    Release Notes

    Build 62 (2.4.0)
    • NEW FEATURES
    • Ableton Note format added. This format is more advanced and different from the Move format, which can also be used with Ableton Note. The difference is the ability to have organized folders of kit presets, rather than one single list! However, the transfer process to your devices takes some additional steps.
    • MPC Expansions (packs with detected XPM files) will be properly converted into kits using the XPM kit data! This means each kit should copy over as an exact copy. (If you changed your preferences to use multiple banks, you must set them to 1 bank when using this feature). This feature can be disabled in preferences. 
    • ‘Combine sample packs’ feature added (button to the left of Make Kits). Import multiple sample packs to combine and output into a larger collection of kits.  For example if you have a few Lofi sample packs that only have a few one shot drum samples (not enough to make many kits), you can import several of these sample packs and combine them to make a LOT more kits of the same genre. (Optional: Turn on the randomize option in the Preferences to mix them up more).
    • IMPROVEMENTS
    • Pre-Grouped kits processing is streamlined, does not require Maschine mode workaround.
    • You can now choose the output location of your Kit Maker Kits folder (which is on Desktop by default)
    • Ableton Live kits have an option to be Tagged with the “Kit Maker” tag (off by default)
    • Added option for newer 12.1+ Ableton Live drum rack formatting. Recommended for users of Live 12.1 or later. This doesn’t directly change how the kits work but helps potential longevity in compatibility. Previous version 10 drum rack formatting is still an option for older users.
    • Add options for Updating old Ableton Live drum kits to the 12.1 format (in Menu > Extras). Useful in case old kits are not behaving correctly on some PC situations.
    • UI/UX improvements: Loading bar animation added, Preferences menu redesigned, Additional useful alerts for various actions
    • FIXES
    • Fixes issue where additional samples would be occasionally left unused in kit folders.
    • Updated Ableton Live drum rack paths on backend. Should fix Media Missing errors affecting some users.
    • Most of the previously missing Maschine Previews now are working for MPC Kits. If you want to update the previews for an expansion you already made, simply process the expansion again and overwrite the “[Previews]” folder. Or you can overwrite the entire Expansion folder again if you prefer.
    • Fixed bug that would cause issues if a user had an extra comma in their custom Keywords
    • Ampersands are turned into “And” in filenames to avoid compatibility issues (like Ableton Live)
