The one thing that SoloRack is in desperate need for now is a new lot of presets utilizing the new modules. Well, I’ve added some 25+ presets but thats nothing to speak of. I intend to add more in a latter update. Most of the current sound library was done when SoloRack was first released back in 2017. The synth has gotten way more powerful since then. So I don’t consider the current preset library as representative of SoloRack’s true capabilities.
