- the paradigm "tape-recorder - mixing desk" is broken: there are no channels. arbitrary numbers of objects can be layered, thus displayed and edited, on top of or next to each other.
- nested object-trees: each event may contain arbitrary numbers of events which themselves may contain any number of events and so on.
- all the functionality is implemented in a plug-in structure with an open API. adding custom plug-ins requires a minimum of code.
- combined functions: using the function composer, function plug-ins can be combined into functionGraphs, enabling you to create powerful and complex tools with just a few clicks.
- although quince was developed to serve musical purposes, theoretically, not only audio but video and every other time-based data type can be edited in quince. all it needs is a corresponding plug-in.
