Preliminary in-development feature…

Changes : -Fragment script text and enabled state saved/loaded to/from .hourglass files -Fragment scripts can use variable “envelope” to switch the envelope shape of the scripted fragment -Main parameters A-buttons change color to green if automation envelope playback is enabled … Continue reading →
