Thank you! I'm glad you like the new look

I know, unfortunately due to the internal architecture of the wavetable, it won't be easy to do. I'll see what I can do for the next update.

Hello! I would like to inform you that I have just published a review of the new version of miniBit: I hope that it will help Carlo to sell some more copies

Trying to think of a better label so the orientation of the controls still make sense: 'Samplerate Reduce' ? 'Downsampling'? 'Resampler' ?

To be consistent, you should also change the corresponding label in the sequencer: "s.rate" could become "dwn.sp"

Ah! That's true! Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for your reading. I know it's not much but it took a lot of work (choosing the right words and especially translating French into English). I spent almost all my free time writing this review for a week!

I'm demoing minibit and was wondering whether it's possible to change the sequence length. To loop a 3 note chord for example, or to only loop once to create an octave pluck at the start of each note etc etc. I think it could be a useful feature and would make minibit much more versatile.

Yes, we are currently testing a new version with new features, including the option to change the stepper length.

If you want to test it, please contact us.

Jamming on it now. Super sweet, lofi reverb/delay thing. I love it.

Here's an example I made, first with the reverb off then on:

Any chance at getting an lfo for the pitch shift?

Cool! Nice update.

I love that you keep updating your plugins and don't just take the "it's good enough" attitude that many developers do. Thanks for the free miniVerb plugin also. I really like this cool little grungy reverb with it's retro sound and it's simple interface.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I want to keep this one really simple.
