GrainHeads

A new Play section Both sample pairs are drawn as waveforms, with a white line for every grain as it fires, so you can watch the heads work. Step through your samples with the arrows beside each wave, change the noise bed, and ride delay and reverb on the send pad — without leaving the view. Reach for a send whose effect is switched off and it switches on for you. Macros Three XY pads now live in a section of their own. Either axis of any pad can be assigned as a modulation source on any parameter, with its own amount, and the lot saves with your preset. The dice rolls the pads into something that moves. Stutter Eight divisions, from a sixteenth of a beat up to eight beats, locked to your tempo. Hold a button to capture the master bus just before the effects and loop it; let go and the music carries on. Five new noise beds Clankers, Noise 122, Pedals, Sink Noise and Vinyl 2 join the existing textures. The bed has its own waveform on the Play section now, with a cursor showing where in the loop it is. A new look A warmer palette throughout, and three new backdrops for the Play section. Fixes • Swapping a sample during playback now takes effect at once, instead of waiting for a stop and a start • A head added while playing now appears on the Play section • A head set to C/D now flashes on the main waveform • A pair's window is measured from both of its samples again, so swapping a long sample for a short one no longer leaves the pair stretched Time Smear, Spatial Bloom, Degradation and Complexity have been removed.
