The fact that it's not 64 bit got explained a few days ago here. Sucks if you want it but there you go.

New features are clearly not only for playing live - why do you keep harping on about that?

Anyway, shame you're not happy with the free update. Never mind.

Backwards compatible!!!

LOVE that! (only installed it so far, haven't had time to play around but this alone get's me excited already

)

ok but product development = 64bit in my book.. one person company look at melda for example. sorry don't buy it and I use both Dev's.

Yeah I think the morph isn't really that usefull for live use , sound design wise its 's ok , but I expected something bigger for a major upgrade .
Besides , I could do the morphing with microtonic 2..and some clever routings with renoise meta devices ( hydra, midi cc , )
That said , It's a shame you can't exclude parameters from the morph target ,
or even exclude everything once assigned ..
After playing with it for about an hour or two I must say microtonic is still awonderfull piece of software , but the added features are kinda weak for a 3.0 release .

kind of strong for a free update, methinks.

There's a few nice little extras, nothing to get too excited about. But as a free upgrade it's pretty good.

Personally I'd have loved to have seen a variable-length pattern grid up to 32 steps, but meh, can't argue with free.

Can't say I'm a fan of the new skin... the old one looked much clearer and sharper.

at first i was a bit, oh, is that all?

but now i've had a few hours playing with it im more than happy. especially with the upgrade price

being able to load in just the patches from a preset is fantastic, especially with the morphing.

overall its a lot more usable and way more creative. cant argue with that for free.

one little suggestions / question, when using the drop down preset menu is there a way to just load the patches?. if not, could there be please, like ctrl + click for patches and shift + click for patterns. thanks.

One question, I can't try it now but maybe some of you may give me an answer. I've got lots of projects using Microtonic, and I don't want to have compatibility issues. If I install version 3, will my projects open with the new version with no issues?

also i noticed the mention of using script files. any documentation about this 'PikaScript' anywhere and how to use it?

I won't. Microtonic has been my most frequently used vst ever, present in almost all my songs. Best money spent ever for me! Thanks for the info!
