Waldorf Music has announced an update to its recent Attack 3 software percussion synthesizer.
Version 3.0.1 comes with the ability to frequency-modulate samples (FM), a new “ZMIX SDSV” factory kit, and various improvements and fixes.
Changes in Attack v3.0.1
- New factory kit “ZMIX SDSV” by Chuck Zwicky.
- The name of the currently selected Sound is displayed below the Kit name.
- Samples can be frequency-modulated (FM).
- Added automation of selection parameters like on/off buttons, oscillator or filter types etc.
- MIDI Maps are now automatically saved with the DAW project. However, it’s still a good idea to save them separately as they then can be used in saved kits as well.
- Loading single Sounds keeps Bus setting and Solo status in Mixer.
- Shift+Scroll Wheel allows for finer adjustments on continuous controls.
- Scroll Wheel can be used on selection popups such as Oscillator Shape to select entries.
- Flanger mix polarity now follows feedback polarity resulting in much nicer flanging.
- Loaded samples are selected and shown in the respective sample browser (note that you need to switch to Preset or User manually to show the right browser view).
- Fixed possible silence when previewing samples.
- Fixed crash in Reaper on Windows.
- Fixed bug in Comb Minus filter type.
- Fixed modulation of envelope attack rates by an LFO when the attack rate is at its minimum.
- XOR and Single mode voice allocation now click-free.
- Further bug fixes and improvements.
The update is free for existing users. Attack 3 for Windows and macOS (VST3/AU) is priced 99 EUR/USD at AudioDeluxe, Best Service, and from the Waldorf store. Upgrades are available to existing owners of Waldorf Edition 2 (full version) and Waldorf Edition 2 LE.
