gizeh12 - absolutely

Here's a sneak preview of what's coming in v1.2
===========================================

-- Audio export (rendering) of Pads, Tracks, Groups, Engines and the whole Mix, with drag-and-drop from there to the usual destinations in Guru, or to your host. So now you can export rendered audio clips from Guru directly to e.g. Live or Acid. There's a switchable option to auto-crossfade the loop start, so that the Guru-created loops are ready-to-loop in your host.

-- Offset / pre delay in both absolute and musical time on each layer

-- Sample reverse in the pad editor, also available via the graphs

-- Full support for note-offs and note duration

-- Randomizer slider, allowing controlled randomization of almost every aspect of GURU

-- Completely overhauled slicing algorithm with sensitivity control and much improved slice results

-- Engine context menu allowing you to cut, copy, paste, clear whole engines

-- Context menu on the Layers with copy, paste etc.

-- New triggering modes on the layers - round robin, random

-- Song name & kit display

-- Value read out tool-tips and hints on almost all controls

-- The standalone version now allows audio and MIDI device selection, and supports WDM, MME and ASIO on Win32

-- The standalone version now supports MTC Sync

-- Hugely improved QWERTY keyboard support (in plugin as well as standalone), can drive much more functionality without ever touching the mouse

-- Pattern key buttons now send note ons and note offs and can be used to (re)trigger patterns in GATE, TRIG or SHOT modes

-- The metronome and measure divide lines now adapt intelligently to resolution and pattern length

-- Per-pattern resolution/multiplier controls (Triplets, 8th and 32nd-notes...!)

-- A fully & correctly working Locks system

-- "PlusFX" and "PlusMIX" toggles on browser panes allowing you to preserve the current pad tweaks, pattern graphs or aux/mix effects when loading new loops, kits or patterns

-- 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 pad matrix

-- Drag and drop of MIDI files from Finder / Explorer to the pattenrs

-- Drag and drop of multiple audio files at once from Finder / Explorer to the pads

-- Drag and drop of Finder/Explorer folders to/from the browser

-- Options to pin the current pattern and page on the screen for editing

-- An option to save songs/kits as settings only (and not create copies of the wave data)

-- An option to not show pad names for pads

-- An option to mix Engines direct to sub-outs:- the main outputs of Engines 1-8 are sent directly (with their effects) to sub outputs 1-8.

-- Multiple selection in the Pads browser, either drag multiple sounds at once to the pads to load >1 pad, or drag them to the waveform view to create new layers.

-- Assorted new modifier keys and shortcuts, visual tweaks and fixes
