JimAudio have updated Groove Rider 2, available to download, available for $34.99.
What’s new in version 1.1.3
- Added support for the Novation Launchpad X midi controller, with slightly different functionality comparing to the LP Pro MK3.
- Some instructions for the LPX users:
- Press Session button to switch between Performance Mode (blue), Session Mode (green) and Mixer Mode (yellow).
- Use Record button as Play/Stop. Hold down the Record button to toggle it between Play (green) and Record (red) mode;
- In Performance Mode, use Volume, Pan and Send A buttons to select between Performance, Step Sequencer and Pattern Settings layouts correspondingly.
- In Performance Mode, press Up + Down arrow buttons simultaneously to switch to layout editing mode (arrows will start to pulse red), where Up/Down buttons shift the layout, and Left/Right buttons select the Pad Mode for the Block 1. Press Up + Down again to switch back to normal mode, where Up/Down buttons control the Octave, and Left/Right buttons select the Part.
- In Performance Mode, press Left + Right buttons simultaneously to toggle between the Bar select mode (buttons become blue).
- In Mixer Mode, select layout with the right hand buttons (Volume, Pan, Send A/B, Stop Clip, Mute, Solo, Rec Arm). The latter (Rec Arm) only selects the Part.
- In Mixer Mode, hold down the Volume button to toggle VU Meters On / Off for the Mute, Solo, Stop Clip and Rec Arm layouts.
- Other features of this update:
- Launchpad: added 4×4 pad layout, selectable from the Settings -> Midi -> Launchpad Pro MK3 / LPX -> Pads Layout;
- Launchpad: hold down the arrow buttons to scroll the grid / mixer views.
- Launchpad: pressing a slice or drum now selects it in the UI;
- Launchpad: you can now set the clip loop length by holding the bar select button and pressing a step;
- Launchpad: added Stop Clip layout;
- Launchpad: VU Meters in the Mute, Solo and Stop Clip layouts can now be switched off to show the clip grid instead. Use Shift + Volume button on LP Pro, or hold Volume button on LPX;
- Fixed: when loading a drum rack preset, drum labels were not resetting to the defaults;
- Fixed: in the Scale mode (Clip Editor), dragging a note down caused incorrect jumping of the view to the bottom of the keyboard;
- Fixed: Last Knob Control was not working with knobs on Layer > 1, KBD TRK knob and EQ knobs in the Mixer page;
- Fixed: Last Knob Control was not working with LFO Destination knobs and 9 pre-defined AUv3 knobs;
- Fixed: GR-2 was sometimes not connecting via Inter-App Audio with the host apps (e.g. AUM) if audio input was enabled and host app started before the GR-2;
- Relative midi autodetecting improved to not interfere with the regular midi knobs;
- Other minor bug fixes.
