* Can now add MIDI CC controller manually (in addition to automated MIDI learn)
* Can now save default MIDI controller device and controller map
* Application size now configurable
* On Macintosh, now compliant with Gatekeeper (10.7.x and 10.8.x) setting that allows identified Apple developer applications to be installed

Hey Dan, just a quick thumbs up for your soft-Klee, been playing arround with it while I gather the components to build my own Klee.

Should you ever release anorther update, I would like to make a couple of sugestions if I may:

- a more intuitive way to store presets in addition to the shift-click (I would prefer to have a store button)

- an easier way to set the step pot's (e.g. click to select then up/down arrows to increase/decrease by 1 step) Depending on the range selected it becomes quite fiddly to set these pot's

Other than that great emulation!

Thanks for the kind words DrakheEM, and for the suggestions.

I agree that the shift-click is not the most intuitive for the preset storing, but adding a separate button for "store" brings its own problems, like being able to indicate which preset you want to store into prior to clicking the button, etc... Anyway I'll think it over.

Also agree with suggestion for adjusting the pots - I'll see if it's something I can accomplish.

Yeah, I've had a lot of similar feedback around people wanting to get familiar with the Klee prior to building/buying a hardware one, and that the software was perfect for that.

The Klee is definitely one of those times where I do think the documentation is a must. It's NOT an easy thing to wrap your head around, especially at first.

Just thought I'd mention that I've just updated my software Klee app to version 2.3. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the software Klee!

There are some new features, as well as bug fixes:

New Features
* Now runs as 64-bit application, and only allows for 64-bit plugins
* Now supports VST, VST3 and AU plugins (AU Mac-only)
* Entirely new plugin scanning process, should be more reliable and thorough, and avoids crashes.
* Plugin blacklisting, for plugins found to be problematic on app startup
* Added ReWire audio slave support
* Added "Pat Load" option ? after choosing a Preset, user can specify whether to automatically load bit pattern or not
* Added pentatonic scale constraint option
* Basic support for Dark Mode (menus and title bar only, Mac 10.14.x Mojave or greater)

Improvements / Bug Fixes
* Fixed Load function so works properly even when transport is not on
* Fixes problem in starting up on certain newer Mac OS systems
* Increased number of preset slots available (from 10 to 1
* Added individual plugin audio outputs
* Added more detailed audio driver setting parameters, to allow for performance optimization
* Minor user interface improvements

Based on my test drive of several years ago, I am not sure 20 minutes is enough time to understand the strengths and limitations of the software and to give it a fair test drive. Based on past conversations, I know you won't change this.

Based on my experience anyone who tries the demo version should be prepared to just scratch the surface of its capabilities before it will stop working without any opportunity to pick up where they last were.
