New version 1.9.9
Old version 1.9.8
Release Notes NEW: - Drum Pads: Additional Positional Velocity mode "Max at center (vertical only)", for narrow pad layouts. - Drum Pads: Added various factory maps for NanoStudio 2's Slate (all layouts), Positive Grid X Drummer and Elliot Garage EGDR 808. - Drum Pads: Zoom to pad (new button in the bottom toolbar) - concentrate on a single pad for more accurate finger drumming (not available on iPhone SE). FIXES: - Fix a rare crash when selecting notes in the Pianoroll while certain controller input modes are enabled. - MIDI Import: "Play through" is now automatically enabled for created parts so that "Split by markers" doesn't interrupt long notes that extend beyond an automatic split.
