Fernando Morales has updated Piano Motifs with some cool new features and a couple fixes, currently available for $3.99 with optional in-app purchases that unlock MIDI out, AUv3 support and a tip jar.
What’s new in version 4.37:
- New Serendipity w/Bass Accomp Style
- New Append Mode – When this mode is On, motifs will be appended to form an Arrangement as you generate new ones. When you press Next after you have generated a new motif, you will have the ability to append or not the newly generated motif. At any time, you can go to the Arrangement Screen to make any edits you want to the Arrangement.
- Improved melody algorithm for userDefined, pentatonic and tonic Melody Constraints.
- Improved arpeggio generating algorithm for when time signature is 3/4 or 6/8.
- Added new melody types for randomly generated motifs to improve variety in melody generation.
- Added new accompaniments to the Chord & Bass Acoomp Style.
- Fixed issue with accomp octave shift stepper incrementing +2 in some cases.
- Fixed issue where Settings red light indicator was not On when random scales are been constrained.
- Fixed 3rd Track generation when Multibar Sustain and Even Slow Arpeggio Accomp Style are used.
- Fixed issue in AUv3 plug-in where when the app is in Sync Mode, if you went from the Arrangement Screen to the Main Screen the Arrangement would start playing immediately in some cases.
