WORKFLOW
• Overall consistency of graphical controls has been much improved -- text boxes, menus and
buttons behave in a consistent way.
• Much improved sample file management.
• New Option: Dont show pad names for pads (pads have only numbers, not names) - hides the
default “Kick”, “Snare” etc. pad labelling
• New Option: Selected Pad tracks MIDI input
• New Option: Fast switch to pattern view (Guru will switch to pattern view from whichever view
you’re in when you hit a pattern button)
• New Option: Save songs/kits as settings only (doesn’t create copies of the wave data)
• New key modifiers for pattern mute/solo/lock controls
• Engine selectors now have context menus allowing you to copy, paste, clear etc. engines
• New “Chromatic Clone” and “Random Clone” options on Pattern context menu, allowing you to
clone patterns up and down the keys.
• New “Chromatic Clone” and “Random Clone” options on Pad context menu, allowing you to
clone pads up and down the keys.
• Hold down SHIFT when dragging a Pad to move the associated Pattern lane as well
• Option to save+recall all the other Options as part of each song/instance, instead of globally
• Drag and drop of MIDI files from Finder / Explorer is now supported
• Guru now imports MIDI using enhanced resolution when using an engine with tempo multipli-
ers set. This allows you to import triplet MIDI patterns correctly, for example.
• Pads with samples loaded are now slightly more illuminated vs pads without samples loaded
