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.

New version 3.9.1
Old version 3.9.0
Release Notes FIX - Improved performance and overall stability, especially when multiple instances are loaded and running simultaneously. - Enhanced accessibility for screen readers / VoiceOver in notifications and the notification center. - Room Simulator: minor UI improvements. - Room Simulator: fixed an issue that, in certain conditions, caused inconsistent delay in late reverb reflections. - AUM: fixed a crash when used as an AUv3 plugin in the AUM host on iPhone. - Presets: fixed import for presets created with older extensions. - AUv3: minor UI improvements.

This app is a portable multitrack audio and MIDI recording studio featuring virtual instruments, editing with unlimited undo/redo, mixing, real-time effects, automation and much more!

New version 6.8.5
Old version 6.8.4
Release Notes * Many actions can now be done during playback, most of them without a pause, some with a short pause. * Changed the colors of the piano roll and drum pattern editor into a dark mode. * Added a 'Multi-instrument' option when creating a drum pattern track: in this mode, you can assign an audio file or a sound from a Soundfont to a drum 'lane'. This makes it possible to use your own sounds in the drum pattern editor. Each drum lane now also features its own audio processing chain, meaning that it has its own effects grid, volume, panning, ADSR, pitch shift and basic reverb controls. You can use the iOS drap & drop mechanism to import drum sounds as well (max. file size 4MB). * A free drum sound pack consisting of 80 high quality drum samples for use with the multi-instrument drum pattern editor can be downloaded. It features a wide range of kicks, snares, hihats, toms, etc. sorted by different genres: 80's Retrowave, Acoustic, EDM, Foley, Hip Hop, Industrial and Reggaeton. * Optional in-app purchase to extend the free drum sound pack with 420 more high quality drum samples. * Added multi-output support for AUv3 instruments. Additional outputs can be sent to mix busses. * New Settings screen to match the app's style. * Multiple mixer controls can now be adjusted simultaneously. * Added an 'Import Soundfont' option to the instrument selection dialog (although Soundfonts can always be copied directly using the Files app to the AudioEvolution/SoundFonts folder). * Added a 'Share' option to the file pop-up menu in the file browser. * Added an option 'Draw grid on top of clips' which now defaults to 'off'. * Changes to tempo markers can now be undo/redone. * The audio input dialog now makes it possible to select between different inputs of the device itself, so you can for example select the iPad microphone even if a headset is connected. * The state of the AU button in the instrument display is now remembered and stored with the project. * When editing notes outside the current clip area, the clip will now be automatically expanded. * Added a Quantize option to the pop-up menu of selected notes in the piano roll editor. * Added a 'Select all' button to the piano roll editor in Edit mode. * The mixer can now be scrolled when dragging in the volume slider area. * The available memory is now displayed in the instrument selection dialog. The app will now refuse to load Soundfonts when the available memory is lower than 250MB to prevent out-of-memory crashes. * Added an 'Auto split' option to the audio clip pop-up menu. * Added an option 'MIDI loop recording'. * Added an option to test the new plug-in delay compensation that works for both audio and instrument tracks (non-armed) to the BETA section of the new settings dialog. * The size of the AU MIDI view is now remembered and stored in the project (half/full size) and the option 'Open AU in full screen' has been removed from the Settings. * Portuguese translation * Solved a crash that could occur when MIDI was received while adding or removing a track. * Replacing an effect with the display active of the target effect block could cause a crash. Solved. * A split point could be erroneously added when moving your finger beyond the display edge. Solved. * Long-tapping a position on the arranger screen and selecting Paste could paste at the wrong location. Solved. * MIDI parameter control settings for Evolution One were not set when loading a project. Solved. * Solved a timing issue for MIDI events being recorded from a AU MIDI processor. * Marquee selection in the piano roll did not handle scrolling correctly. Solved. * Selected events in the piano roll could be moved to a negative offset. Solved. * When a MIDI device transmitted Active Sensing events, this could lead to other MIDI events not being parsed correctly, which could result in hanging notes etc. and more..
