JimAudio have updated Groove Rider 2, available to download, available for $34.99.
What’s new in version 1.2.4:
- Added Acid Riff Generator (ported from the JimAudio Pure Acid app), accessible from Clip Editor, Melodic Parts only. You can select Scale, Key, Octaves range and one from 6 available generator modes
- Added Legato setting for the internal synth/sampler/wt/sf2, located on the lower end of the POLYPHONY knob in synth’s settings. When set to Legato, a synth will get 1 voice polyphony and slide from one pitch to another, when notes overlap, using GLIDE knob’s value. This is especially useful when playing 303-style note slides
- Added new Pitch Delay IFX, in 4 combinations (mono/stereo, bpm/free). It is combines Delay effect with Pitch Shifter, where every next repeat is being shifted up or down
- Added One Tap Delay IFX, which adds one single repeat to the original sound with adjustable Pan, Time delay and Mix
- Stereo Width IFX: added new Balance knob, which adjusts panning of the stereo-Side channel
- Added mono versions of Chorus and Flanger effects
- STEPS pad mode improvement: you can now write automation per step by holding a step pad (or even several) and simultaneously moving a parameter knob on the Sound page. This method can also be used with AUv3 instruments
- Added one more “Parallel Special 3” setting to the MFX routing on the FX Buses page
- Crash fixed when creating a new folder in the empty user presets tab in the Browser
- Fixed: some LFO timings (3/8, 3/16) were performing incorrectly
- Added a solution which can prevent issue with partial UI freezing after using certain AUv3’s. However, if the issue still persists, you can now tap the Stop button to clear touches cache and unfreeze the UI
- Added a new keyboard shortcut CMD+M to toggle Metronome Click On/Off
- Other minor bug fixes
