3. Important Notes
==================================================================

Version 3.0.2

- Replace Cell (by Sample): this feature from Battery 2 can now be 
  emulated by using Delete Cell and Add Sample. 

- Replace sample: this feature from Battery 2 can be emulated by
  using Delete Zone and Add Zone. In the current version, Replace 
  Zone works only in combination with Cut Zone or Copy Zone.

- Modulation restrictions: like in Battery 2, certain combinations
  of modulation sources and targets are not possible. However, 
  currently you are not restricted from chosing those combinations.
  As a general rule any modulators in the last section cannot be
  used with any modulator targets in the last section.


Version 3.0

- The shortcut for the Randomize Cell function is now Strg-D 
  (Apple-D).

- After the changing of the sample rate a restart of BATTERY 
  is required.

- Host key commands are intercepted after you clicked into 
  the Battery 3 window, click into the host window to be 
  able to send keys to the host again.
