New features and improvements

  • Sampler released

Supports wav, mp3, ogg, flac, mp4, m4a, m4v, and library samples Max 30s length Mono (retrigger or legato/glide) or poly playback modes Loop modes with settings for loop direction, cross-fade and release mode Coarse and fine tuning + root note setup (auto-detects key when loading sample) ADSR envelope Record straight into it 5 quality settings for interpolation modes from rough to great to suit the performance of your computer or get some intentional lofi aliasing

  • Sampler presets added

You can now find some presets in Instrument presets tagged [Simple sampler] to help yourself get more familiar with the sampler.

  • Top users (community)

Top users is now calculated by a weighed score based on a lot of parameters rather than "who has the most of all time", which didn't accurately show who's actually on top of their game before. This should give you a better and more fair chance to shine as an active producer.
