Release Notes:
Bug Fix - Beat It should now not crash when exiting no matter what the state is. Previous version was still partially unstable when exiting and playing some samples. Modulation Tool - The Modulation Tool is the newest addition to the Beat It Tool set. What it does is slightly alter the volume, pan and frequency values of the samples that you have loaded each time that you play the sample. The setup is easily configured with 3 scroll bars, you just select by what percentage the samples properties will be able to change and then click modulate. Each time you trigger the sample afterwards, the modulation tool will tweak the properties of the sample. What's this for, well it can be used to develop loops which don't have the same drum played perfectly every time. It helps add an element of reality to the loops and music you create. Removing a bit of the perfection that computers offer. Try it out for yourself. You can make it as subtle or as obvious as you like.
