Known Issue:

  • Most of features are working fine, but, as this version is still in development, an issue remains on the Sequencer that will be fixed very soon.
  • To keep it simple, the Sequence Browser does not recall correctly the Pitch of the Sequence. It means that loading a Sequence from the Sequence Browser doesn't ensure you've loaded the right pitch pattern. So, you need to let bloggers know about this so that they don't come across this bug in their video.

Banks:

  • Although very advanced, these banks are still being finalized, and therefore do not include all presets.
  • In addition, there may still be some minor issues with certain presets, such as typos or macros that are too subtle, or volumes that need to be slightly revised, but nothing to worry about.
