Performance

Editing
- It is once again possible to Shift-click to select non-contiguous notes in the Piano Roll editor.

- Solo now works on channels routed to mono outputs higher than Output 1 or 2.

- Soloing an output above 1—2 now mutes Output 1—2 as expected.
- Duplicating a track now also duplicates its track notes.
Accessibility

Plug-Ins
- Audio is now routed properly from Audio Unit-based multi-output instruments in projects saved in previous versions of Logic Pro X.

General
