Version 6.3.0

- ADDED New file format, called “Rack”. The new file format is specifically suited to the Blocks framework, and allows to save patches, including the wiring, in a very small file size to enable saving patches with the host chunk
- ADDED Patching on panel for Reaktor Full and Reaktor Player users in Rack mode
- ADDED Quick Search on Panel for convenient browsing in Rack mode

- CHANGED Text module “view” properties default state
- ADDED Min width and height properties for instruments and macros
- ADDED New font “Roboto Condensed Light” for the text module
- ADDED Global switch from A to B view for all instruments at once in Ensemble mode
- IMPROVED Design of the interface in Rack mode. Four new buttons in the header now allow for switching between view states “Compact”, “Ports only” and “Ports and Wires”. Additional toggle switch for “Show Structure”

Version 6.2.1

- ADDED Support for Midi FX in Logic

When pasting a module selection with an unconnected QuickBus send it created a new bus instead of using the existing one. Pasted modules will now use the existing QuickBus
