with saturation, wear, wow and flutter, three tape types, tempo sync, low and high cut, stereo and ping-pong modes, and smooth pitch-bending time changes.
CADEX Reverb
A blended multi-path reverb with Hall, Room, Plate, Chamber, Cathedral and Spring spaces, Natural, Modern and Vintage character, pre-delay, size, decay, damping and width. Its own EQ, slow modulation and ducking keep the tail lush but out of the way, with A/B settings, presets and light or dark faceplates.
