Laurent Colson has updated StepPolyArp, currently available for $19.99.
What’s new in version 6.0:
- Pattern playback can proceed automatically to the next pattern, to a specific pattern, or even to a random pattern
- A pattern can be defined as the default pattern for each playback restart
- The loop count for chaining to another pattern increments only after all the pattern’s lines have been fully read at least once
- Redesigned preset selector with support for In-App Purchase packs
- Two new preset packs available as In-App Purchases: Analog Sequence and Dance Horizons. Each includes 6 free demo presets.
- Reordering the lines no longer causes synchronization issues between the lines during playback
- The pattern player has been revised to fix issues with automatic sequencing that could in some cases, cause a step to be skipped
- Minor bugs fixed
