Some of you may have missed this but, ​just before Christmas, Robin Vincent of Surface Pro Audio and Molten Music Technology, published a full review of Yeco over on his Youtube channel. It is embedded at the end of this article and it's well worth a watch. It is the most comprehensive review of Yeco to date and goes into very precise detail about almost every feature. We'd like to thank him firstly for taking the time to put Yeco through its paces and secondly for his very kind words and compliments. The accompanying article over on his site can be found here for those who wish to read it (and we do encourage you to) http://surfaceproaudio.com/yeco-touch-control-ableton-live-full-review/ Both the video and the written review do an excellent job of explaining exactly what Yeco does and what we intended it to be good at and used for. Robin makes this distinction nicely  At the time, we did not have the browser feature released which was a pity I guess as it was one of things Robin said he would have liked to see. There were plenty of other suggestions in there that we are looking at or were already looking into such as MPE support, which I can tell you is on it's way. Overall though we couldn't have been happier with the review and we of course urge any of you reading this to check it out and try Yeco for yourself.  

So, the current demo is basically a cut back version of Yeco with limited abilities, mainly a limited number of tracks and limited access to the touch MIDI controllers. It allows people to see if Yeco runs on their computer and gives a flavour of what it's like to use. It is unlimited and free. The problem is that is does not give people the opportunity to experience all the features of Yeco before they buy it. The 14 day free trial however, is different in that you can try Yeco with all its features but for a limited time only. We think this is enough time to figure out whether you wish to purchase or not. The reason for changing from a free demo to a free trial is pretty simple. It's what people are asking for. Those who have the free demo will still be able to use it but we are ending support and updates for it. We are emailing everyone who downloaded the demo to let them know and move them to the free trial if they so wish. Also note that when signing up for the free trial we do not ask for any payment or credit card information whatsoever. Download the free trial here​

Today we are releasing our most requested feature to date, access and control of Live’s browser. This allows you to preview and load instruments, effects, packs and plugins right there in Yeco, without having to go back to Live. We promise this will save time and improve the smoothness of your workflow The browser update is free to existing users so if you are one, check your inbox. We have also made several improvements in speed and reliability across the application. Thanks to everyone who provided us with feedback for this one. Take a look at the video below to see it in action.

Added chords featureThis feature allows you to assign chords to keys on any of our controllers. Watch the short 1 minute tutorial below to see how it works. Auto starts MIDI with last settings on launchThis was much requested by users. This feature means that Yeco now remembers the last virtual MIDI port that was chosen and connects to it automatically the next time you launch Yeco.  Remembers screen ratio selection on launchSimilarly Yeco now remembers the screen ratio last chosen and loads it automatically on launch Choose direction of velocity on padsAs our pads were velocity sensitive increasing along the y-axis from bottom to top. Following user feedback, we have now included a control to change the direction of the sensitivity to go in the other direction. Of course you can also disable this at any time and set the desired velocity for the entire pad. ​Improved update checkingYeco now informs you if there is an update available right from the home screen on launch. Of course you will still get an email notification from us too. Bug fixesMany thanks to all those who took the time to report issues.
