Turnado is a multi-effect tool, crafted especially for massive real-time audio manipulation.

New version 1.5.0
Old version 1.3.7
Release Notes ••• Audio Unit v3 ••• (Attention: Please be aware that with this update already existing Inter-App Audio and Audiobus sessions won't work anymore!) We decided to drop native Audiobus and Inter-App Audio support and focus on what we think is the future for iOS. Thanks to AUv3 you now have a plugin interface that offers you the most features currently available. No longer switch between apps or rely on work-around solutions with extra steps and messy MIDI problems. Simply run Turnado within your favourite iOS DAW just like you would on desktop. Go wild running multiple instances, record parameter changes in real time and automatically save/restore Turnado's state within the host app. ••• iCloud Drive ••• Through iCloud, you'll be able to share your saved presets across multiple devices including your desktop computer.

Groove Rider GR-16 is a professional step-sequenced groove box, inspired by professional hardware drum machines and rhythm boxes.

New version 1.5.2
Old version 1.5.1
Release Notes In this version (1.5.2): - Bluetooth Midi Devices dialog added (Settings menu -> "Bluetooth Midi Devices"). - increased precision of the peak level indicators. - minor bug fixes. In version 1.5.1: - bug fixed when saving Part Sound presets with imported user samples. In version 1.5.0: - midi clock (input) synchronization support added, it is disabled by default. To enable it, go to Settings menu, enable Midi Clock In and disable IAA Host Sync and Ableton Link. Also, there is now a midi clock latency adjust parameter in the Settings menu. - new global setting added: Midi CC Mode. Can be set to either "Catch" (by default) or "Jump". It determines, how GR-16's knobs will react on incoming midi controller changes. - midi learn feature added. To enter it, quickly tap any desired parameter knob 3 times. Then move your midi controller. When done, tap WRITE button to confirm and save changes. Midi Learn currently works for changing the midi mappings for the knob parameters only. - midi channel receive filter global setting added. Works only for the "Omni" midi mode. - part sound presets added. Now you can store your own part sound presets, as well as browse through provided Bank A factory presets. Open presets window by tapping the "Preset >" button on the Wave selection screen. - sample reverse feature added. Can be set for the entire Part (a new button in the sample view screen), or also for specific notes in a Part (by adjusting note's Stroke parameter). For note stroke setting, there are two reverse modes available: one is a full sample reverse, second if a "half reverse", allowing you to play a sample from its middle point (can be useful in one-shot samples like drum shots); both settings are available by turning the Stroke parameter to the negative direction. - new value for the pattern "Chain To" parameter added: "Next Pattern", allowing you to chain current pattern directly to the next one in the list. This can significantly simplify the process of creating pattern chains. - new animation added on the default screen: "Channels", which show all 16 parts current sound peak volumes and their RMS. You can change this animation to Oscillogram, or switch it off from the Settings menu -> "Animation" setting. - you now have an option for all level meters to show the sound volume as Peak (default), and RMS / RMS+Peak (new), adjustable from Settings menu -> "Level meters" setting. - bug fixed: when "Poly" setting was set to Off for the Part, the Part could still produce polyphonic sounds in some cases; - bug fixed: now, if you load a user sample onto a Part, it remembers the sample's folder where it was loaded from; - improved: sudden sound artifacts (clicks/pops) have been reduced when switching between patterns in non-playback mode; - 4 new skin schemes added; also, the very first "Default" skin has been changed; - final factory preset track called "Melbourne Shuffle" added to Bank A, consisting of 6 patterns with examples of using trigger conditions and note sample reverse. These are the last patterns to be added in Bank A.

Release Notes +++ Adding support for MIDI mpe (brightness, pitchbend and pressure). +++ Adding bluetooth MIDI support. +++ Adding MIDI omni mode. Notes on connecting a mpe midi device like Roli Seaboard Block: Make sure to set MIDI channel to omni, mpe work by assigning each note a separate midi channel. The seaboard maps horizontal movements to pitchbend, vertical movements to brightness and touch force to pressure.

Mimicking the layout of Hohner's iconic chromatic button accordions (CBA), both B-System (Bayan) and C-System, this intuitive virtual accordion is easy to play and sounds exactly like the real instrument.

New version 4.0.2
Old version 3.2
Release Notes New features: MIDI Control: The Treble sounds may be played via MIDI from a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI player or controller apps. Set the MIDI channel for the treble side using the "MIDI Channel" slider on the settings page. Lowest note is G3 (MIDI Note 55) Range is G3 through E6. Bass/Chord Shift: You can now transpose the bass and chords up or down by either zero or two semitones, effectively shifting the bass side up or down by two rows. This allows you to play songs that use chords not available in the basic layout, for example Em tunes that require Bm and F#m. For example, a shift of +2 means that the E bass and chord buttons now play F#, the A is a B, and D is an E. Note: When the bass side sound is transposed, the labels on the buttons do not change. This may be addressed in a future update. I added this feature after wanting to be able to play "Indifference" on the app, which required F#m. :-)
