Aug 07, 2025
In this update (1.2.5):
- Note chopping function added in the Note Editor. Select note(s) and move the "Chop" dragger. Selected note(s) will be split into a number of equal pieces. Hold SHIFT while moving for the numbers of power of two. Very useful for polyrhythmic tricks.
- Note warping function added in the Note Editor. Works on a selected row of notes (e.g. on a drum fill), changes notes timing by creating smooth acceleration or deceleration. Select a row of notes, then hold down SHIFT ("Chop" dragger will turn into a "Warp") and then move the "Warp" dragger up for acceleration or down for deceleration.
- Chop to Grid: new function added in the Note Editor's operations menu. It chops selected note(s) into smaller parts using current Grid Snap setting.
- Halve and Double note timing functions in the Note Editor are now automatically modifying clip's loop range, if no notes were selected before the operation.
- pattern load optimisations;
- m4a sample format support added (for internal Sampler);
- fixed issue with renaming folders that contain dot symbol in their name;
- CPU load/energy optimization: GR-2 will now drop its graphics to 30 FPS every time user opens the AUv3 window. And then restores it back after the window is closed;
- other minor bug fixes and improvements.
In previous update (1.2.4):
- added Acid Riff Generator (ported from the JimAudio Pure Acid app), accessible from Clip Editor, Melodic Parts only. You can select Scale, Key, Octaves range and one from 6 available generator modes;
- added Legato setting for the internal synth/sampler/wt/sf2, located on the lower end of the POLYPHONY knob in synth's settings. When set to Legato, a synth will get 1 voice polyphony and slide from one pitch to another, when notes overlap, using GLIDE knob's value. This is especially useful when playing 303-style note slides;
- added new Pitch Delay IFX, in 4 combinations (mono/stereo, bpm/free). It is combines Delay effect with Pitch Shifter, where every next repeat is being shifted up or down;
- added One Tap Delay IFX, which adds one single repeat to the original sound with adjustable Pan, Time delay and Mix;
- Stereo Width IFX: added new Balance knob, which adjusts panning of the stereo-Side channel;
- added mono versions of Chorus and Flanger effects;
- STEPS pad mode improvement: you can now write automation per step by holding a step pad (or even several) and simultaneously moving a parameter knob on the Sound page. This method can also be used with AUv3 instruments.
- added one more "Parallel Special 3" setting to the MFX routing on the FX Buses page;
- crash fixed when creating a new folder in the empty user presets tab in the Browser;
- fixed: some LFO timings (3/8, 3/16) were performing incorrectly;
- added a solution which can prevent issue with partial UI freezing after using certain AUv3's. However, if the issue still persists, you can now tap the Stop button to clear touches cache and unfreeze the UI;
- added a new keyboard shortcut CMD+M to toggle Metronome Click On/Off.
