2. Why do I need to install or upgrade a Soundbank?
You may need to install or upgrade a soundbank if:
- You want to unlock additional tones beyond the default set.
- A new soundbank version has been released.
- You receive a prompt in the app to upgrade your soundbank.
Upgrading ensures you have the latest sounds and best performance.
3. How do I know if I need to upgrade my Soundbank?
You can usually tell that a new soundbank version is available in the following ways:
3.1 App pop-up notification
Whenever a new soundbank version is released, you may receive a pop-up notification when opening the AeroBand Guitar app.
