| Release Notes | - Fixed GeoPizzBass going silent and reverting to "not purchased" even after Restore Purchases - New — Three new playing surfaces. A preset can now be saved with one of four keyboards: the Isomorphic grid, the Piano Keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard and the Janko Keyboard. Pick the type at the top of Menu > Keyboard. - New — All playing surfaces now support Touch Velocity! Touch Velocity uses iOS/iPadOS device's Accelerometer to measure how hard you tap a note. How hard you tap a note is directly converted into MIDI velocity. - New — All the new playing surfaces support MPE. This means that the Piano Keyboard is an MPE keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard is an MPE keyboard and the Janko Keyboard is an MPE keyboard - New — Asymmetric pitch bend range is now supported for all playing surfaces. For instance, your pitch bend range up could be 24 semitones and your pitch bend range down could be -12. - New — GeoJamTrax backing tracks including: Ode To Pink (Uniform Keyboard), Dirt_Blues, Todd Is God (Piano Keyboard), Tribal, Easy Street, Be-Whole(Janko Keyboard) - New — Three new factory setlists — PKB Keyboard, UKB Keyboard and JANKO Keyboard — 50 presets each one for each instrument type and MIDI Out type - New — Multi-select import. The import file picker now lets you select many presets and setlists and import them all in one go. - New — MIDI Visual Feedback of incoming-note indicators now show both expression axes at once: vertical (CC74) motion moves the indicator up and down while pressure brightens and darkens it — the two no longer fight over the display - New — The Naada plucked-string keyboard presets have a Mono button for legato playing, so you can switch without opening Performance Settings. - New — Strum zones can be turned on and off individually. Double-tap to enable or disable each of the Chords, Strum and Keyboard zones; the remaining zones resize to fill the space, and re-enabling restores your original layout exactly. - New — The standalone GeoShred Studio window is resizable, holding a constant 4:3 aspect ratio as you drag it. Launch and resize flicker are fixed, and the keyboard no longer lays itself over the chord and strum zones after a resize. - New Connect Send can keep the sending device's audio on — a MIDI configuration option, so you can hear both instruments - New MIDI Configuration for Artiphon Chorda. - GarageBand tip: for recording the new keyboards, use the MPE Channel Mode MIDI configuration — and make sure GarageBand's Support MPE setting is turned on (recent GarageBand updates turn it off). - Improved or fixed - MPE, temperaments, sustain, Hammer On Pull Off Legato (aka HOPO), setlist management, visual feedback, startup flow, MOTD context in plugin hosts, handling of hardware interrupts for touches, LinnStrument support, Control Surface picker menu, GeoSWAM Pan, GeoSWAM Course Tune, key edge handling for the AUv3 plugin, strum response to panic, and Channel Pressure handling for conventional MIDI controllers that convert Poly Afertouch to Channel Pressure. |

The Decent Samples plugin is a sample player that allows you to use your favorite Decent Samples sample libraries on the go. Many of the most popular Decent Samples releases are available through the app with more being added every week.
| New version | 1.29.0 |
| Old version | 1.27.0 |
| Release Notes | Hear before you buy. Sample libraries in the store can now include demo tracks, so you can listen to what a library actually sounds like right inside Decent Sampler, before downloading anything. Find things faster. There's a new FILTER button in the library browser: narrow the list down to titles you already own, or browse everything from a single publisher. Free trials, tidied up. A library that offers a free trial now appears as one listing with a toggle between the trial and the full version, instead of two separate entries competing for space. A better-behaved keyboard. The on-screen keyboard now takes keyswitches and MIDI note ranges into account when it decides where to center itself, so it lands somewhere sensible more often. For preset builders: - Bindings can target individual samples and oscillators by tag, not just whole groups - Button state bindings work with tags too, not only control indexes - New GLIDE_MODE binding, so you can switch glide between off, always and legato from your own interface - New centerNote attribute on the keyboard element, to override auto-centering yourself - New customSkinHoverImage for custom-skin knobs - Knobs now honor disabledOpacity, matching how buttons already behaved Fixes: - A binding aimed at a group tag only affected the first matching group. It now updates every one of them. - Typing values directly into controls works properly again |

MIDI Tape Recorder is an open source Audio Unit v3 plugin with a radically different approach towards MIDI recording.
| New version | 2.0.0 |
| Old version | 1.0.8 |
| Release Notes | • New: MIDI Tape Recorder as a standalone app. No host required: record, overdub, and play back MIDI right on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, with CoreMIDI input and output routing to your other apps and hardware. Recording keeps running in the background and with the screen locked. • Sessions and documents. Your work is autosaved, and you can save, open, and share .mtrec session files. • New: continuous loop record. An opt-in option that keeps the loop rolling and re-records over your take on each pass instead of stopping at the end, refine a part without ever breaking your flow. • Hardened MIDI file import: malformed .mid files can no longer cause out-of-bounds reads or event desync. • Importing an empty (note-less) track now correctly clears the destination track. • Fixed loop record acting on stale state after an undo or import. • Fixed MIDI capture pausing when the screen locks. • iOS 26 fixes: the About-window links (website, rating, donate) open again, and various stability improvements. |
