Beta Testers

 

* Since AutoArp is not a physical hardware device, the "removable faceplate" is a conceptual reference to the planned future release of a tablet version of AutoArp which will read and write .repatch files allowing patches to be edited/created on the tablet and then loaded into AutoArp Rack Extension. Details and release date TBA.
