Hi All,
Another month is upon us, so here is the latest news from Freelance Soundlabs redacted from the monthly FSL email newsletter, over to Jason:

Library Artwork Updates for MK3 Keyboard
For those that may have missed the memos about this, be aware that the MK3 keyboard has some new image asset requirements for the display of artwork on its screen which needs to be updated in every past library. All libraries released and updated from November of last year will have this artwork included. Libraries before November of last year are slowly being updated and you can download just the required image files for these from a shared Google Drive here:
