BAETHOVEN 2. The biggest update yet. NEW LOOK: four styles (CLASSIC, SOFT, STUDIO, HARDWARE) and seventeen colour palettes, with haptics. CLASSIC keeps the 1.x layout. PRESETS: fill all eight banks at once in your key: multis, singles, Killavic's own kits, and your own saved presets. FX RACK: EQ, COMP, DRIVE, TAPE and REVERB, per-bank SEND and GAIN MATCH. Printed into your export. EXPRESSION: vibrato, bend-in, fall, glide, MORPH between chords, pressure, timbre, drift, and MPE on MIDI Output. NEW EXPORTS: MPC 3 programs, add your pads straight into an MPC Sample project, and MPC progressions from your chord banks. AUv3: play Baethoven inside GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis and Logic Pro for iPad (Pro). LOOP and NOTE ON: hold a pad to sustain it, with a crossfaded loop. Plus PANIC, a limiter on the output, Ludwig's tutorials and a searchable HELP. Your 1.x kits still load, with their FX off.
