Added additional single note regulator sounds to the Uilleann pipes instrument. The original note mapping for the drones and regulator pairs was not changed (to not break any existing devices or sequences that use them), added the single regulator notes with their own MIDI note mapping starting on C1 (36)
When playing the Uilleann Pipes instrument, the following special MIDI notes, starting on C1 (36) are used for the drone and regulator sounds:
Single regulator notes:
C1 (36) - Bass regulator G
C#1 (37) - Bass regulator A
D1 (38) - Bass regulator B
D#1 (39) - Bass regulator C
E1 (40) - Baritone regulator D
F1 (41) - Baritone regulator F#
F#1 (42) - Baritone regulator G
G1 (43) - Baritone regulator A
G#1 (44) - Tenor regulator F#
A1 (45) - Tenor regulator G
A#1 (46) - Tenor regulator A
B1 (47) - Tenor regulator B
C2 (48) - Tenor regulator C
Drones:
D2 (50) - Lynch Drones
D#2(51) - Crowley Drones
Regulator pairs:
E2 (52) - D/F# Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
F2 (53) - D/G Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
F#2 (54) - F#/A Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
G2 (55) - G/B Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
G#2 (56) - G/C Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
A2 (57) - A/C Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
Uilleann Pipes drones key triggers (D2 and D#2) are "latching" . The drones start on the first press of the trigger key, stop on the second.
The Uilleann Pipes chanter notes start at D3 (62) and go to D5 (86)

Improved response speed and sound quality improvements.
Added a "MIDI Transpose Semitones" control for use with MIDI hardware chanters and other controllers to shift the incoming MIDI stream to the required MIDI Note-On message range required by the app.
The app may now be used as an Audiobus 2 source module and is compatible with Audiobus 3.
Several audio quality related bug fixes related to pops/clicks on some devices when first playing.
Celtic Sounds is now a Universal iPhone/iPad app!
Improved visual interface on iPad and iPhone X, made the instrument and reverb selectors a bit taller.
Improved audio engine sound and performance.
Better handling of realtime volume control messages.
Use the "Transpose Semitones" slider to shift the entire instrument up or down up to one octave in semitone increments.
This setting shifts the pitch of the sounds but does not change the MIDI note numbers the app responds to.
Touch the number to the right of the "Transpose Semitones" slider to reset the transposition to zero semitones.
Now you can pick your reverb style from four options: Room, Hall1, Hall2, or Church.
Added volume and reverb level indicators.
If you have a MIDI "stuck note" touch the AppCordions logo to stop all sounds.
Added support for Uilleann Pipes Drones and Baritone Regulator pairs.
When playing the Uilleann instrument, the following special MIDI notes, starting starting on D2 (50) one octave below the lowest note on the chanter D3 (62), are used for the drone and regulator pair sounds:
D2 (50) - Lynch Drones
D#2(51) - Crowley Drones
E2 (52) - D/F# Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
F2 (53) - D/G Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
F#2 (54) - F#/A Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
G2 (55) - G/B Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
G#2 (56) - G/C Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
A2 (57) - A/C Baritone/Tenor Regulator Pair
