New version 4.1
Old version 4.0.19
Release Notes Version 4.1 is a major update with usability improvements, new features and bug fixes. Here are the biggest changes, but you can visit the Release Notes page of the BandHelper website for more: - Streamlined the menu navigation. The Account and Project menus are now combined into a single menu when the app first launches, and shortcuts to set lists, events, checklists, etc. now appear on the main menu instead of the module menus. - Simplified the process of setting up shortcuts. To take full advantage of the new main menu design, you can designate items as favorites by navigating to a list like Repertoire > Set Lists or Checklists > Checklists and clicking the star icon for an item. It will then appear on the main menu for quick access. - Streamlined the selection of layouts for the set list view. Previously, selecting a set list or smart list from the menus would show list of layouts to view the set list or smart list with. Now, this shows a View button that opens the set list or smart list with your default layout, plus a More Layout Options button that shows the complete list. - Made set list view "title shortcuts" more flexible. Previously, clicking the title in the set list view would show a list of the five most recently used set lists and five most recently used smart lists, which you could then switch to without leaving the set list view. You can now control which set lists and smart lists appear in this popup by navigating to Repertoire > Set Lists or Repertoire > Smart Lists and clicking the triangle icon for an item. - Renamed the Device Linking functionality to Live Sharing and renamed the Remote Control portion of this function to Share Actions. - Added color buttons to the Repertoire > Songs list to quickly set song colors from the list. - Added Settings > Appearance > Invert PDF Colors to display PDFs as light text on a dark background. This is only available in iOS 13 and later, and currently can only show the first page of a PDF, so you should not enable it if you're viewing multi-page documents. - Added a song rating function. You can click the rating icon in the Repertoire > Songs list and rate the song from 1-5. Then you can sort the list by rating, or add a smart list sorted by rating, or sort the Add Songs popup by rating when editing a set list. - Added a Presentation setting under the Lyrics field on the song edit page, with options for Default, 1 Column and 2 Columns. This allows you to display most of your lyrics with a one-column presentation but override a few to use a two-column presentation, or vice-versa. - Changed the horizontal swipe in the set list view to a configurable layout action. This means you can use swipe gestures to trigger other actions, like next/previous document or next/previous MIDI preset, instead of changing songs.

Make Louder is not based on complex dynamics processors and it is also not an overdrive or amplification or saturation effect. We created a special digital algorithm that can boost audio in loudness up to a certain limit, without colorizing the sound too much. And it can prevent the audio to exceed the output limits if you for instance stack together many sound sources.

Borderlands Granular uses a technique called granular synthesis, which involves the superposition of tiny fragments of sound, or “grains," to create complex, evolving timbres and textures.

New version 2.1
Old version 2.0
Release Notes ------------- New features ------------- // Tempo sync -Clouds may optionally sync their grain triggers to the global tempo with Ableton Link support. -Tempo sync works with or without connected Ableton Link clients -New sync division (1/256 notes up to 4 bars), beat offset (triplet, dotted, etc), and sync phase parameters when beat sync is turned on for grain cloud. -Tap tempo control for beat synced grain clouds. //New Parameters For Grain Clouds -Semitone tuning option for grain clouds with 6 octave range (-36 to +36 st) -Grain trigger probability -Ring modulation -Vibrato amount ///Envelope Mode -Optional Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release (ADSR) envelope may be turned on and modified for each grain cloud. -A trigger pad appears inside the grain cloud and allows simultaneous envelope triggering and dragging of the cloud. -The trigger pad and envelope parameters are fully automatable via the same gesture recording method used throughout the app. //Automation updates -Sound file position, size, and rotation may now be automated with gesture recording. -“Ghost clouds” now appear for automated clouds when they are touched. Primary cloud stays stationary, making it easy to capture/edit clouds actively moving around the screen. Ghost cloud continues to move grains down the automation path, merging with the primary cloud when editing is complete and the cloud is no longer touched. - "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. Original looping mode is still an option and can be set per sound. -Files support allows easy access to the Borderlands documents directory. -Overdub level allows sound on sound realtime input recording -New audiobus trigger for adding input recordings. -------------------- Other Improvements -------------------- -Audiobus 3 support -Borderlands Presets and Artist Scenes section added to scenes browser with example content. -Longer max grain duration - 6 seconds. Older scenes will still load with 3 second max. -48 and 96 kHz sample rate options -Input can be monitored anytime, not just when audio is recording. -Realtime input buffers now use double buffering to reduce playhead conflicts with grain playback. -Tempo and automation speed values are now saved / loaded with scenes -Clouds can be rotated and moved simultaneously by touching and dragging with two fingers. -Cloud position can now be automated while cloud is in parameter edit mode. -Automated clouds only delete when full path is offscreen (i.e. no accidental deletion of clouds that have been automated) -Parameter automation begins playback on touch release. -Two finger touch of automated cloud pauses automation when cloud is not in edit mode. -Pitch, duration, vibrato, and volume now impact grains as they are playing (rather than being queued for the next grain), resulting in responsive, instantaneous parameter changes. -“Open blank” option in settings allows you to load blank workspace on launch -Drop folders of sounds into the documents directory. Folder becomes header in the recordings browser. -Switched keys to dark gray -Solo clouds by with mute button and cloud touch --------- Bugfixes --------- -Input recording from line in / mic is working again on iOS 12. -IAA loading issues fixed. -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 -Location services removed from app -Removed airplane mode notification
