NEW: STRUM. Chord pads can now roll in four directions: UP, DOWN, IN (middle voice first, blooming outward) and OUT (outer notes first). HUMAN adds a touch of velocity variance across the voices so a strummed chord doesn't hit at one uniform level. In RANDOM feel the SHIFT knob now sets how loose the deal is, from tight humanization to a lazy roll. Set them for all pads or per pad. Everything bakes into your MPC export. FIXED: EXPORT on older iPads. Kits stream to disk as each pad renders, so exporting uses a fraction of the memory and no longer gets stopped by iOS on 3 GB iPads. Exports are faster on every device, a stalled export now stops itself and tells you which step failed, and the sounds on your pads stay loaded while you browse.
