The global LFO on/off switch has been removed, LFOs are now always active. If you have old presets with LFO modulations in place, but the LFO was deactivated, you need to remove the unwanted modulations.

The factory preset library has been completely revamped. Files are replaced automatically on Mac. Windows and Linux users, please consider removing the factory library folder before running the update installer.
