Special Notes:

The Windows installer was improved to prevent common installation issues. Please check the suggested installation paths during installation, making sure the update is installed into the same location as the previous version, and that all previously installed plugin formats are being updated.

Envelope triggering via LFO and sequencer was reworked in order to fix multiple bugs in this area. This means some presets might not sound as intended anymore. We therefore recommend to finish ongoing projects before updating to the new version. Please refer to the "Patch Conversion Tips" file to get more info on how to adjust your presets.

COMPETITION PRESETS folder removed, "best of" selection of 419 presets now integrated into main category folders as v0.9 presets. If necessary, save backup of original folder and move it back to preset area after update.
