Here you can find list of changes for the product MDrummer Note that we use kernel version numbers, hence most product do not start with version 1.00 and all effects have always the same version number, similarly both MDrummer Small and Large have the same version number.

7.00 changes

NOTE: MDrummer plugin (with variable number of outputs) has been discontinued, and only MDrummer1out and MDrummer16out are supported now. If you need the removed version for sake of your existing projects, please keep the older version installed.
