| New version | 1.1.1 |
| Old version | 1.1.0 |
| Release Notes | In 1.1.1 we added some things: - Inter-app Audio enabled! we fixed some things as well: - Fixed a bug that cause the app to crash on certain devices when using the Motion Control interactive tutorial (only available for iPhone). - Fixed a button not drawing correctly in iPhone X. - Fixed a bug that was stopping Ableton Link from working properly, and sometimes the 'Send over WiFi" would stop working too. Thank you for your quick feedback that allows us to find these things that never happen in our office. Keep the feedback coming In 1.1.0 we introduced: ============== MOTION CONTROL ============== With motion control, you can use your iPhone to trigger the snapshots of your session. There are four distinct gestures, identified using the latest in machine learning technology, which enable you to jump seamlessly between snapshots with your movements. Just perform the gestures to hear the results! Check out the in-app tutorial to get started (iPhone only). You can also use the gestures done using your iPhone, to control a remote instance of SNAP running on an iPad that is connected to the same wireless network for an interactive, multi-device musical performance. This is the first step towards a whole new dimension of control for your drums. More new stuff: As requested, we added a MIDI note selector (in the settings page) so you can control which notes SNAP uses in its MIDI output. We also added some new factory sessions to inspire you, and we bashed a few bugs here and there. |

Free iPad instrument featuring the classic sounds of famous 80s FM Synthesizers.
| New version | 1.1.4 |
| Old version | 1.1.2 |
| Release Notes | New warm tube-drive algorithm. The "Overdrive" knob gives you some nice crunch. Turn it up halfway, and turn on the Auto Panner for a nice "Rotary Speaker" effect. It adds character while retaining the sonic characteristics of the source tone. This is great for a nice, vintage EP drive. BTW, thanks for all the emails. We are still working on FM Player, and have many more free upgrades and features planned in the coming months... Stay tuned! And, please tell your friends! :) You can reach me directly at matthew@audiokitpro.com Includes all the v1.1 stuff: ATTACK & RELEASE knobs. Plus, beautiful new MIDI velocity handling. Why so much attention to detail? You're a musician who cares about sound quality. This free update gives you a dramatic increase in realism while playing with a MIDI keyboard. Please leave a good review, We're still working on FM Player. We think you are all GREAT and we appreciate all your kind words! <3. • We spent weeks coming up with beautiful velocity curves individually tailored to each sound. This was done with code. Meaning, we did not increase the storage space! • Better MIDI keyboard velocity. Each preset has a unique velocity response, inspired by the original hardware. • We found that Attack/Release controls are the most useful envelopes for a sample-based instrument like FM Player. Turn up the Release knob all the way for beautiful and floating sounds. • We updated the GitHub source-code repo with these new Attack/Release controls. Plus, there is a new programming tutorial video on our website, audiokitpro.com • We are all volunteers, working hard for you. We do not get paid anything. And, we make FM Player free so musicians all over the world can enjoy it! You can reach a real person at hello@audiokitpro.com. We care about you and will read every email personally! WORKING ON: We are working on a free Synth app that you will love. And, we are working on making FM Player more power efficient. Plus, other improvements you have emailed. In the meantime, it might be best to completely close FM Player when you are not using it to save battery use. We appreciate your patience with us as we figure this out. <3 Please note that we all are volunteers. AudioKit does not have any sponsors or investors. We are all musician/developers who love making apps. Any help spreading the word about this app would be appreciated. The more people that know about the apps, the more musicians can enjoy them! Thank you! |
