  1. Excellent news!

    This is a fantastic little drum machine but I have been waiting for this, the CC mapping in particular was a glaring omission!

    The inclusion of FM makes me very happy and pitched mode is going to turn this into a pretty decent synth as well! Good work Clavia, much appreciated!

    Looking forward to getting it installed 🙂

  2. Update done… all went smoothly & all working well.

    Very happy with these new features, not had much chance to play yet, but the FM synthesis is bonkers – an inspired addition to an already excellent box!

    All the little extras like higher resolution on parameter settings are very welcome too.
