Toontrack has updated Beatstation to version 1.0.3. This update is recommended for all users but particularly for those running the latest operating systems released by Microsoft and Apple.

New Features:

• 64-bit hosts support on Mac.
• Support for EZX/SDX preset instruments as specified by the library configuration files.
• A new Toggle Metronome option has been added to the Settings menu (standalone).

Fixed in version 1.0.3:

• The crash on Japanese systems in Sonar should no longer occur.
• A bug in the sample recorder causing crashes on Mac has been fixed.
• A number of memory leaks have been fixed.
• Fix for drag and drop to the plug-in in Pro Tools 10.0 or higher on Mac.
• MIDI and REX grooves start from the beginning when not syncing to the host timeline and are played for the first time.
• You now always get the same MIDI loop when dragging as the one that is played - no new random flam.
• The default layout has been changed to 6x4 in the full version (as in the demo).
• The instruments in the Sounds tab are now alphabetically sorted (except Bass and Lead, which are always at the top).
• Clicking below or above the scroll handle should no longer shift the contents of the browser more than a page at a time.
• Key 120 on the lead pad, a key with no function, is now hidden.
• The mouse wheel now works on a secondary screen to the left of the primary screen (Windows).
• Horizontal mouse wheel scroll support on Windows - shift+vertical wheel can also be used.
• The standalone window position is now properly saved even if the window is minimized on Windows.
• The standalone host now constrains the window position to the current screen size at startup.
• The 'Set Plug-In Path' menu entry can now be found in the Settings menu in standalone mode.
