Tone2 has released ElectraX v.1.1, an update to its software synth for Mac & PC.

Here’s what’s new:

• The arpeggiator has been extended.
• ‘S’ restarts the note-order-sorting. This is very usefull to syncronize rhythmic patterns and to get a more harmonic beat which does not rely on the number of pressed keys. We recommend to put an ‘S’ in the 1st or the 8th slot of the arp and play it life!

Improvements:

• Improved host compatibility
• Improved usablity and workflow
• Improved compatibility for Windows7 and Vista Systems
• Improved Midi learn
• More easy installation

Changes:

• Less popups
• Demo test time has been extended

Fixes:

• Workarounds for various host bugs
• Fixed a possible crash and some GUI glitches
• Installer automatically fixes possible Windows 7 compatibility problems
