• Load Samples on Demand:
  • This feature reduces initial loading times and memory usage by loading samples only when they are played.
• MIDI Loop Browser:
  • The most significant new feature is the MIDI Loop Browser, allowing users to easily search, audition, and implement MIDI loops into their projects directly from the plugin.
• Integration with Handy Grooves:
  • Handy Grooves, GoranGrooves' MIDI loop packs have been reorganized and now seamlessly integrate within the Handy Drums V2.0 interface for immediate access.
