FIXES: - Fixed layout glitches on iPhone X. - MIDI Export: Fixed track delay not being taken into account when exporting Program Changes. - Fixed a rare problem where settings wouldn't be saved when exiting the app. - Fixed a rare crash when holding a drum pad for dragging and then immediately letting go again. - Fixed a problem where recorded controller events could be time-shifted during loop recording. - Fix missing redraw for grids when changing time signature. - Fix minor redraw glitch on iOS 12 when scrolling the pianoroll editor with PolyHymnia dialog open. - Fix wrong instrument colors in pianoroll editor immediately after switching theme. - Removed "Send to LOOP" button. |
