Yall,
After almost a year and a half since the last official release, 1.3 is finally on the public shelf. Download here and share with all your friends:

Notable changes since the last (1E13) beta include a pasting bug reported by Charlie, as well as extensive updates to the documentation, which is also now set up to open in the Apple Help Viewer.
And now, new and good things begin...
enjoy,

Ooo, haven't tried the documentation link yet, but it's gotta be an especially good feature for new users.
I have used the new beta a bit in the last week or so, sketching out a recording, and haven't broken anything yet. Actually, I used basically the same DB song about a year ago to start a new recording on my VS-1680, but then stalled because I haven't got space to set up the 1680 permanently and making fast cut'n'paste edits of the kind that are useful when blocking out a composition are a great pain in the butt on the 1680 (its UI being a bit out-of-date these days). So just recently I restarted with the same basic dbsong, brought the AIFF into GarageBand, and used that to cut'n'paste bits as I went along. Later, when I'm done, I'll go back and jazz up the dbsong for a better recording on the 1680 or using Cubase. Have to see how it goes. What I've done so far is on my http://www.carlaz.com/music/homestudio.html page, the song being "Colour Out of Space" with a dbsong file and MP3 "draft" of the first part of the song as it stands so far (minus vocals! :)
Still using mostly my ns_kit7free dbkit cause I haven't finished an ns_kit7 (partially-)full dbkit yet! So many possibilities. I have to admit I'm kinda slacking on that partially in hopes of DB 2 having something like a a per-hit velocity selector in the UI that links up to automatically pull from a range of samples at different velocities (be that range between 3 samples or 30), thereby saving me loads of tedious mucking about with PhotoShop making a load of icons with different numbers on them. (The naturalstudio dude just released the first pack of conga samples -- 208 MB of requinto thwaps in this case -- and I look forward to the rest of the sampling insanity that the rest of the conga set will bring .... I assume I'll only make a dbkit using a fraction of the samples, but it'll be fun to put together! :)
Cheers, Carl
