Precise Edit
The forthcoming version will also include a neat dialog for editing the values of the channels' pitch, pan and volume very precisely. This dialog will allow the sounds in the channels to be better placed especially since in normal view the iddly sliders are rather small and unprecise! This dialog will also be threaded (perhaps like plugins will be) so that opening it does not stop the main thread, allowing you to continue cueing sounds whilst changing the parameters on the dialog. We are looking to make the other configuration dialogs work like this to make it better - but perhaps this will wait til next version.
An extra feature being developed is the ability to send all the files loaded in djchainz_soundbox to our premium-quality freeware spark audio converter for encoding all your files. This also means a new version of this software... so it's all go ;)
Til next time, my readers

Multi-threading
I have done a lot of work in making the software multi-threaded and therefore smoother and better on dual core systems ;) It means that the tasks are split up and that the drawing does not interfere with the musical timing part of the program. This means that it is just getting better and better. A new function will be added for the next release on the newly structured menu!
Why new structure? We are working towards making a plugin function for the software allowing extra commands (file, miscellaneous and hopefully dsp/effects!) to be added. This will make it extra-extendable and better for the end user who wants it to do something that's "not on the tin" so to speak. We hope to make it somewhat like the plugin interface available on winamp, and will fully release the necessary SDK to connect to the sampling, midi, pitch etc. functions of the program. :)
