Please perform a backup before you upgrade to 4.0!
Rig Manager revision 1.5.40 is required!
Rigs, Performances, Presets, and Snapshots created under this operating system are only downward compatible with operating system 3.3.0 Build 11973, but not with elder operating systems!
This operating system introduces the following new features and fixes:
Audio
added: Morphing (demonstration Rigs enclosed in this upgrade package and available as Morphing Demo Rig Pack)

User Interface
added: Strobe Tuner with “cent” display replacing Bubble Level Tuner
added: new subpage “Button Assignments” on page “Remote Settings” in System Menu allows to assign alternative functions to Remote’s TAP, TUNER, and LOOPER buttons
added: function Looper Button 1 (Record/Playback/Overdub) and 2 (Stop) as well as Morph Button can be assigned to external switches and Remote’s TAP, TUNER, LOOPER
