Toontrack solo is a stand alone application designed to host Toontrack samplers such as dfh Superior and EZdrummer. It is particularly suited for musicians wanting to jam along with a friend (real ones if you are a drummer or a virtual one if you are a guitarist), or to perform live (for your own pleasure or in front of an audience).
It fixes a number of faults with the new Metronome feature as well as expand the game controller support launched as part of version 1.2.0. The changes in a nutshell:
– added support for Mad Catz XBox Rockband® drumkit on PC
– metronome should now work as expected on PC
– click sounds are correctly recalled/found regardless of the project location on PC
– default metronome settings are remembered
– fixed a bug when opening save files with incorrect paths on PC
– Open/Save/Save as/New combinations should remember the filename
– some minor graphical issues in the mixer have been fixed
