v1.42 165 - Release Candidate

Improved look of Chord Definition dialog, with better controller naming. You can now select a 4Pockets App and you will be prompted with the parameters that can be controlled for that app.


Added support for RingsFX controllers in chord track (require Rings update).

Better selection of overlapping song and chord parts.

Improved 'Notes to Chords' which quantises note start positions to ensure minor shifts in notes are permitted. However it will only convery block chords.

Fixed the issue where the Edit icon in the controller lane ends up with the 'Add Chords' label.

Long pressing on a chord/song part within the size area now still opens the Chord Definition dialog.

Deep Copy/Paste now work with the chord track. When pasting a single channel only the LOCAL chord track is pasted, when pasting all tracks the GLOBAL chord track is also pasted.

NOTE: Long press the main Clipboard COPY button to create a DEEP copy, and long press the PASTE button to paste a DEEP copy. This is different from a normal copy/paste which only copies the notes. A DEEP copy copies controllers and chords.

Added the ability to plot a chord track as a ghost track in the editor (for debug purposes).

Fixed an issue where controller only packets were processing incorrectly when outputting Notes and not Tone Packets.

I now send chord track controllers 1 & 2, even if not sending Tone Packets.

Renamed the output Bus to Port in track options.

v1.40 159 - Release Candidate

You can now create GLOBAL and LOCAL chord tracks and tell each track which to follow.

You can LONG press the 'Track' button to set the 'Chord Follow' to GLOBAL/LOCAL, and to set the 'Msg Type' to TONE PKT/NOTES.

Re-worked the 'Chord Track Options' submenu and added more configuration options.

NOTE: Any tracks can now send either Note On/Off or Tone Packets using the LOCAL or GLOBAL chord tracks, while the master (Control Out port) can only send Tone Packets using the GLOBAL chord track.

Added the ability to drop MIDI clips (from the Media Bay) directly into the chord track and generate chord sequences. These might not be labled exactly as the original since any chord can have multiple names.

You can now LONG press on the Add Chord button and choose 'Convert Selected Notes to Chords'. This replaces selected notes within the editor to chords in the chord track.

You can also drag selected chords into any position within the chord track by LONG pressing CLIPBOARD and dragging into the chord track. This creates a MIDI file of the selected notes which can be dragged to other apps such as the Files App or now into the chord track.

Made the Media Bay slightly wider to allow more room and moved the close button inside its boundary.

Added a new video to the help which explains the difference between local and global chord tracks.

The default setup on installation is now 16 MIDI ports (not 4).

When creating a new session the ports are now assigned incrementally to tracks (not always Bus 1).

In the Chord Definition dialog, if a CM chord is mofified it says its 'CM (modified)'.

When editing a chord notes, if you change the notes back to default for the selected chord it will change type from Cluster to Chord.

A chord set to Controllers has a new look when rendered.

Added an option to send SysEx Controller Packets from the Chord Definitions dialog. These are not Tone Packets but their own entity with differing Manufacturer ID. To see these additional options press the Expand button in the upper right corner. These options are intended to do things like specify Strum Styles in MIDI Strummer select or Drum Patterns in DigiStix 2. These apps need updating to take advantage of this feature.

Modified the Track selection menu to display an astrix (*) next to the track IF that track is following a chord track.

I now display the global chord track ON/OFF status in the chord lane.

Added the ability to turn the global status ON/OFF from the chord track popup menu selecter.

Fixed an issue with sticking selection in the Chord Track which didn't dissapear when the finger was lifted.

Fixed an issue not being able to position the cursor in the chord tracks ruler when Sync is enabled.

Fixed a MAJOR issue with sending cluster packets. Please test again.

Fixed the LONG press on the Select button in the chord track. It now shows the correct menu for the chord track.

Added an option to configure and enable the Chord lane for a track (long press Track button).

Added the 1/16 and 1/32 grid lines when zoomed, and made high contrast grid the default.
Added an about box with version number to main menu.
Fixed an issue where long pressing on some toolbar buttons would leave the button highlighted.
I now only adjust the loop boundaries after you finish setting a loop. This means resizing or moving a loop only repositions the play cursor once and not continually when dragging a loop. If a loop changes in size or position (during host sync) the play position has to change accordingly, but this only happens after you set the loop.
The mixer now retains its position between opening and closing during as session.
The mixer now cannot be accidentally dragged by clicking on or between the mute/solo/fader objects.

Fixed the grammatical error on the 'Explicit Timestamps' prompt.
When editing in the controller lane, and in selection mode, the TOP half of the controller lane now allow selection only, the bottom half allows editing.
