2.4.3
2021-03-03
2.4.3---
• Better iOS14 compatibility
• Fixes random crash on startup
2.4.2---
• Fixes crash on startup when you select the wrong voltage
2.4.1 ---
• Better iOS 13 compatibility
• Replaces the obsolete channel volume setting with a mixer output setting (for some external audio devices that were saturating)
2.4 ----
New Features
* Use Audiobus to connect, map and route MIDI inputs and outputs from physical devices and other apps, including individual inputs for each channel card synth as well as one for Page R MMC (start/stop control)
* The on-screen keyboard now shows which voice it will play, and automatically mirrors the first instrument channel when an instrument is selected
* New settings to control how external MIDI events are routed to the selected voice and Page R recording
* The selected voice now has its own MIDI channel, so you now have a 9-channel synthesiser
* Page 2 instrument voices now list their assigned MIDI channel number
* Page S (Sampler) tightened timing on recording start-- no longer records the last beep
* Improvements in iOS 12 and future compatibility
Bug Fixes
* fixes an occasional crash with MIDI in, especially in Page R
* fixes a crash in iOS 12 on phones when moving from Page 3 to Page R
* fixes the missing music keyboard in Page R on some phones
* fixes the crash when using the very quirky “MIDI by turns” setting
* fixes loss of audio after phone call interruption
* fixes the newsletter subscription process in the settings
* fixes audio shutdown and buzzing noise in background when Audiobus is connected and the "background audio" setting is off
NOTE: although this app appears as a source and destination for Inter App Audio, it is not configured to do so. Use Audiobus to route audio to and from apps that need IAA.

2.3.2
2017-09-24
Minor compatibility release
2.3.1
2017-01-25
Version 2.3.1:
• Fixes a bug where built-in voices did not play in Page R or preview if they were not loaded in the Voice screen previously
Version 2.3:
IMPROVEMENTS
• A new MIDI engine allows connection via the most common Virtual MIDI protocol - OMAC/MidiBus
• Tapping the on-screen keyboard's MIDI display brings up a MIDI control panel that allows you to turn on and off all the physical and virtual MIDI inputs, and allows you to connect to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE MIDI) devices.
• Now responds to a few MIDI continuous controllers:
• modulation wheel input: controls vibrato (LFO)
• controller 7: main amplifier gain
• controller 10: pan
Please let us know what other controllers you want, doing what.
• Now responds to MIDI MMC messages if a song has been loaded in Page R:
• START: starts playing the song from the beginning
• STOP: pauses song playback
• CONTINUE: continues playing from where it paused
• note that although MMC messages are processed, CLOCK IN is not used. The CMI app can not yet synch to an external clock source.
• Experimental - sends MIDI MMC messages if a song has been loaded in Page R:
• START: when the song starts playing from the beginning
• STOP: when the song pauses song playback
• CONTINUE: when the song continues playing from where it paused
• CLOCK: (yes, much requested) a standard MIDI 24-ticks-per-quarter-note clock is output while the song is playing.
Please let us know how Clock Out works for you.
• Allows audio output via Bluetooth
BUG FIXES
• Fixes the Page R invisible music keyboard on smaller iPhones
• Fixes a bug where newly inserted notes in Page R sometimes did not play
• Fixes edited waveform not playing sometimes; displays warning if edited waveform is not saved
• Fixes the inability to connect as an IAA input for apps such as Auria
• Fixes the MIDI pitch wheel input, which was getting stuck at a semitone low.
• The CMI app is now once again visible in MidiBridge, so it can receive MIDI from non-Core-Midi devices not directly supported by the CMI app.
• Fixes the crunchy sound on the startup song.
• Avoids the iOS bug that broke the left keys on the iPhone on-screen music keyboard. NOTE: disables swipe-to-go-back. Let us know if this is a problem for you.

• For those rare app crashes, it now automatically submits crash logs to us - with your permission.
