Numerical Audio updates VOLT and Italizer Synths

Numerical Audio has updated VOLT to v1.3.3 and Italizer to v1.2.1 adding a number of features, bug-fixes and visual tweaks.

VOLT v1.3.3

Starting with v1.3.3, a a free update available from the App Store, VOLT adds support for MIDI Program Change Events with the option to choose whether Program Change messages apply to the entire library or a pre-made selection of favourites. In addition, MIDI support for sustain/hold and expression pedals has been added where expression by default maps to the mod-wheel. The UI has been tweaked in various places and an option to toggle manual scrolling of the main view has been added. Last but not least, the update addresses a number of issues related to Audiobus/Inter-app Audio and MIDI connections.

Italizer v1.2.1

Aside from various visual tweaks and upgrades, Italizer v.1.2.1, a free update available from the App Store, adds attack and release controls for it's internal amp envelope which previously have been fixed. In addition, a much improved preset manager has been added including import/export as well as batch editing options. Finally, a custom littlefoot app has been developed for Roli's Lightpad Block controller, taking Italizer's unique touchpad into the physical world.
