You can then load those sounds from the Set with a single tap in future. To learn about the intricacies of the Sound Picker, be sure to check out the What's New section in PolyNome's Help page. PLAYLIST MANAGER --- - When selecting multiple items, if they have a known practice time, the total practice time will be displayed in the navigation bar. Useful when choosing playlists to work on in a practice session. PLAYLISTS --- - Pop-up playlist controls buttons when you scroll a Playlist provide quick access to settings. - You can now tap on the Playlist name and set the same sounds for the entire Playlist in one go!

Some of the additions are: Tempo Settings - Decimal Tempo option in Tempo Settings - AutoSave Tempo Changes in Tempo Settings Demo Presets/Playlists Settings - Disable auto install of Demo Presets with App Updates - Re-install the latest demos (in case you deleted them, or had auto update off) Big Numbers Colors - In the Big Numbers Colors page, tap either the background, big number, or details text to set and save the color you desire EDIT PATTERN PAGE --- - At the top of the picker on the left you'll see a bar line "|". Selecting this will give you options for filling the bar, no matter what the time signature. Great for quick creation of gap clicks - Split Notes option when editing a note group now applies to any rate. EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS --- - On iPhone, double tap on a Preset or Playlist item to be taken back to the metronome screen - You can now link the Line1 and Line2 faders in the mixer for quick muting of a Sequencer If you read this far, thank you for taking an interest in the new features.
