New modulators
Elevate expression with new per-voice modulation assignment, audio-driven envelope triggering, and generate new curves with revamped Functions.
Granular improvements
Scan through samples mid-playback for time-stretching atmospheres, randomize grain playback for each note, and adjust grain size for fluid, evolving textures.
