From today you will be able to update all your Kilohearts software to a new version via the update tab in the Kilohearts Installer.

This update brings a few improvements and bug fixes as well as some significant new features. Most notably, we have added more options and controls to the Unison settings. We’ve also made a VST3 version available... but that’s not nearly as interesting as all the awesome new Unison stuff.

The full changelog is below but first here are the juicy bits...

New Unison Modes and Controls

The first thing you will notice is that the layout of the generators has changed a little. To make more space, we’ve hidden the Unison and the sampler’s Loop sections away when not in use. And we’ve added Unison to the sampler module.

Now… the really exciting additions are the new Unison modes. Eighteen modes are now available in total, grouped into ‘Unison’, ‘Creative’ and ‘Chords’. Each of these modes will multiply the source in different and sometimes surprising ways.

Let’s hand over to Cameron to show you more.
