- Folder management: it is possible to group some projects within a folder, so that you do not have a long list in the case of many projects . Thus, projects can be found in the main "Home" level (in previous releases) or grouped within a folder. In the BBeat Manager, folders are highlighted on the left bar. Existing projects can be moved to folders by selecting them from HOME and clicking on the "folders" icon on the bar.
On BBeat, folders are highlighted with the folder icon: doing ENTER displays the folder's projects, ESC takes you back. Folder playback is not allowed
- Ability to apply changes to a block of text in the text editor. By selecting the affected lines, it is possible to apply minor synchronization changes to these lines with (+) and (-) or simultaneously write time on the input box, set text color and alignment for a single portion.
- Ability to send PLAY and STOP from a MIDI-connected keyboard. There is a new option in MIDI INPUT SETUP for configuring commands. Connect the keyboard via MIDI to BBeat's USB port using a standard MIDI-USB converter if the keyboard is not USB. Since each keyboard sends its own mapped commands such as PLAY and STOP, BBeat "learns" what the MIDI commands are for PLAY and STOP (in the options, MIDI input setup). It is a kind of advanced "pedal" that includes PLAY and STOP.
- It is possible to mute a family and keep the configuration stored even on subsequent power-ups.
- Added the ability to change the background image directly from the B.Beat in the System > Options > Background Image menu
- Added the ability to keep the fan always on from the BBeat in the System > Options > Fan Mode menu (Always On or Auto)
- The LINE IN input of the PRO can also be used with only one cable (MONO), and the signal is put in the center in stereo in the headphones. It must be configured in the Options (MONO LINE IN)
