I may have mentioned it in a previous post but I'd love a delay to offset the start of the sub layer from the click. The old Vengeance Metrum has this - it's called "OSC start delay" and you can adjust it in 0.1ms intervals. When you're adding a sample on top, a tiny amount of delay between the two layers can really transform the kick.
Have you tried using the phase angle… should do a similar thing to adding a delay.

There’s a click layer delay in the latest internal release - we’ll have a beta out to test hopefully soon

I'd really like the option to read the list, since my time right now is limited. And I hate being forced to watch videos to get basic information that could (and really should also) be provided in text.

It's an awesome update, you guys are smashing it. Also, the SA76 is killer, please make more hardware emulations.

Cool update, tnx.

Does it still have no velocity modulation of parameters? Isn't velocity the one and only modulator kicks make use of?

Distortion and harmonics curves are awesome, combined with the global amount parameter. Thankyou.
