All Versions of touchscaper
1.6.1
May 27, 2021
• Updated Ableton Link SDK
This update should fix sync issues or cases where touchscaper is not being recognised by other Link-enabled apps and vice versa.
PLEASE NOTE: The first time you enable Link, you may see a permissions alert asking for confirmation to allow touchscaper to access your network. This is solely to support Link and is basically how Link enables apps to communicate.

More1.5.0
June 5, 2020
• fixed sequencer "stuttering steps" issue (*)
• fixed issue with MIDI percussion note maps using incorrect notes
• fixed issues when copying sequencer patterns across different parts
• non-active sequencer steps are now dimmed
• sequencer pattern / grid hide and window size logic was confusing - hopefully less so now
• sequencer touch "synth 2" is now called "synth c" - everything else works as before
(*) tech note about sequencer stuttering for those who are interested: this was an intermittent and occasional problem, the cause of which had been difficult to track down. the stuttering would sometimes occur when switching apps while the sequencer was running. For some reason, this got a lot worse with iOS 13 (especially when using IAA), but at least that meant it was a little easier to reproduce the issue and I think I've finally managed to fix it... I'm sure someone will let me know if I haven't :-) Hope you are all keeping safe and well, -Rob
More1.4.9
May 30, 2020
• new drums, percussion and synth sounds from my favourite analog gear!
• additional synth sequencer track (touch - synth2)
• new advanced sequencer options for arp, track direction and variable steps (crazy times)
• additional misc fixes & tweaks
Hope you're enjoying touchscaper and keeping safe and well. Please check out the user guide detailing the new features and there should be a YT video run-through available now or very soon.
More1.4.8
May 17, 2020
• added support for sequencer drums MIDI out (boom!)
• fixed potential crash during audio routing changes (oops!)
• other small fixes and tweaks
Please see the updated user guide included with touchscaper for details on the new MIDI out drums support. There should also be a YT video run-through of the new features on the moodscaper channel now (or very soon). Hope you're enjoying touchscaper and that you're all keeping safe and well. -Rob
