CHORD SELECTOR INTERFACE COMPLETELY REMADE - Scale support added. You can now select a scale of your chord progression. - The key selector is now represented as a 12th-sector wheel. - Depending of the selected scale, keys that match the scale are highlighted. But you still have the power to select any key, even if it is not in the scale. - To change a key of the selected chord you tap on a wheel sector with the needed key. - To change a key of the scale you rotate the wheel with a dragging gesture. - If you want to lock the already created chords so they won't be affected(transposed) when the key wheel is rotated, the lock control(a little lock button) should be in the locked mode. If it is unlocked, rotation of the wheel will cause the transposition of the selected scale and of all the chords as well. - Chord type selector is now represented as two rows of buttons. First row contains chord families and second row contains chord types from the selected family. - Depending on the selected scale and the key of the selected chord, chord type buttons could be painted in three different colors: green, yellow, red. Green means all the notes of the selected chord match the scale. Yellow - one note of the chord is out of the scale. Red - two or more notes is out of the scale. - As an additional feature, in the inner part of the key wheel you can see the notes of the selected chord and of the chord just before the selected and of the chord just after the selected. BUG FIXES AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS - Fixed the bug when the playhead jumps to next section when deleting the last chord of a section. - Fixed the bug when internal synth would not play after a phone call is recieved on the device. - UI and performance improvements. Hope you will like the update. Thank you for your support! Dmitry

=== New multi-timbral sound engine and new sounds === Previous version of ChordFlow had a very simple, mono-timbral sound engine and only had one internal sound. With this update, ChordFlow gets a new multi-timbral sound engine with 25 build-in sounds. Each of the 8 track can be assigned any of these sounds. List off the available sounds includes: Grand Piano, Electric Piano, Electric Piano FM, Vibraphone, Marimba, Rock Organ, Pipe Organ, Accordion, Acoustic Bass, Slap bass, Synth Bass, Pizzicato String, Harp, Strings, Strings Slow, Choir, Synth Voice, Trumpet, Brass section, Oboe, Flute, Square lead, Saw lead, Solo vox, Polysynth === Ability to pre-hear chords === Now, when you are in the chord sequence editor view while the sequencer is not playing, if you select a chord or change the selected chord, the chord will be played shortly. With this feature you can now quickly examine the chords in your sequence without need to play the full sequence. === Export all sections as a single MIDI file === You can now choose whether to export the entire song into one MIDI file or into multiple MIDI files, one per each song's section. === Support iPhone X === Interface layout is now adjusted propertly for the iPhone X screen.

=== ChordFlow project export/import === You can now export and share your ChordFlow project files. Go to File menu > Export > ChordFlow project. You will see the standard iOS share view, where you can send your project file by AirDrop, email, dropbox, etc. And you will be able to open the ChordFlow project files that you receive. If you want to transfer your project from one iDevice to other it is very simple using AirDrop. On one device go to export view and in the AirDrop section select the other device. After the file is transferred, your song will be automatically loaded in the other device. === Export to Standard MIDI file === It is now possible to export your ChordFlow project to the standard MIDI file. Go to File menu > Export > Standard MIDI file. Choose where you want to send the generated midi files to. Than you can open the exported MIDI file in other iOS app or a desktop DAW like Ableton Live or Logic. If your ChordFlow project contains more than one section, MIDI export will produce one MIDI file for each section. Each MIDI file will contain the same number of tracks as the section contains. Say, if you have 1 melody track and 2 arpeggio tracks in your section, you will get 3 tracks in the MIDI file.

=== MELODY TRACKS === Each song section can now have up to 4 melody tracks in addition to 4 arpeggio tracks that we had already. So you can now create complete song ideas with chord progressions, arpeggios, and melodies. Melodies are edited in the separate(from arpeggio) grid. You can specify scale of the melody grid and configure the length and the rate parameters. The chords that you configured in the chord progression editor will be shown in the melody grid view below the note grid. And also for more convenience, chord notes will be highlighted with grey rounded bars allowing you to see which notes of the melody matches the corresponding chord. === NEW TRACK CONTROL PANEL === There is now a track control panel in the main view, at the bottom, where you can specify destination of each track and mute/solo individual tracks. This settings are now stored individually for each song. === LOOP REGIONS IN ARPEGGIO AND MELODY EDITOR === You can now loop a region when you are in the arpeggio or melody editor. To add a loop region, tap on the timeline bar above the note grid. After that, the loop with the default length of 4 steps will be added. You can then move the loop region around dragging it by its center or you can stretch and squeeze it by dragging it by its ends. To remove the loop region just tap on it again. The loop region is only active while you are in the editor view. When you move back to the main view, the loop is automatically removed. === OTHER CHANGES === - Remove(Trash) button in arpeggio and melody editors now removes only the selected track. And there is no moro annoying confirm. If you tap remove button accidentally, you can restore the deleted track with the undo button. - Line tool and delete tool behaviour changed a little. Before this update, when you started to draw a line or delete a region, you could only extend the already drown region. Now it behaves more expectedly. If you have drawn a line further than you needed you can no move back to make it smaller - Arpeggio grid max length increased to from 32 to 64 steps. - Color scheme changed. After introducing 4 new colors for melody tracks, I decided to switch to more neutral background colors, as it was not looking very good on the original blue schema. - Bug fixes

SECTIONS VIEW REDESIGNED - Each section row now contains a play button with the section name, an arpeggiator pattern view and a chord sequence view. You can start playing a section or jump to another section just by tapping on a section's play button. You can now see arpeggiator patterns and chord sequences of all your sections right on the main view. So it is now much easier to see what is currently playing and what you need to play next. - Custom names for sections. You can now give your sections custom names. Tap on the edit button at the right of the navigation bar. Press rename on the required section. - Section reordering was improved. Now to reorder a section just long-press on it and move it around. CHORD SEQUENCE EDITOR REDESIGNED - Each chord is now represented as a tile instead of a row. So it is now a lot more compact and allows you to fit more chords into one screen. The currently edited chord is indicated by a color frame around it. You can now edit the selected chord while the whole chord sequence is playing. It is much more convenient because you can hear the changes you make in the context of the full sequence. - Duration slider was removed. Now, to change a chord duration you use the new picker control's column with label "Beats". - Now when you add a new chord, instead of adding a default C major chord to the end of the sequence, the currently selected chord is copied and inserted after the selected chord. Selection is then moved to the newly added chord allowing you to edit it right away if you need to. - If the sequence is currently playing and you select a chord that was not selected before, the playhead will not jump to that chord. This allows you to edit the chords of the sequence without disrupting the music flow. But if you still want to jump between chords, tap on a chord one more time, and it will start playing after the currently played chord is played to the end. If you want to jump to the selected chord right away, tap on it two times more after the selection tap. To summarize: 1 tap = selection, 2 taps = selection and quantized jump, 3 taps = selection and immediate jump. - Chord reordering was also improved. To change a chord position, long-press on it and move it wherever you want it to be. ARPEGGIATOR EDITOR - Per-track mute buttons were added. - Move tool added. You can now move the selected track along the arpeggiator grid. - Per-track octave param added. You can now change the octave of the selected track. - Per-track voice number param added. You can now set the number of voices per a track. When you set this param to the value more than one, the track will be splitted to the multiple parallel lines. You can use it to quickly create full chord parts with just one track(color). Before that improvement, you would need to use multiple tracks for that task. - Portrait orientation support for iPhone. You can now edit arpeggiator sequence in both portrait and landscape orientations. When you are in the portrait orientation on an iPhone, you see only a part of the arpeggiator sequence. To scroll through it you use a two finger pan gesture (put two fingers on the arpeggiator grid and slide them left and right). On the landscape orientation on an iPhone, the grid is fit to the screen so you can see the whole sequence. - Undo/redo buttons added. You can now go back and forth in the history of edits in the arpeggiator editor. - "Clear all" button added. You can now clear the whole arpeggiator pattern at once. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS - Several unexpected crash cases were fixed. - Editing performance is improved. The chord sequence and arpeggiator sequence editing procedures were optimized to provide much smoother experience when editing a section while the app is playing. - Currently opened song is now autosaved. - Overall UI polishments and minor bug fixes.

AUDIOBUS 3 SUPPORT!!! - ChordFlow now provides four Audiobus 3 MIDI sender ports, one per track, and one consolidated port that transmits events from all 4 tracks. - You can now start and stop ChordFlow using Audiobus control panel buttons. - You can also use ChordFlow as a Audiobus Audio input in both Audiobus 3 and Audiobus 2. OTHER CHANGES - Ableton link offset parameter range increased. Now it can be set to values from -500ms to 500ms - Sequencer performance tuning

- fixed the bug when steps count and rate labels were not updated when switching between sections while the app is not playing - fixed a short sound interruption when track output set to an internal synth sound - sped up sequence redrawing
