The forthcoming BeatMaker 3 update 3.0.9, brings new refinements and features. It will be available soon, but in the meantime and as a sneak peak, here's what's new in 3.0.9:

Overall improvements

• Parameters controlled by a macro will now act as macro knobs themselves, rather than displaying a panel to change/set the value.
• When displaying the FX panel back, restore the position where it was left on.
• Mixer levels can now be switched between traditional green/red levels and track colors. Simply press the “•••” button at the bottom right of the mixer.
• Added a RMS or Peak switch in the Mixer. Simply press the “•••” button to show the option panel.
• Added a channel strip size switch in the Mixer. Simply press the “•••” button to show the option panel.
• The 0dB graduation is now more prominent on mixer channel meters.
• Renamed quantization recording option to “Quantize Note On’s” and “Quantize Note Off’s” for clarity.
• Metronome options are now in a separate panel. To display it, long-press the metronome icon in the transport bar.
• Added metronome volume and tuning in the new metronome panel.
• Added “All Pass” filter type in SV Filter and 6-bands EQ effects.
• “Dynamics” effect improvements.
• Added a toolbar to copy, paste, cut and clear pads when entering “SELECT” mode on the main Perform screen.
• When entering Pads “SELECT” mode, disable Repeat.

• Save and restore full-screen sample editor time reference.
• It is now possible to set any color on tracks, banks & pads with the RGB color selector in the track panel.
• It is now possible to set any color on macros with the RGB color picker in the macro setup panel.
• Keep the order in which parameters are connected to macros, in the macro setup panel.
• Audio tracks can now use any other tracks as their audio input (hardware outputs, AUXes, other audio tracks).
• In the Sound Store, you can now see which pack you already own and if they are already installed.

Sampler & Plugins

• The “nuiFonts.db5” file, which was visible in browser Files mode, is now hidden.

• Stability improvements.
• Minor visual improvements around the app.
