Sinevibes has released update 1.4 for its Fraction audio slicing workstation plugin for Mac.
Fraction features 8x independent slice repeaters, as many as 24x multi-effect processors, effect parameter animation and a lot of tricks for real-time rhythmic randomization. The new version brings a thoroughly redesigned user interface, new features and functional enhancements, performance optimizations, and more. The update is free for all existing users.
A new demo video has also been released, showing Fraction's capabilities when used with Elektron Digitakt: watch it below
