Scroll buttons appear if the number of knobs exceeds 3. • MultitrackStudio Instruments: Acoustic pianos now have true continuous half pedaling. (half pedal range = 48..80) • MIDI file lyrics: line breaks are now read from imported files, and saved to exported files. MultitrackStudio only allows line breaks between bars (not within a bar). • There's no longer a limit on the number of markers which can be read from a MIDI file. A confirmation dialog appears when there are more than 20 markers. You can see the markers before actually importing them. • Fixed: some dialogs could hang on 8th gen iPad. • Fixed: issue with Note Velocity Editor showing only the notes of the selected drum note. |
