What’s New 3.1 Under the hood AUv3 refinements and MIDI control improvements. Improvements: - Improved AUv3 instance handling so multiple 16 Drones instances can run more independently inside hosts like AUM. - Added per-drone Fine Tune destinations to AUv3 MIDI Controls for more detailed tuning control from the host. - Refined Sub activation and level handling for smoother initial control, especially when raising Sub Level from zero. Fixes: Fixed visual feedback for AUv3 MIDI-controlled Drone controls.
