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.
