PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING v3.0 UPDATES!

If you are in the middle of projects that use TB plugins, you are strongly advised not to update plugins before your projects are completed. Due to major improvements in the way plugin parameters are mapped to host automation lanes and external controllers, updating the plugins on existing projects using plugins with versions prior to v3.0 can cause significant differences in settings and/or sound!
