The BeatMaker 3.0.1 update is now available on the App Store

BeatMaker 3 will be frequently updated to bring more exciting features and improve the overall experience.

• Added a "MIDI Setup" button when loading an IAA or Audiobus plugin, both on the PLUGIN tab and within the split keyboard screens. This makes setting MIDI output port & channel easier for apps that need proper configuration.
• Added an option in MIDI settings (Browser > Gear icon > MIDI tab), to toggle MIDI data forwarding to the selected pad, a.k.a. 'OMNI'. When turned off, MIDI routing will be performed regarding Bank / Pad MIDI input configuration. When turned ON, every MIDI messages will be forwarded to the currently selected pad. All this happens if the MIDI message wasn't assigned to a MIDI focus action.
• Focus actions learning can be cancelled by simply pressing the button again. Also, when switching tabs or hidden the view, learning will be silently stopped.
• Instantiation of AUv3 has been improved.
• Improved support of BM2 presets.
• Renamed "SVFilter 6" to "6-band EQ".
• The "Velocity" ON/OFF toggle on the keyboard screens will properly be restored.
