UPDATE HISTORY

Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.
  • Fixed an issue where the rhythm pattern specified for an ASSIGN target may not work correctly.
  • Fixed an issue where the memory’s tempo is not set correctly when importing WAV files from BOSS Tone Studio.
  • Fixed several issues that could cause a freeze and/or system error message.

[ Ver.1.06 ] JUL 2021
Bug Fixes
The following bugs were fixed.
  • When importing WAV files via USB connection, time stretching may be applied to the output audio.
  • The stability of operation was improved.
