- Sample Editor:
- Now you can zoom the sample using only one finger (swiping/dragging along the vertical axis).
- Launchpads:
- Added new setting to allow user to set up the Pad Mode on the LP directly from the GR-2 interface on iPad. In case you need this, go and enable Settings -> Launchpad -> “Set mode from UI” option.
- Visual:
- Added a matte (blur) background effect on the Selector window, Settings window and popup menus. Can be switched off from the Settings -> General -> System -> Transparency FX;
- Added dark mode and tinted mode app icon.
- Misc:
- Added a small diagnostics tool in the Settings -> General -> Diagnostics, to check GR-2 internal sample cache. Allows to find out if some samples are missing due to system crashes or errors, as well as to cleanup unused cache that is holding disk space without a reason;
- Added a detection of the infinite clipping output from the buggy AUv3’s, which sometimes can occur and cause the whole app to stop producing any sound. Now, if the glitch will be detected, the audio unit that caused it will be automatically deactivated, not interrupting the playback;
- Fixed bug with SF2 player synth, when setting its Poly parameter to 2, 3 or 4 allowed to play one voice only;
- Other minor bug fixes.
