  • State-saving for AUv3 (except for bassalicious)
  • new Templates for Ruismaker, Ruismaker FM, Korg Volca Kick, boom808, boom909, DM-2, bastl micro granny and FLUXFX (thanks to Tom Wies and Oscar South for the last two!)
  • updated Templates for Roland Boutique synthesizers

Bugfixes

  • fixed a bug that would cause mono AUx to play only on one side
  • improved AUx loading
  • improved IAA handling
  • fixed a bug that prevented state-saving of AUx
  • volume is enhanced
  • fixed a bug that could cause notes that are outside of the scale to be recorded

Bastl Instruments Microgranny 2 is a hardware granular sampler. In this video i want to show the integration to Modstep App. In this jam I mapped the parameters with Midi CC to Modstep and I use only this X Y Pads. In a second date, I will use automation with Modstep and Microgranny. A template will be available in the next update of Modstep.”

Here’s what’s new …

A smaller update containing mainly bugfixes and a bunch of new Templates:

  • Fixed a bug that would make it impossible to change the recording status after loading / creating a session.
