New Features & Improvements:
Auto Filter – The Auto Filter audio effect, including presets, has been added to Move’s Core Library. Auto Filter is a versatile filter effect that includes many interesting filter types and modulation possibilities.

Sample Slicing – To enter Slicing mode, hold Shift and press the wheel while a sample is in focus on the display. Then press the wheel again to select the Slice option.
Drum Sampler

Parameter banks can now be accessed by holding Shift and turning the wheel while a sample is in focus on the display. Previously, accessing banks was possible by holding Shift and pressing the wheel, which is now used to enter Slicing mode.
