New version 5.11.0
Old version 5.10.0
Release Notes New! - To make it easier to change sounds/FX used in a mix we've added a 'Presets' button in the ISE Network Editor. This opens a Preset selector screen where you can select sound and FX presets (there are lots to choose from) and also save ones you have created or edited; it's easy to change the level of a preset, too; just change the level of the amp unit at the end of it Improved - Modified to enumerate all named MIDI devices (i.e. not just “Core MIDI”); you will now see all listed separately, e.g. “Network MIDI Session 1” or similar - Settings: renamed “Devices” to “Output Devices” and “Input Devices” - Revised section header text colour in dark mode for better contrast - Added Tuning Mode option to Settings (useful for external modular synths) Fixed - Removed potential sending of unnecessary cluster of Note Off events at app start, as this seems to resolve problems with some 3rd party MIDI devices which could crash - DSynth Osc 1 and 2 Decay level sliders did not work properly - Intermittent crash while editing junction inputs/parameters - Issue where display didn’t update properly when deleting the last unit - Other bug fixes If you have any feedback, comments or discover any problems we'd love to hear from you at support@intermorphic.com
