Modulation Parameters Velocity to Parameter Modulation: Use note velocity to affect parameters such as filter and pitch. Useful for more natural beats and creative effects.
Tip 1: Turn off “Velocity -> Gain” so you can actually hear what other mods are doing when they change.
Tip 2: You can have a negative modulation that will keep the parameter at its normal value at full velocity, but lower it at lower velocity. This is different from many synths, but is natural for drum sounds.
Advanced Sample Panel – The user interface has been redesigned to include tabs. Lots of new space for… things.
Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where sometimes samples would not load at the correct pitch when the DAW sample rate was not 44,100
. Offline mode now has hotkeys for undo, redo.
