Thanks for the new updates!
Some feedback on the new RC2s (based on first impressions):

ACE
Position of the KC button: big improvement! Looks perfect! Well done!

BAZILLE
Label "KEY CONTROL" on the left wood sidepane has gone: big improvement! Good!

DIVA
I like the new position and looks of the KC button. But, maybe, some little inconsistency here: Pressing the Multicore button is reflected in the main display (Core = ON), whereas pressing the KC button is not. Or, is that intended? (Indeed, pressing KC is never reflected in the main displays of any synth.)

HIVE
Have you considered this?

- horizontal alignment of the label "Key Ctrl": IMHO, this is not perfectly centred with regard to the KC button.
My suggestion: CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 374936' bounds='1072.00 45.00

- horizontal alignment of the label "MPE": To me, this one is not perfectly centred with regard to the two MPE switches (I feel that the label should exactly be between the switches).
My suggestion: CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 373798' bounds='172.00 142.00

- vertical alignment of the labels "PB +" and "PB - ": I think that the position of each label should be minimally moved closer to the display for reasons of consistence (when compared to most of the other labels below or above displays in HIVE).
My suggestion:
CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 2957' bounds='1.00 -16.00 [PB +]
CONTROL type='Label' name='Label 2959' bounds='1.00 24.00 [PB -]

I've installed the new RC2 versions and have tried the .clap for Bazille and Diva, and the same noisy distortion occurs when Multicore is enabled. Try sustaining one, then two, and then three notes; it's most noticeable upon the third key hold. This is not with all Presets, but too many.

At the moment, it looks as if it might be a problem in Bitwig's CLAP implementation. We are not sure yet, but we have forwarded this to the Bitwig crew to look into.

The LED color is set per preset on the Trimmers page.

Off course...but I thought in Diva GUI...thanks

DIVA preset browser - cursor navigation issue:

open diva gui
click PRESETS to open the preset browser
hit the cursor-down key (on the computer keyboard) (to select the next preset) -> nothing
hit again...and again... -> nothing

ditto with left and right cursor keys

what does work though:
open preset browser
then first hit cursor-up key then cursor-down (or left or right) -> then they work

at least it doesn't crash anymore

all the other plugins (ACE, HIVE etc) behave as expected
open preset browser
hit cursor-down twice (?) and it will proceed to the next preset

There is a dedicated thread to discuss everything related to the key control feature: viewtopic.php?t=611856

In Diva, the presets button is at the bottom, thus you need to use the up arrow to reach the preset list.

oh! i see - understood...
not really intuitiv imho, but well...

This is going to sound very Linux-y but are there any plans to add MTS-ESP to the free and magware synths? (BTW I have licenses for ACE and Diva and am looking forward to picking up Hive and Bazille at some point in the future).

Thanks!

At the moment we’re concentrating on our payware, and then, apart from Uhbik 2, we also have this massive project called Zebra 3. I can’t yet think beyond that…
