0.9.250 TESTERS NEEDED for plugin stability

Have made some decent ground on plugins and was hoping to see if anyone can test any of their broken plugins for me. MacOS and Windows

- EZDrummer is working which was a big request, however I haven't used it before so I don't exactly know the exact functionality. Let me know if anything is missing.

- Can someone please check to see if Kontakt is working?

- AU plugins have been disabled temporarily as well.

This isn't the final update, but a checkpoint to see where we're at.
Cheers!

It's still in the early stages!

I know a lot of you are expecting everything to work perfectly from the moment you download it, things will change/break constantly as we update and create better systems for Tape 16, but remember it's still very much in it's formative months.

It's part of the fun / and pain of building something together. We really do love the feature suggestions everyone's bringing to the table, and please keep bringing them, the list is getting stronger everyday. It's so beautiful to make something musicians can enjoy on a more personal level, and to cross into so many genres is wild!

The great focus now is broader plugin support + VTSi's which is easily the weakest point and most crashable part of Tape 16 and may take a little longer than usual, so bare with us. <3

Starting to really enjoy it finally instead of squashing the bugs constantly! Just found a few more in the bounce section, so i'll patch that up asap.

TO FIX (off the top of my head)

- auto updater not working at all
- bounce is using old save disk pattern (producing pops/cracks)
- add change log to updated version screen
- smoother plugin browsing, so hover doesn't get stuck
- track names on SSL

Send me some if you have any ideas/bugs!
