Impressive list of improvements. Some companies would ask 100 bucks for this and need 10+ years for developing it...

I haven't even had time to try the modal upgrade yet as just been enjoying the new filters and kinda fell into a rabbit hole just playing with the combinate functions (never really used them before).

Love how the updates are free as it fulfills that new toy itch and I save money with less Gas 😂

Thanks! None of those auto playing trippy sequency dubstep ones ;) I prefer oldschool & clean easy to use sounds.
