Mario Nieto has updated the desktop version of Harmony Bloom, the iOS update will follow. The desktop version is currently available for €29.00, the iOS version for €9.99. The update is available as a free download to existing users.
What’s new in version 1.2.5:
- NEW: Now in the plugin version, Trigger Bars can be mapped to be sent through different independent MIDI channels. Additionally, it is possible to select the octave for each trigger bar independently. IMPORTANT NOTE: Not all DAWs can handle internal multi-channel MIDI routing. For instance, Ableton cannot do this on Desktop, as it is a limitation imposed by the DAW itself. The same applies to some DAWs for iPadOS, so depending on the DAW you use, multi-channel sending internally may not be possible.
- NEW: Bypass. When active, all incoming MIDI signals pass through Harmony Bloom unaffected, effectively bypassing its processing. It’s equivalent to disabling the plugin.
- NEW: Added new Custom Colors for Dots. Customize the appearance of dots (notes on the spiral) with your choice of colors, enhancing visual feedback and personalizing your user experience.
- NEW: The header colors now match the selected colors.
- NEW: Now the presets can be exported one by one.
- Change of direction and position of the arrows for changing presets to have better control.
- Now, various playback controls, like the midi keyboard mode, have the option active to maintain the state through preset changes by default.
- UI Changes and corrections.
- FIXED: MIDI mappings for the trigger bars were not working correctly.
- FIXED: Fixed issue with correct loading using factory presets, quantize offset was loaded a value below the original.
