These instruments are NOT sample libraries. Unlike sampling, which uses recordings to replicate the sound of an instrument, physical modeling doesn’t generate a sound as such but creates the conditions for the system to create it according to an external input (like someone playing on a keyboard).

Release Notes * After recording a video using Capture & Output → Camera View → Record Screen, you can now choose Analyse to open the video as a Song Map preset, allowing you to loop sections and slow down your performance for review. * MIDI files can now be opened directly with PolyNome. Tempo and time signature changes will be imported into a Playlist structure (notes are not imported). * In a Playlist’s Add Rhythm/Bar page, you can now import a MIDI file and preview the generated Playlist structure before adding it. * Lead Sheets generated from Song Maps now correctly display time signatures for each section. * Cue track Playlists created from Song Maps with time signature changes inside a section will now create separate Playlist items with the correct time signatures. Feedback & Support I love hearing from you—drop me a line at support@polynome.net with any feedback, issues, or suggestions. If PolyNome helps you groove, a rating or review on the App Store would mean the world. Joe
