Version 1.8.5 of Psycle is now available. The main new features are a new VST Host, a New Mixer, much faster application start/plugin check, wave in machine, new render to wav dialog with dither and plus lots of other small additions. There are also new tutorial songs included that demonstrate some of the features. Here is a detailed list of what's new:
