Bremmers Audio Design has released version 4.8 of MultitrackStudio for iPad.
New in version 4.8:
- The MIDI 2.0 resolutions (16-bits for velocity, 32-bits for controllers etc.) are now preserved in MIDI files used in tracks. The high resolutions do not appear in exported MIDI files. NRPN parameters are used for this, similar to how MultitrackStudio stores per-note controllers in MIDI 1.0 files.
- MIDI values that are 7 bits in MIDI 1.0 are now displayed with one decimal place, unless the decimal is zero (60.9, 61, 61.1 etc.). This applies to note velocities, controller values, aftertouch etc. The controller editor's Dot Editor accepts values like 60.9.
- MIDI 2.0: the new RPN 7 (per-note pitchbend sensitivity) is sent to MIDI Out Device and AU plugins that support the MIDI 2.0 protocol.
- AU plugins: MIDI output can be MIDI 2.0 (requires iPadOS 16).
- Matrix Sampler supports pan MIDI controller and per-note aftertouch ('poly aftertouch'). Also supports MIDI 2.0 per-note volume, pan and expression.
- MIDI Controller editor: the controller selector menu now lists the controllers that are actually supported by the track's current MIDI instrument. This isn't possible for External MIDI Instruments and plugins, some widely supported controllers appear instead for those. The 'Other' submenu is now 'All', and contains all controllers.
- Note Velocity editor indicates which note you're pressing immediately, so you can see it without having to wait for the mode selector to pop up.
- Note Velocity editor now tries to keep the vertical bars within the measure the note's in. The vertical bars will be narrower for measures with many notes. This works better, especially with Pencil or mouse.
- MIDI controller editor / Automated Fader / Automation editor (Pro Extension) 'draw' mode: the first bit you draw is now predictably smooth.
- Multi MIDI Editor: the score view now has a System Spacing setting (tap a clef on the left to access it). Also, the system spacing now takes the actual notes into account. As a result you can see more systems simultaneously.
- Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Matrix layout pads display note names. The names depend on the MIDI instrument that's responding to the keyboard. The Keyboard Mapper is taken into account.
- Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Slider menu controller names depend on the MIDI instrument that's responding to the keyboard. Controllers that are actually supported appear bold.
- Onscreen MIDI Keyboard: Presets and Layout menus now have icons.
- Keyboard Mapper can now convert incoming controllers to NRPN.
- PatchMap files can define names for MIDI channels. They appear in the External MIDI Instrument channel selector dropdown menu.
- External MIDI Instrument: swiping over the patch name box vertically increases/decreases the MIDI program number.
- Fixed: Clicking with mouse or Apple Pencil to unselect could accidentally select a dot in MIDI controller editor / Automated Fader / Automation editor (Pro Extension).
- Fixed: 'Import Song' could cause an error.
- Fixed: audio track editor could cause error for a stereo track if a mono audio playback device was used.
