MIDI Layers

April 11, 2023

v1.06 B72 The Group Mixer now sends CC7/10 (or however configured) when changing scenes. Make sure the settings are set to send CC for volume. Make sure you have saved a snapshot to that scene, and ensure each layer is assigned to a unique group. NOTE: This change allows you to configure a scene to change instruments as well as volume and pan when the scene is initially selected.

Fixed an issue processing CC layers in the correct order. Fixed a possible crash when selecting beyond the layers range after a deletion. You can now use CC 0 to unmute all layers. A control layer no longer passes notes to lower layers. Position the layer below all other layers if you require pass through. Fixed an issue where layer names don't quite fit in a layer, we no longer get truncated names.

Improved the algorithm for handling CC64 (damper pedal) and CC66. Added an Un-Mute All AU parameter that turns off all muted groups and layers. We now filter CC data for muted groups. Fixed an issue where the layer options mute group was not properly updated. Added a new Group Mixer window to control volume and pan for mute groups (see help manual). I now apply layer input channel filtering to CC messages if enabled.

Added new Monophonic sequencer modes (Off, Last Note, Bass Note, Arp Asc, Arp Dec, Random). You can now use a pedal connected to the exposed AU Next/Prev Scenes parameters to move through all 72 scenes. Added a new latch feature to the layer sequencer menu. You can now latch one of more layers individually. Added a Sequencer Un-latch Control layer. (0-unlatch all, 1-unlatch layer 1, 2-unlatch layer 2 etc.). Added the ability to send a CC and value to any port/channel on scene change (configure in Scene Selection window). Double tapping on the far right of a layer toggles the Latch mode of the sequencer. Long pressing the MENU button doubles as an un-latch ALL sequencer layers. Added a default setting to the CC Control Options window. This allows an optional default value to be sent for each CC layer when a scene is changed. Added new colour coding to the display. On the left each layer displays its active status, on the right the type of layer (control, normal, sequence). When muting a layer manually it now stops latched sequences. Fixed an issue with Sequencer Gate time being 1% out with the menu (rounding error). Fixed an issue which caused a crash when creating a new session after adding scene control layers to all layers. If you resize or move a layer all playing notes on that layer are now cancelled. Added a continuous pattern mode to the layer sequencer to avoid patterns being reset when a key is pressed. Added a sequence option to expire all playing sequencer notes immediately after all notes lifted. Fixed Paste scene no longer links the sequencer to the original. We can now paste scenes into different banks. Layers now fires off Program Changes for the selected scene after loading preset.

Added the scene bank button. Banks A-F allow 6 sets of 12 scenes. Added a layer harmony option which allows us to play 5th, 7th, and octave effects. Added an input trigger channel for each layer. This allows layers to be controlled by more than one master keyboard. This version allows the sustain pedal to pass through to layers regardless of the 'Mod Wheel/CC' setting. Updated help. Fixed an issue which caused the Program Changes to be fired before the scene had completed changing. Added a layer sequencer, allowing an automated sequence yo be played on each layer. Added a 'Quick Switch Mute Groups' to Settings to be have instant toggle and resume of layers.

You can now add a CC Control layer type. This allows you to fire off MIDI CC values when a key is pressed within a layer. To change CC layer options, long press 'Add Layer' and select 'Control Layer Options'. Added Next / Prev Scene control via AU parameters. Layer names are now displayed (outside the layer) on small layers with less than 3 notes. Added the ability to map any of MIDI Layers output ports to physical MIDI ports. Added a new Pitch and Modulation wheels window. Added a new TouchPad view allowing you to configure X/Y CC values. The Touchpad is configured in Settings -> TouchPad X/Y Settings. The TouchPad and Mod Wheel / CC need to be turned ON in the Layer Options window. Pitch Bend is turned on by default, but Mod Wheel is not. We now save the positions of the Mute Groups, Scenes, Notes, TouchPad and Pitch/Mod wheel windows with the session.
