Well thats a very public 'yes' in the face of extreme DAW platform comptition.
The announcement came about after HOWLS of disapointment from DUC regulars and lurkers when PT 6 was announced minus the feature.
In other words Digi would be insane to release PT6 next year without it.
The Pro Control Scrub Wheel Scrub Trim function - (wanted for 3 or so years) is a good sign. That was ALWAYS to be a heavy code PITA, so perhaps thier top super nerd, now free from supervising OSX is back from a holiday and is cracking his knuckles eager for the auto delay challenge...
Good news!
