New features:
Toggle between Hard or Soft hammer sound by touching on the "Hard" or "Soft" label on the upper left corner of the screen.
There's a new control, "Soft Hammer Filter" on the control page:
- Using the "Soft Hammer Filter" control, choose between equalization of the soft hammer sounds for best sound through the iPad speaker or through headphones. The "iPad" setting optimizes the soft hammer equalization for playback through the iPad speaker. The "Headphones" setting optimizes the soft hammer sound equalization for headphones or for use when connected to an amplifier through the headphone jack. The "Headphones" setting allows more of the low frequency content of the sound to pass through for best quality.
Moved the note labels on/off control to the settings page.

Trapezoid now supports both Standard and Michigan (octave) tuning. Switch between the turnings on the settings screen.
The app now supports traditional "drag rolls" technique. Drag rolls are performed by quickly dragging your finger quickly across the string horizontally. The can be enabled or disabled on the settings screen, when you can also adjust the sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the shorter distance you need to move your finger to get the effect.
You may now choose between Traditional or "StrikeZones" instrument styles.
The new "StrikeZones" instrument style shows you exactly where to touch on the screen for each note. The zones light up when touched. It is an excellent tool for understanding or teaching the layout of the instrument.
New improved graphics.
As suggested, replaced the C5 at the top of the Bass bridge with a D#5.
