Firmware Update - What's New in v1.3

Strike MultiPad Firmware Version 1.3 adds numerous performance improvements that make it even easier to organize your own kits and sample libraries:

• Sample Manager - Take full control of your sample library and browse, play, and delete samples stored on the Strike MultiPad’s internal memory. You can also export samples from internal memory to an external USB drive
• Save/Load User Kits with Samples - You can now save and load user kits including their associated samples - perfect for making a complete backup of your user bank that can also be used on another Strike MultiPad
• Start Click for Loop and Alternate Playback Modes - You can set the metronome to automatically turn on when you play a pad set to loop or alternate playback mode. When you hit the pad again or the sound ends, the metronome stops and restarts at beat 1 when reactivated
• Metronome Downbeat Reset - The metronome now restarts at beat 1 whenever it’s turned on, either via the start click function or by pressing the metronome button
