1.2
Jan 26, 2023
Thanks Everyone, Great updates in this one!
++ Standalone adds ability to keep the same Tempo when switching presets (Turn this feature on/off by tapping the Tempo box above keyboard)
++ Added AUv3 workaround for GarageBand's new "feature" of sending a ModWheel reset to 0 when starting/stopping. Since SAGA Synth has cool ModWheel routings for things like Layer Mix and Filter cutoff, GB gives you pretty wild/unwanted results. This build helps with that and still allows ModWheel recording in GarageBand, without changing your presets' sound you stop/start in GarageBand. :)
++ Updated Ableton Link (Link is a way for standalone apps to stay in tempo sync with each other)
++ More bug fixes and stability improvements
Stay tuned... more improvements and more new free presets are coming!
