更新履歴
Bug fixes:
- sample folders with dots in their names were not seen - fixed;
- AUv3: "Start with Host" setting was not working/displaying correctly;
- AUv3: if you solo one part and then reopen plugin's window, solo will be cancelled - fixed;
- Copy/Paste Entire Part now pastes part's name too;
- pressing and holding the Part select, Mute, Erase, Trigger etc. buttons from the external midi controller (previously assigned via Midi Learn) was not working correctly: it would release when you touched some pads on the screen at the same time - fixed now;
- using with LaunchPad Pro: during playback, "Follow Cursor" function was not working (not updating the current bar) while app was in the background - fixed;

Other changes:
- you can now use EXIT button during playback to cancel jumping to the next pattern in case you have occasionally selected it;
- during pattern playback, if you occasionally touched the SONG mode button, you can now cancel it by tapping the SONG button again. EXIT button will work for this too;
- Revert to Saved: you can now use this function during pattern playback, no need to stop the pattern.
