What's new in 3.0

- New FMX7 Engine - Based on DX7, you can now play polyphonically up to 6 voices, your favorite DX7 .syx patches.

Your lowest note sets the key, the encoder picks the scale (10 flavors, saved per preset), and MORPH sweeps the voicing from stark techno fifths to lush jazzy stabs. One finger, always in key. - New Pianoz engine! Who doesn't love the old school Rompler Piano Sound? Or the SP1200 sampled Rhodes?

Hit 1 key have fun! - DRONE MODE, enable the Drone mode for the engines in the brand new Ring Options Menu. You can now enable drone mode for the engines, up to the voice limit.
