New version 1.0.3.1
Old version 1.0.3
Release Notes Thanks for all the helpful feedback and support. Version 1.0.3 has a whole lot of new features, fixes and improvements including the much-requested Pad Labels! 1. Pad labels You can now label pads. The obvious function call for this is: LabelPad padnum, {Label} 2. Handling of AU Parameters I completely reworked AU parameter handling to be more robust. It should now work as expected in all directions; sending them into the plugin, and getting them out of the plugin, either via the GUI or via scripts. 3. Scripts can now be much longer (up to 2500 lines). 4. Maximum number of user variables raised to 200 5. Improved keyboard support and behavior on iPad 6. Functions for keeping track of Note States Basically, this offers you a 16-channel x 128-note matrix for storing values to keep track of whatever you're doing with MIDI notes: SetNoteState channel, note, value value = GetNoteState channel, note 7. FillArray now accepts an optional index and number of cells to fill: FillArray variable, value [,numcells] FillArray a[50], 64, 25 // fill 25 cells with the value 64, starting with a[50] 8. Use note names and scale names in strings Log {The root note is: }, RootNoteName Log {The current scale: }, ScaleName Log {The third scale: }, (ScaleName 2) LabelKnob 0, {Note: }, (NoteName 3) // Note: D# LabelKnob 0, {Note: }, (NoteName 40, YES) // Note: E2 --> this shows the octave with the note name These 'macros' work in all Label and Log functions.. 9. OnMetroPulse timing improved when using extreme metronome resolutions (> 250) 10. PresetScale now also works with numerical values: PresetScale 3 Log ScaleName // MinorMelodic 11. Exit You can use the Exit command to immediately exit an event handler 12. Array initializer bugs fixed There were some issues when using mathematical operators in array initializers 13. MASSIVE internal refactoring of GUI and event handling code, resulting in higher performance and less complex code (=fewer bugs and easier maintenance ;-) ). 14. GetXYMorphValue was flipped. Flipped it back. 15. Pitchbend bug fixed 16. OnHostStart/OnHostStop are now fired before all other events 17. Really long labels could sometimes cause a crash - fixed

New version 6.0
Old version 5.2
Release Notes - Audio Recorder, improvement: No reverb is applied to confirmation sounds, so the reverb needs not be deactivated when using the "delayed start" option of the recorder. - Sounding Presets, bugfix: When a Sound Preset starts while already another one is playing, the current reverb settings are now kept. - Bugfix: It was not possible to use "Open In Rooms!" in the Files app to open files with Rooms!. - Convolution Reverb, improvement: Performance optimisations. - Convolution Reverb, improvement: Tweaking does not anymore need the Convolution Reverb in-app purchase and hence is now possible with the demo impulse responses. - Audiobus: Updated to version 3.0.7. - Various minor other improvements. - Internal code cleanup. Due to App Store and Audiobus requirements, and much to our regret, we are not anymore able to support iOS 5 and iOS 6. The minimum target system is now iOS 9.3.5.

This shimmer effect is a combination of effects that creates an etherial wall of sound. The effect combines a digital delay and pitch shifter to create multiple harmonies before entering a rich long reverb with controllable filtering. The resulting effect is a monsterously huge sound adding a spacious atmospheric quality to any lead instrument or vocal.
