Hey all, we just pushed live 2.6.0-beta on the beta channel. This is a big one! The production release will be out in just a bit as well, but we thought some of you might like a sneak peak.
This release brings support for the new cymbal sensors, and also brings some pretty huge changes to how you can use and remix Sunhouse presets. We’ve introduced “Instruments” and hot swapping, which a super fun way to build kits. This release also has a ton of new stuff to explore in the library – new cymbals and hi-hats and a bunch of new presets. Read on for the full details.
Added
=============================================
- Support for new cymbal and hi-hat sensors
- New Cymbal and Hi-hat Pad Controller modules
- New Hi-hat Pedal Control module
- New instrument tags and instrument tab in the Library
- Updated Play View layout with drumset view and layer filtering
- New Drumset Layout settings page (to change which drum matches which input filter tag)
- New Hot Swap panel in Play View and Edit View
- Added a stop button to the Set Volume panel in Play View
Changed
=============================================
- New sets now create a grouped drum set instead of individual pad modules (for hot swapping)
- You can now delete and reorder layers in the Play View
- You can now drag items from the library into the Play View
- We've updated the default filters for new modules: 'All Snares' becomes 'Snare 1', etc.
