► Change list:

v1.1.65 Changes:

1. Polybend.

We're rolling out a new feature we're calling "Polybend", which adds the capability for polyphonic pitch bends within a single instance of a library. This addition should be particularly useful for MIDI guitar users or people using MIDI controllers such as TouchKeys, LinnStrument, or the ROLI Seaboard.

2. Fifteen new reverb pedals.

We've added fifteen additional reverb pedal options, totaling 68 new impulses.

3. Fixed strumming pattern sync.

As you might have experienced, there were sync issues when playing strumming patterns while changing the BPM of the song. Over the course of a few measures, the pattern would gradually go out of sync. We've fixed this issue, and the strumming patterns should now stay in sync, despite subtle or extreme BPM changes.
