FXpansion Guru 1.5 - Manual (Page 17)

7
• You can now drag and drop multiple WAV/AIFF files at once from Finder/Explorer to Guru’s
pads
• Effects and AuxEffects are now saved and loaded properly when saving/loading new KITs
• Song name and kit name are displayed - in the Engine Info panel right above the transport
• Tool tips for value readouts (and an option to switch them on/off)
• Audio export of Pads, Tracks, Groups (all tracks of the current type e.g. kick, hh), Engines or
the whole mix (“ALL” mode)
• Massively improved QWERTY keyboard support, allowing you to drive most GURU functional-
ity without ever touching the mouse
• A new option has been added to “Auto Fade Samples when Loading”, which reduces polypho-
ny & CPU wastage due to badly trimmed samples. You can set the threshold to anything from
-48 to -0dB.
• A new option “QWERTY Keyboard Velocity” has been added, to set the velocity level of pad
triggers from the QWERTY keyboard
• Randomize Slider (black slider above and to the right of engine selector), allowing you to crea-
tively randomize the parameters on any of GURU’s main screens
SEQUENCER, PATTERNS, SEQUENCE EDITOR
• ‘Paint volume’ mode is active by default now, hold down SHIFT while dragging to paint gaps.
• Reworked the graph editor so there are no more hierarchical tabs, can access all graph param-
eters for all pads from a single page now.
• When in select mode, and you click on a track lane, the pattern editor toggles selection on all
notes in the track lane.
• When in select mode, and you right click to delete a note, all selected notes are now deleted.
• Copy and paste pattern remembers the trigger mode.
• Gate, Shot and Trig modes should now trigger MUCH more precisely - no more sloppiness or
dropped notes - this means you can do some very cool things with rapid-succession triggering
of patterns (retriggering or switching patterns every 6th...).
• Host sync is much more accurate.
• Metronome intelligently supports non-4/4 measure structures -- w using a -step or 4-step
pattern, metronome now clicks on every 3rd note instead of every 4th, as tripletted 4/4 is more
useful than 6th-note 3/4. To get 8th-notes in tripleted-3/4, set the shift graph to 00% for the
second triplet note or to -00% for the third triplet note. We suggest using engines  thru 8 (as
they have tempo multipliers) with the multiplier set to 3/4.
• Measure divide lines adapt intelligently to resolution and pattern length
