Fernando Morales has released a maintenance update for Piano Motifs with new additions and fixes, currently available for only $3.99 with optional in-app purchases that unlock MIDI out, AUv3 support and a tip jar.
What’s new in version 4.48:
- New Melody Rest Every N Bars Setting. Use this setting to force the melody to have a rest (silence bar) every 2, 4 or 8 bars. When you select the value of 2 (Rest Every 2 Bars) you have the option for the melody to rest either on the Even or on the Odd bars.
- New Chord option in the User Defined Melody Constraint. This option allows you to select a set of notes that are to be played on a motif. Instead of the notes being the notes of the scale of the motif (Tonic, the default for this constraint) they will be the corresponding notes of the chord being played on a bar
- Fixed issue where Accomp Mutes weren’t being applied when loading an AUv3 session.
- Fixed issue where in some cases the Accomp Rest Every N Bars wasn’t correct.
