- MOTU BPM Updated To v1.0.2
-
MOTU has announced that it has updated BPM (Beat Production Machine) to v1.02.
This new version introduces new features, including Step Sequencer shortcuts and abilities, MIDI beat clock sync, MIDI modulation, expanded Metronome controls and One Shot pads.
Overview of the new features:
- Loading slice loops into banks: you can now drag & drop a slice loop onto a bank to automatically load individual slices onto the bank's 16 pads.
- One shot pads: "one shot" means that the entire sample will play (note-off info is ignored). One-shot operation is perfect for triggering samples that you don't want to get cut off when they play, such as snare hits.
- Step Sequencer enhancement: you can now copy the pattern in any step sequencer line and paste it to another line.
- Double Resolution: this new step sequencer feature lets you quickly double the resolution of the step grid. For example, you could start programming with a 16th note grid, but later switch to a 32nd note grid for finer resolution. The pattern plays the same, you just get better resolution - in one easy step.
- Preview volume slider: you can now control the volume of preview playback in the browser.
- Enhanced metronome: you can now turn the metronome on or off as desired and control its volume.
- Beat clock sync: the stand-alone version of BPM now resolves to incoming Beat Clock.
- MIDI modulation: BPM parameters can now be controlled with MIDI modulation, similar to MOTU's other instrument products.

- MOTU BPM Update
-
MOTU has updated BPM (Beat Production Machine) to v1.01.
Here is a brief overview of the new features in BPM version 1.0.1:
- Loading slice loops into banks: you can now drag & drop a slice loop onto a bank to automatically load individual slices onto the bank's 16 pads.
- Slicing loops: you can now create slices in audio files that do not yet have slices. Using new controls in BPM's Clip window, you can slice by transient or by beat grid, then save or even export the individual slices. You can also automatically slice loops when loading them into a rack part.
- Importing multiple samples: you can now drag & drop multiple samples to import them, either into separate pads or as layers onto a single pad.
- Pad templates: you can now load and save MIDI note mapping templates for BPM's sixteen pads. Factory templates for popular 3rd-party pad controllers are provided, including the Akai MPD16, Akai MPD32, KORG padKONTROL, and the M-Audio Trigger Finger.
- Mono sampling: BPMSampler is now available as both a mono and stereo plug-in, allowing you to sample external sources in either mono or stereo.
- Saving performances with samples: there is a new command that allows you to save an entire performance, together with all associated samples, to create a self-contained snapshot of everything in the performance.
