Primary cloud stays stationary, making it easy to capture/edit clouds actively moving around the screen. - "Background touch modes” - touch screen background to activate ghost clouds for all automated grain clouds, second touch to pause all parameter automation, third touch to pause all position automation. -Global automation speed can be increased to 40x original speed. New automation speed is recorded relative to current global automation speed. //Input / Output changes -New “Waterfall” input mode streams audio in from right to left allowing for complex granular FX.

Folder becomes header in the recordings browser. -Switched keys to dark gray -Solo clouds by with mute button and cloud touch -Input recording from line in / mic is working again on iOS 12. -Gravity / cloud edge mode functionality now works when app is in the background -Fixed crash that could occur when deleting clouds while accelerometer is on. -Pan automation values now update properly. -Blank scene can now be saved without freezing the app

Old version 2.5.3
Release Notes There are some great new features for you in 2.5.4! The bullets are below. You can find out more details in the Help file under What's New. Main page •Option to hide Seq2 when in Landscape on iPhone. •Polyrhythm moved to main menu. When you create a Polyrhythm, whatever you were working on will be saved and the default Polyrhythm preset will be loaded and populated with default polyrhythm sounds. If you modify sounds and save, those new sounds will be used for future polyrhythms. If you delete the Polyrhythm preset in the Presets Library it will be re-created with default sounds next time you create a polyrhythm. Edit Pattern Page •You can split a sticking in Line 1 (e.g. RLRRLRRR) by long pressing on an empty Line 2 and choosing "Move Stickings From Line 1". Super Quick Tempo •If PolyNome is stopped when you load the Quick Tempo Entry page, the bottom right button becomes a play button for super quick starting. Playback •When you have an accented roll (notated with slashes), only the first note of the roll will be accented. •Open hi-hats will only be cut short by other hi-hat sounds on the same line. •Ruffs and Drags on hi-hats now work properly. Playlist •Long press an item to jump to edit mode with that item selected. From there you can quickly rearrange, or loop selected items •New "Save In Playlist" option when you choose "Save As" from the Disk Button menu on the main page (if there's a Playlist loaded). This makes creating a Playlist with multiple items VERY fast. •If you have a Playlist item loaded and you changing tempo/loops/timer on the main page, PolyNome will not prompt you to save when you load another playlist item. Swiping to the main page and tapping the "reps" button is a quick way to loop and work on a single item from a Playlist. •When editing a Playlist you can now see the reorder handles Paste Attributes •The Paste Attributes page now has the ability to Paste both Seq1 and Seq2 attributes at the same time, or paste attributes from one sequencer into both Bug Fixes •Opening PolyNome in split screen on an iPad? I finally fixed the bug where everything was messed up! •Fixed accent levels when playing back within a playlist. •Fixed bug where Playlist scrolling became unresponsive after playing for a while. If you enjoy PolyNome and have time to leave or update a review, it's really appreciated. Thanks again for using PolyNome. Stay safe!

Release Notes - Added a utility to update songs that currently link to iTunes recordings to link to local recordings instead, if you have added local files with the same names as the iTunes titles. This is meant to help you migrate to using local recordings, to avoid problems with iTunes syncing, and for Mac compatibility. - Added a utility to update songs that currently link to Word files to link to PDF files instead, if you have added PDF files with the same names as the Word files. This is meant to help you migrate to using PDF files, in preparation for the end of Word file support in December. - Fixed a problem that prevented the recording play button from appearing on the song edit page if the song only has one recording attached and it is a local recording. - Fixed a rounding error that sometimes caused the page number to be off when paging through lyrics. - Fixed the positions of annotations and markers in a one-page document in a two-column layout. - Fixed the recording play button after arming and disarming the in-app recording function without making a recording. - Stopped simplifying the flat symbol in chord names in some situations where it isn't needed to maintain consistent spacing. - Restored the confirmation message after submitting troubleshooting info or a screen shot to the help desk.
