Xequence is a MIDI sequencer, editor, arranger & controller for iPhone & iPad.
| New version | 2.2.5 |
| Old version | 2.2.4 |
| Release Notes | NEW: - BETTER TEMPO AND TIME SIGNATURE HANDLING: The "beat unit" can now be set manually in the tempo menu (this can change the metre of the song). For example, for 6/8 time, it can be set to "1/4 dotted" to provide the correct tempo. It is also taken into account for tempo received from Ableton Link peers, so it could be used to "process" that tempo (for example, halve or double it). - IMPROVED METRONOME and GRID HANDLING for compound time signatures. - NEW SWING ENGINE: The length of the swing (defaults to 8th note) can now be set, independently per track, and non-destructively as usual. - Added Drum Map for Fractal Bits. IMPROVEMENTS: - Arranger: Make "Controllers to own tracks" also work for clips without note data. - Ruler: The ruler will now show subdivisions (upper number of time signature) as dots. - Keyboard: Fixed and much more robust scrolling behaviour, both keyboards can be scrolled independently even while playing chords. - The tempo menu button will now show a "/2" symbol when the "1/2 speed" toggle (now with a cute snail icon!) is enabled. - The upper and lower number of the time signature can now be tapped to directly enter a value. - Various optimizations. FIXES: - Xequence projects (.xeqproj) can again be opened in Xequence via "Open In" / share sheets. - Keyboard: Prevent iOS "Copy/Paste" menu from popping up when playing chords in "Scroll" mode. - Prevent dragging loop region handles during recording. - Some modifications to the project weren't always registered and the "Save" button would still be greyed out. Fixed. MISCELLANEOUS: - Every Xequence release from now on will be named after a small Irish town or village that is totally unknown, but beautiful or in some way relevant nonetheless! |

| New version | 1.60 |
| Old version | 1.51 |
| Release Notes | This is the biggest miRack update yet! =MODULES= * NYSTHI - a collection of 100+ modules. Advanced samplers and recorders, oscillators, effects, utilities and a scope - modules for every need, many of which have visual design you won't find anywhere else. * Geodesics - unique modules loosely inspired by astronomic events and physical theories. "The goal is just to see how science can inspire us to create new music." * Turning Machine by Stellare Modular - a random looping sequencer, based on the amazing Music Thing's Turing Machine Eurorack module by Tom Whitwell. * 13 new MSM modules - many of them add interesting new outputs, parameters and modes to standard modules. * Notes (found in the end of Basics list) - add short notes to a patch. It's resizable so can also be used as a spacer between other modules. * cf PLAY and PLAYER samplers - these are simple modules when you don't need advanced functionality. =APP FEATURES= * Added virtual MIDI port option to MIDI modules to simplify MIDI routing into miRack. * Added indication when a module is being or ready to be moved, e.g. after touching and holding for long enough. * More predictable module moving, smoother zooming, and other improvements to touch handling. * Improved rendering of module lights (borders, antialiasing). * Reorganised items in module menus to reduce vertical space they take and to prevent destructive items to be touched accidentally. * Module menus (and context menus for module components that provide them) can be shown with double tap in addition to two-finger touch. =FIXES= * Fixed parameter value smoothing (when adjusting knobs), removes audio artefacts in some cases when adjusting knobs. * Fixed Delete menu item missing for "placeholder" modules (when VCV Rack patches are opened and some modules are not available in miRack). * Fixed wrong module sometimes being added to the rack after double tapping empty space in module browser. |
