Xequence is an advanced linear MIDI Sequencer and Keyboard / Controller for iPhone and iPad.
| New version | 1.9 |
| Old version | 1.8.2 |
| Release Notes | Xequence is back yet again, bringing you another EPIC release only WEEKS after the MASSIVE Audiobus update! MULTI-TRACK RECORDING! (In-App Purchase) - Record from multiple MIDI sources (apps, hardware sequencers, arpeggiators, Audiobus inputs etc.) simultaneously onto separate tracks! - Fully automatic: All sources that are enabled in "Settings -> MIDI / Recording" will be detected during recording and tracks will be added by Xequence as needed. You don't need to do anything! - Automatic separation by MIDI source AND channel! Record 4 separate playheads from Fugue Machine at once onto 4 separate tracks, and the arpeggio from StepPolyArp on another! - Recorded parts are automatically named by source and channel. - Each arranger track now has settings for the recording source, which are automatically populated during recording, but can also be configured manually. - Existing tracks will automatically be re-used in the next recording. - Multi-Track Recording can be enabled or disabled with a single tap in the top toolbar. When disabled, all incoming MIDI is merged as usual onto the selected track. NEW: - File manager: FOLDERS and SUBFOLDERS for organizing projects and MIDI files. All your existing files will be organized into folders automatically on first launch. - Arranger: Full support for BANK SELECT, including MSB, LSB, or combined entry. - MIDI Import / Export: Support for Bank Select. - Drums: Added many more FACTORY DRUM MAPS. - Recording: New toggle "Record during Count-In" in MIDI / Recording. Xequence has always recorded notes and controllers during count-in. However, now you can disable this option if you would like to discard any events received during count-in (especially suitable for Multitrack Recording). IMPROVEMENTS: - Arranger & Pianoroll: LIVE PREVIEW OF RECORDED NOTES AND CONTROLLERS during recording, even in Multitrack recording! - File manager: Files and folders can now be double-tapped to open. - Offline sources and destinations are now marked with an exclamation sign instead of the text "Offline". - New, sophisticated handling of application errors: In the extremely rare event of an internal application error, Xequence will now ask you if you would like to try to continue using the app, or quit and restart. - More accurate timing for events recorded from the internal keyboard / controller. - Significantly smoother zooming / scrolling in arranger. - Various user interface improvements. - Various optimizations. MISCELLANEOUS: - Xequence project files now have the official file extension ".xeqproj" (was: ".xeq"). All your existing projects will be automatically renamed. .xeq files are still recognized as well. - When loading MIDI files, the "Import finished" dialog is now shown only once. 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. |

| New version | 1.6.3 |

In previous update (1.6.2): - User patterns bank is now subdivided into several sub-banks (4 x 64 by default), for easier pattern navigation. You can change the subdivide factor from the Settings menu -> User sub-banks parameter; - now you can hold "Part ->" or "<- Part" button and tap a Pad, to instantly select desired Part; - crash bug fixed, when trying to use "Delete All User Patterns" utility; also when importing previously saved user bank from .bank.gr16 file; - now tapping a Pad will not switch off the Shift Lock. It can be useful when tweaking knobs with Shift Lock On, while hitting Pads to hear the effect. |

It can be useful when tweaking knobs with Shift Lock On, while hitting Pads to hear the effect; In previous big update (1.6.0): - maximum pattern length raised to 8 bars; - introducing Wavetable Synthesis. You can load a wavetable, and control its wavetable position parameter (can be modulated) and the pulse width (can be automated); - introducing In-App purchases.

Now available from within the app; - 80 new one-shot samples added to the built-in sample library for FREE! - 4 new instruments added; - 45 built-in wavetables added! Select them by tapping Oscillator's "Wave" button and then browsing inside the "Wave" folder. Note, that user wavetables will be placed at the top of the list inside this folder; - you can import your own wavetable files (Serum wav format is currently supported) by placing these files into the "Wave" folder inside Groove Rider's documents folder, or by using "Open In..." dialog from other locations; - 14 new part sound presets added to the Bank A presets. They're all based on built-in wavetables, and have a prefix "WT"; - new Bar selector with 2 buttons: plus and minus. Old 4-buttons selector is still available (switchable from Settings menu), but it will not be able to access more than 4 bars; - Part Mutes events now can work in Sync to the Beat, Bar or Pattern. This is selectable from the Settings menu - Mute Mode, but it is Off by default. Very useful when performing live; - Shift "Lock" feature added, allows to temporarily lock the Shift button in pressed state. To activate, hold down the Shift button and swipe up or down for some distance. Deactivated by tapping anything, that is not a knob; - 2 new Utilities added: "Clone Bar" and "Clone Pattern Bar". First one to distribute (copy) currently selected bar along all the other bars in the current Part. Second one to distribute (copy) the whole current bar (affecting all 16 parts) into the other bars; - Utilities folder is rearranged to put the most important functions to the top; - new Copy/Paste function: you can now copy and paste the whole Mixer state (all part levels, pans, send fx amounts and also master volume) from one pattern to another. Just select "Paste Mixer" from the popup menu upon paste; - Midi CC output is added, allowing you to send all knobs movements to the Midi Out. It is Off by default, please activate it from Settings menu if needed; - you can now see the names of Osc Edit 1 & 2 parameters for the Oscillator type sounds, written as captions under the Osc Edit 1 & 2 knobs; - new main display Animation mode available: Channels + Oscillogram; - new "Loop" button instead of "Tap" button! You can now loop one bar (or several bars, holding it down during playback). If you wish, you can revert back the old Tap button from the Settings menu; - now, when turning on the velocity pad mode for a Part, the TouchPad in Scale mode will reflect the velocity along its Y axis; - improved UI: tables (lists of files, oscillators etc) were optimized to open faster on slower devices; - improved: more space for scrollable lists and menus on a display by temporarily moving away the bottom screen bar; - fixed: part level indicators sometimes worked incorrectly; - fixed: when sample start parameter is not zero, sometimes it caused a click; - minimal fixes in the "Catch" knob midi mode. |

Syntorial is a synthesizer training app, that will teach you how to program synth patches by ear.
| New version | 1.6.503 |
| Old version | 1.6.402 |
| Release Notes | - The last version was crashing in iOS 12. This version isn't. #magic - Removed IAA and Audiobus support. Don't be mad! We'll be releasing a new app called "Primer" very soon, which will be the exact same synth used in Syntorial. Except this puppy will also be an App Extension, which you can open in Audiobus, Garageband, and any other App Extension-compatible app. Trust us when we say this is better, as you'll be able to open up unlimited Primers in one session, as opposed to being limited to just one Syntorial. That's why you shouldn't be mad. #behappy |
