June 22, 2023

v1.09 b133 Fixed a possible crash when choosing user chords with high complexities.

October 18, 2022

Added the ability to show pad colours for complexity (Enable in settings). Added David Collett's latest new chord definitions. You can now trigger song sections via MIDI or AU parameter. This allows smooth transition from one part to another on the next beat boundary. Added an option to turn OFF drag and drop from chord pads.

When you change the key it now transposes the pads and your song by default. You can turn OFF song transpose in settings so that it only transposes the pads, this way you can add key changes to songs. Long pressing the Key button now allows you to transpose the MIDI output +/- 12 semitones without modifying the pads or song. Fixed a potential issue with dropping files into the Load File window. Added sanity check when loading presets to ensure they are from Progressions. You can now load arp, strum and preset files from Share Sheets. Added custom icons to presets, arps, and strum patterns when viewed in the Files App. When drag and dropping back to the Load File window, the window expands if it is showing less than 6 items. Updates help and video links.

Progressions now responds to CC 0x40 (All Notes Off). We now saves state of preview button with the session. Fixed a drag drop issue copying strum patterns from the filer to the Load Strum window. We now remember the name of the last loaded session. The main Preview button no longer has to be enabled in order to preview edited chords. We also have an additional MIDI Out port for MIDI Thru mapping.

Fixed an issue with the ARP editor where you cannot open the channel window if the editor is scrolled. The circle of fifths wheel now rotates in minor modes. Added new Block Chord play modes allowing you to perform triggered bass, add random notes and asc/dec arps along side the block chord. (Long press the Block Chords button to access the new feature). The song view now scrolls during playback. Added an arp swing option with forward and reverse swing. Long press the Arpeggiator button to change swing. (Swing applies to a beat divider of 2 (8th) and 4 (16th) notes. Updated manual.

Fixed an issue where selecting user chords from the menu previewed the original chord and not the newly selected chord. The song repeat button is now updated after syncing multiple instances of Progressions. The Arp/Strum length prompt is now properly updated after loading a custom Arp. Added a chord detection algorithm to the edit chord window. See help for details. Added a new Export Song submenu within the main menu (only appears if you have song data). You can now export a song structure and chords to a PDF file for safe keeping. You can also export a song as MIDI data to the pasteboard. Once export is complete you can also drag and drop the MIDI file to the Files App. Added a continuous ARP mode that prevents the ARP from being reset when a new chord sounds. This can also be toggled during song playback using styles. Added a downloadable PDF version of the manual to the help. You can now long press 'Copy' in the song editor duplicates a selection. You can now long press 'Clear' in the song editor replaces all selected events with an Empty chord. Improved the visibility of the play cursor in Song Mode. Fixed an issue where Empty song parts were not showing correctly in the full song chain after building using the conductor.

Added a new song construction mode to help break down songs into song parts. The 'Empty' button in the song window is now draggable allowing you to insert, overwrite and append to your song. Added the ability to preview arps/strum patterns when the sequencer is not running. You an also preview arps / stum patterns when tapping on the header in Song Mode. You can assign a part color style to a selection of chords in song view.

Fixed an issue that caused crashes when adding 'Empty' cells to song. Fixed an issue tapping on a chord pad in song mode which caused song position to change. Fixed an issue using Hold within a song. When the song loops, the hold pedal state is maintained. Tapping a chord header now previews the chord if Preview is enabled. We now remember the last Arp or Strum tab so we can select the last tab used for each play mode. The help manual now remembers its last position. We can now exhange chord pads via drag and drop (except root). We can also drag from a chord pad to the song chain (add, replace and insert supported). You can now drag a chord from one song position to another in the Song editor (tap, hold and drag header).

v1.01 B99 You can now long press the Input MIDI button to enable extended MIDI (allowing control of additional params 0-35 instead of 0-24). This allows us to switch between the pattern editor tabs via MIDI input. Added the output channel selection to the exposed AU controls. The instance name is now displayed on the left of the interface. Instances of Progressions are automatically named and colour coded for use in AUM. You can now selectively pick instances to sync. Fixed an issue syncing instances in GarageBand and Cubasis (worked in AUM). Fixed an issue which could accidentally trigger exchange pads when playing fast. Added an Octave knob to the internal Instrument Settings. Added the number of instances found in the Sync Instances window. Fixed an issue which caused the delete row to be triggered when swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Fixed an issue with the Panic (all notes off) not sending to ALL channels.
