Bug fixes and stability improvements: - Memory and performance optimisations: now 2 instances possible in all hosts, 3 in AUM! - Fixed bug where SC would crash if the AUv3 window was closed when the file chooser (white window) was open NB: saving of presets and audio samples to Dropbox not currently supported.
