Major Update for midiSequencer


iTunes: midiSequencer - anthony saunders

"What's New in Version 1.5
Major Enhancements:
Completely rewritten to use MidiBus library to get rock solid midi clock, messages and OMAC & enable future features (e.g. sysex & MTC).
Now have 4 optional & independant midi controllers per step.
Improved graphic performance on most controls & app switching (50% less CPU).
Device panel allowing individual device(network, virtual, midi interface or app) setting of active(on/off), midi clock(active) & latency.
Latency per interface from 0 to 1000ms for manual synchronisation control on external equipment and slow apps
File save/load/rename/delete of working bank = named file of 20 snapshots + user entered description
Skip buttons brings up moveable panel for easy changes during play
Introduced note conform to scales (chromatic, major & harmonic minor ascending) with enharmonic note names.
Increased gate% to 400 to allow extended note on (and therefore overlapping note play, longer/shorter ornaments etc)
Clock multipler - now shows all 4 options at once for multiples.
Ability to draw controls using swipe and instant place using double tap (both optional via settings).
Banks can be shared via email and managed externally via iTunes file sharing.

Minor Enhancements:
Clock multiplier keeps same (if possible) tempo - will clamp to max in range(0-255,0-510 in steps of 2, etc)
Performance rollout panel (invert key rotary and ornaments on/off & snapshot load)
Added new ornaments: Acciaccatura, 2 & 5 tuplets (so now have 1,2,3,4,5 repeated notes in one step interval possible).
Midi enabled & device rollout at launch (use Settings to disable this if you wish)
Randomise controls option to restrict to within current min/max range(i.e randomise between top & bottom control values shown)
Nudge Left & Right now rotate sequence even during play or delayed until cycle reset
Transition from NoteTime/StepTime during play virtually seamless.
Ornaments ignored if BPM>=200
Loop type now picked from list
Tempo set with slider and decrement buttons always >0 to stop accidental stopping. Use Stop button for this.

Main Bug fixes:
Fixed bounce* logic with R & Rx resets
x in noteTime was halting sequence
Removed audio glitch in other audio apps when switching to background mode
sequencer no longer suspended after a few minutes when in background mode
Ornaments now use music scale tones rather than semitones
Improved control selection especially when near buttons for ipad mini"
