• LCD: Changing value on a parameter will scroll the LCD to display beginning of parameter name.

• Project: In plug-in Mode, project data can be corrupted when reloaded if it has been saved in the meantime in standalone mode.
• Roll: When Spark interface is closed Roll can sometimes be triggered on the selected instrument with no reason.
• sample: Sample Release is set to 0 when a new empty project is created. Some samples are not audible after Rex import.
• studio: Drum icons highlight when playing.
• Automations: sometimes parameter go back to a value a the beginning of the pattern without any automation.
• Automations: First quarter motion doesn't work sometimes.
• Automations: Erase Automation on parameter 4, 5 and 6 doesn't work.
• Automations: Crash when a parameter already assigned is reassigned for instrument 9 to 16.
