MASCHINE MIKRO MK3 Improvements
▪ MASCHINE MIKRO MK3: MIDI mode added. For more information, refer to ↑3.7.4, Using
MIDI Mode.
▪ MASCHINE MIKRO MK3: ability to set focused parameter from the software. This means
that when you click on a plug-in parameter in the Control Panel of the software, the param-
eter will become focused on the controller when in Plug-in mode.
Audio Plug-in Improvements
▪ Added Edit Tab to Audio plug-in: Like the Sampler plug-in, you can now perform destruc-
tive audio edits to loops loaded into the Audio plug-in via the new Edit tab.
▪ Added Usable Play Range for Audio plug-in: in the Edit tab of the Audio plug-in, there are
now Playable Range Start and End markers which can be used to isolate only a portion of
the loaded audio file that you wish to loop. The timeline along the top of the waveform now
shows musical units rather than samples.
For more information on editing audio, refer to ↑8, Using the Audio Plug-in.
General Improvements
▪ Items can now be dragged from the Browser to external locations.
