• The engine version currently in use is displayed when clicking on the DUNE logo. Open a new instance of Dune to start with the current, latest engine.
• Modulation Matrix has row numbers now.
• Pitch Bend Up/Down wasn’t visually updated in some hosts when loading a project, fixed.
• [Windows] In Cubase 5 64-bit, Dune could crash during initialization- fixed.
• [Mac OS X] The Audio Unit now uses 20–30% less CPU than previously.
• [Mac OS X] Modulation matrix destination menus have better and more logical ordering.
