Release Notes * Added the Toneboosters MBC (multi-band compressor) effect: up to 10 bands with configurable cross-over steepness, two compressor curves per band, upward compression, downward compression, positive and negative saturation, and stereo width processing packed in a flexible and intuitive user interface. Yes, that is up to 20 compression curves to sculpt your tracks, busses and masters to perfection! * Updated to the latest Toneboosters code. * When trying to load an IAA FX while another one was attempting to be loaded in the background, the app could crash. Solved. * Selecting an unlabelled drum pad on a large iPad caused an exception message. Solved. * Solved an issue with merging overlapping MIDI clips. * When an effect is removed with the grid display turned off, the grid is now automatically turned on again. * When un-arming an instrument track during monitoring/playback while another track is armed, a sustain pedal 'off' command is sent. * When using count-in recording with a MIDI/instrument track, notes with a timestamp just before the start of the clip are now trimmed to the start such that they are not 'lost'. * Added an option 'All input's to the MIDI input dialog. * Opening the MIDI input dialog will not un-arm the track anymore. Furthermore, all options inside the dialog can be changed in real-time without having to close the dialog first. * When selecting 'New project from template' and the project is empty, no project name is asked initially anymore.
