New version 2.4.7
Old version 2.4.6
Release Notes 2.4.7 brings some great new features and improvements to PolyNome. The summary is below. Check "What's New In 2.4.7" in the in-app Help for further details. BIG FEATURES --------------- ** Record and export audio direct from PolyNome! ** Tap the Preset name at the top of the main metronome page and choose "Toggle Record". You'll see the play button turn red. Whatever plays in PolyNome will be saved to an audio file. When PolyNome stops you'll get a share dialog so you can import into another app, save to files, or email it to someone. SMALL FEATURES --------------- - You can quickly rename a Preset by tapping the Preset name on the main screen. - "Insert Existing Playlist" option added to the '+' button on the Playlist page. This allows you to insert the contents of another Playlist into the current one. - The numbers in the BIG NUMBERS display now bounce to give a better feel of the tempo. - The Rates displays have been improved. If you have different rates in Met 1 and Met 2 you'll see a "Rates" fader in the mixer. This can be used to visualise polyrhythms. FIXES --------------- - Set All Tempos option now works in the Playlist. It's still quicker to just tap the padlock button in the tempo display to lock the tempo of the playlist! - Fixes to InterApp Audio and Audiob.us compatability I hope you enjoy these new features. If you have time to leave (or update) an App Store review, it's much appreciated and really helps with future development. Any questions, just get in touch via the App. Thanks for using PolyNome! Joe

Release Notes Thanks, You're Amazing!! We're always updating Digital D1! NEW FIXES: + Arp & Sequencer Mode IMPROVEMENT, reduces hung notes from MIDI + Reduce Arp/Sequencer crashes + AudioKit TuneUp fixed w/ D1 (Visit audiokitpro.com/tuneup for more information) + Scala file import & Master Tuning now more accurate tunings + Toggling Reverb on/off has proper mix rate + Mono Mode now velocity sensitive from MIDI keyboard + New: You can use the "Import" button on the Presets panel in D1 now to import Scala tuning files. The "Import" button will determine if the file you're importing is a preset, bank, or Scala file and import accordingly now. + We're working hard on AUv3 improvements daily, please stay tuned. We'll get to all your requests! V1.3.0 This Update Adds some of your Most Requested Features: + Search Presets: On the Presets panel you can now easily find and search through the 500+ included presets + Master Tuning: Tuning knob now matches Synth One's range of 410 to 470 (This knob is on the bottom of FX Panel when you hide the keyboard) + Open With... : You can now import presets & Banks from Files, DropBox, Email, iCloud using the "Open with..." from iOS, then "Digital D1" will appear. And, in case you missed it, you can also do this with Scala files (SCL). That's right, you can start D1 with the Microtonal Scala file of your choice! (For more information on microtonality and D1, check out audiokitpro.com/tuneup ) + Fixed: Mono Mode, Glide and other issues from MIDI Keyboard + Fixed: On screen keyboard velocity keeps velocity when sliding to new notes Version 1.2.1 + This update adds NanoStudio 2 AUv3 & Camelot support And, support for Guitar hosts. Version 1.2 + Fixes MIDI keyboard recognition in stand alone mode + Fixes Support for iPad 4 + Add support for 48Khz iPads. (Fixes pitch sounding +1 semitone on some iPads in AUv3) + It's recommended you replace IAA D1 with AUv3 in your projects. If you must use IAA, start D1 first standalone before adding to project Plus v1.1.1 + AU MIDI now receives Pitch & ModWheel + AU MIDI now receives MIDI CC - Use for MIDI Learn or MIDI CC Host Automation + Still not seeing MIDI input? Make sure your MIDI Input channel is on 1 or Omni. You can set the MIDI Input in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard. + NOTE: iPadOS Beta AU is not supported yet. But, D1 AU will support it soon +AUv3 is here. Use D1 as an AU Plugin in your favorite iOS Host! (GarageBand, AUM, Audiobus, BeatMaker 3, Cubasis, NanoStudio 2, more!) + After months of hard work. D1 has been completely rewritten. There may be some bugs. Please be patient with us. :) + Improved stability when running multiple instances (we don't recommend running more than 3 instances, though) ** IMPORTANT: Open update in Stand alone first to migrate your existing presets to AUv3 NOTES * When freezing in Cubasis, if nothing appears in the audio track, try setting Cubasis to compatibly mode * D1 is rather robust. It's a beast of a synth. * We've re-engineered and optimized it so you can run 2, 3 or more instances in one project! Of course, if you go above 3 instances running at once, it may become unstable. * AUv3 also handles MIDI better. Use your favorite iOS host like AUM to route MIDI to different instances * AUv3 mode defaults to CPU efficient mode on, which means you don't see the knob animation on LFOs. BTW, this makes it easier to set LFO targets. This can be changed in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard * There's a new keyboard hide/show icon that appears at the top of the AUv3 mode to make it easier to show/hide bottom panels in AUv3 mode * We can't wait to hear the music you make with D1 as an AUv3 * The app will just get better & better - stay tuned! Email bugs, music, & friendly notes to: hello@audiokitpro.com We're working hard to improve the app for you! Stay tuned!
