v1.18 Fixed an issue applying effects to left and right channels of a stereo file. The effect trail was still being applied actoss both channels. v1.17 Added a new Vertical Scaling option to the Settings menu. When enabled you can scale a selection using vertical pinch and zoom. This allows you to raise/lower the volume of either left or right channel by pinching in the upper or lower half of the waveform. To adjust both channels pinch at the centre. By default this option is disabled. Fixed a drag issue when drop mode set to 'Drop In Place' when the editor is empty. Attempted a fix for the Loopy Pro multiple instance crash on session load. Fixed an occasional crash converting files from mono to stereo. Added the ability to sort the Media Bay by date or name (in settings). Added top/bottom sample guide markers in the editor for 0dB.

Added a new Cross Fade feature to the Operations menu. You can now extract samples with orbit mode. Extracated samples using Particle Engine mode are now perfectly loopable. Fixed issue loading Neon inside Loopy Pro (zero BPM). Added a new updated menu system which allows submenus.

December 9, 2021

Added a new Particle mode that uses granular synthesis to turn samples into drones or soundscapes. Particle mode can be controlled via extrnal MIDI using note,s pitch bend and modulation and CC7 for volume. You can also use the orbit mode to create moving textures. Particle mode works on a selection, so you can use in conjunction with slice mode to mark out areas of interest that can be triggered using MIDI. Added a new Create Tail option to the Operations menu. This uses the particle engine to reconstruct tails on samples that have an abrupt end due to slicing. Added scrubbing on the timeline (turn on in settings as defaults to off). Added the ability to extract samples at the cursor position from the Particle Engine window. Updated Help manual. Fixed the importing of ZIP files from Koala issue. Fixed an issue with Flatten Warp that resulted in distorted due to output level being too high. Other minor bug fixes and changes.

Added the ability to apply fine Warp detuning. This is useful when tuning samples before rendering/flattening the sample. Improved touch on iOS15. Scrolling and Zooming are now not so likely to remove selection. Drag operations now uses a more precise UTI type than public.audio which fixes compatability with certain apps such as Sample Crate and Loopy Pro. Fixed some issues with the LaunchPad integration of queued instances flashing mulri-colour. Added a collaborative mode for sharing LaunchPad with Helium (Select from Launch Button Options). Fixed thr issue with the LaunchPad Pro not being recognised. It is now possible to drag folders to and from Media Bay to other apps such as the Files App if supported. This version fixes an issue that may prevent it showing up in the iOS Share Sheet. This version now registers Neon as accepting public.data types and not just public.zip, so you can now import projects from Koala in a similar fashion to Blocs Wave.
