  Version 3.0.8

  Overall improvements

  • Song position readout, in the transport bar, can be switched between BAR:BEATS, MM:SS.MS and SMPTE, simply by pressing it.
  • Support of MIDI knob increment/decrement (“infinite” encoders), via MIDI RPN/NRPN. This also extend the range of MIDI CC’s to 32766.

  • Load an AUv3 MIDI plugin on a pad (or more!)
  • Create a new bank, load an instrument or plugin, preferably in KEYS mode.
  • Enter the new bank MIDI Setup panel by long-pressing the bank above the pads or by pressing “•••” on the right of the bank name on the left screen.
  • Connect the MIDI input port to the virtual AUv3 MIDI device that BM3 has created for the app.
  • Added a ruler button on the full-screen sample editor to switch the time reference of the bottom grid between seconds, samples and bars/beats.

  • Improvements on the “Zero Snap” tool: adapt scan size to the currently visible range and find the closest zero-cross against all channels.
  • Sample editor zoom in/out is now behaving more naturally.
  • Sample editor move < and > buttons will now behave more naturally.

  • “Grid Snap” can now be used in Slices mode in the sample/slice editor.
  • Long press on [-] and [+] on the sample editor will resp. fully zoom out or in.

  Sequencer

  • Added a setting for the transport stop behavior: it can either go back to the start of the track, or on the latest position (by pressing the bar / position in SONG mode).

  Bug fixes & engine improvements

  • When drag’n’dropping a sample onto the mapping editor, follow the browser load method.

  Version 3.0.6

  Overall improvements

  • Improved handling of iOS11+ gestures that could conflict with some UI elements (editor keys, sample editor, pattern editor key roll, etc.).
  • It is now possible to create new audio & aux tracks directly from the Perform screen.
  • Added a new MIDI routing option (in the MIDI Setup panel of banks), to set a Bank either in “Single Channel Mode” or “Multi Channel Mode”. In “Single Channel Mode”, the incoming MIDI note is used to route the message to the matching pad: for example, C3 (note 60) will trigger pad 60. In “Multi Channel Mode”, the incoming MIDI channel is used to route the message to the matching pad: for example, a message on MIDI channel 12 will trigger pad 12.
  • The small pads on the editor will light up when receiving note events.
  • Banks will be set to “Single Channel” mode by default, listening on Channel 1. This way, you only need to configure an input MIDI device for the bank. If you set the Bank in KEYS mode, you can quickly and easily play melodic instruments with minimal configuration.

  Navigation & Browsing

  • In the library browser, group sessions/banks/samples that have a similar names. This way, duplicates are grouped into one single entry, make listing easier to browse. These multiple entries can be “entered”, showing their exact location on the filesystem.

  Sampler & Plugins

  • When loading new samples, it is now possible to add them to an existing layer. See the “Load Method’ option at the bottom of the browser toolbar.
  • In Perform “MUTE” mode, muting pads will properly send “Note off” messages to the sampler or plugins.
  • When loading an AUv3 or IAA plugin on an empty Bank, automatically enable KEYS mode.
  • Double tapping the transport Stop button will also send “All Notes Off” and “Note off”s to AUv3 / IAA plugins.

  Sequencer

  • Improved grid contrast in pattern editor.
  • Improved white keys lane contrast in pattern editor.
  • “Note off” messages will pass through even when MIDI is muted, so no notes get stuck.
  • The “MIDI Panic” button in the Settings/MIDI tab will also send “Note off”s to every keys on all 16 MIDI channels.

  Bug fixes & engine improvements

  • When drag’n’dropping a sample, either from the sampler or from Files.app, make sure “Disk Streaming: is automatically turned on for large samples.
  • Fixed an issue where plugins loaded on pad 17 to 128 would receive bogus MIDI data.
  • Fixed an issue where drag'n’dropping a file from the browser and back onto it would corrupt the file.
  • Fixed a bug where deleting a bank would render banks ordering and selection unreliable.
  • Fixed an issue where “Open In…” samples from Audio Share would not import anything.
  • Fixed a crash that would happen while dropping a pattern from the track helper onto the pattern editor.
  • Fixed a crash that would happen when drag’n’dropping a MIDI file on the pattern editor.
  • Fixed a bug where multiple negative length patterns would be created.
