New Features and Improvements:
- It is now possible to toggle the context menu options 'Enable Per-Note Pitch Bend' and 'Pitch > Env' for Drum Sampler directly from Push. (Push 2 and 3)
- Two new parameters added to Preferences: Play Modifier and Recording. When Play Modifier is set to Off, the Play button triggers playback on press and no longer acts as a modifier for Follow Actions. When Recording is set to Selected Track, pressing Record starts recording only on the selected track rather than on all armed tracks. (Push 3 only)
