Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
- When changing time signature on the main page, there’s the option to just move the bar lines and keep your pattern.
- The Mute buttons now return to the volume settings pre-muting instead of maximising Line1/2
- On the Edit Rhythm page, after entering a rudiment on Line 1, you can long press and choose to split the sticking.
- You can long press on Line 1 to recombine after splitting.
- Stroke Guides now use arrow symbols and work with rudiments split across lines. This makes it easier to solo the hands if you're using multiple R and L buttons.
