Brand new presets management system.
Presets can now be selected using MIDI Program change and bank select messages (can be activated with the presets menu/MIDI Program Change item), or MIDI CC events for next/previous preset.
Copy/paste the plug-in's current state from the presets menu using the system clipboard.
Full Unicode Support.
Updated demo limitations: up to 5 instances allowed, bypass time changed to half a second, and bypass parameter is not affected anymore.
