Fixed issue with MIDI Controllers that send Note-On events with velocity zero instead of sending Note-Off events.
1.4.3
2018-06-09
Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
1.4.2
2018-06-08
Expanded GHB-G remapping to the second octave for the Uilleann instrument. GHB-A, since it does scale compression, remains at one octave.
Optional support for MIDI Pitch Bend. Pitch bend response is based on a two semitone maximum bend range.
You may enable Chromatic to GHB scale mapping using the Chromatic Map control.
When the Chromatic Map is set to "Off", the app passes the notes directly through with no remapping for chanters that do the GHB fingering mapping in the device.
When the Chromatic Map is set to "GHB-G" or "GHB-A", the app will remap the incoming chromatic scale notes to the GHB scale so that GHB fingerings can be used on a Chromatic chanter.
"GHB-G" is for chromatic chanters where the bottom note is assumed to be the leading G tone.
"GHB-A" is for chromatic chanters where there is no leading tone and the bottom note is the A tone.
Bug fixes and performance improvements.

When the Chromatic Map is set to "GHB", the app will remap the incoming chromatic scale notes to the GHB scale so that GHB fingerings can be used on a Chromatic chanter.
If the instrument is set to Uilleann and the Chromatic Map is set to "GHB", the range will the same as the GHB, i.e. one octave plus the bottom G.
