Dear Users,
We’re excited to share the first beta (2.1.0b1) for the upcoming 2.1.0 update to Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro. This release focuses on significant quality-of-life improvements, addressing feedback received since the launch of version 2.
The highlight of this beta is a redesigned Pitch Control Points Mode in the Piano Roll. Now, selecting an area will automatically generate control points that follow the pitch curve’s trajectory. When multiple control points or curves are selected, a new resizing handle will appear, allowing you to instantly adjust the depth and speed of the pitch bends and vibratos.
Beyond the new pitch control capabilities, we’ve added numerous shortcuts and standardized behaviors to align with popular DAWs and sequencers. For detailed information, you may refer to the release notes at the end of this post.
