Following the recent desktop update, Mario Nieto has now updated the iOS version of Harmony Bloom, currently available for $9.99.
What’s new in version 1.2.8:
- NEW – Advanced Quantization Settings:** Control note spacing with quantized adjustments for F.Offset, E.Offset, and G.Offset, ensuring sequences align perfectly with your project grid.
- NEW – individual ‘Toggle Random Octave Mode’** : controls for each bar in the sequencer: When activated, this mode enables each note triggered by the bar to be played in a randomly selected octave. This feature allows for intricate pitch variations and adds an element of unpredictability to each segment of your musical compositions.
- NEW – Octave controls by trigger bar** now feature the option to be included within the random octave trigger. For example, we can activate the 0 and 12 options in the octave controls, so whenever we have a random trigger, it will only select either 0 or 12, excluding the rest of the options.
- NEW – Auto Fit Window: On very rare occasions, users may experience issues with the window size. To address this, I have added a button in the settings window that resets the window size and sets the limits on how large or small the window can be resized, based on the monitor it is displayed on.
- FIXED: Improved precision in automation of large values. Previously, some values lost precision due to rounding during automation in a DAW. This fix enhances fine-tuning capabilities, ensuring maximum accuracy when adjusting parameters through automation.
