July 24, 2018
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Faster playing and audio quality improvements. New features: MIDI Control: The Treble sounds may be played via MIDI from a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI player or controller apps. Set the MIDI channel for the treble side using the "MIDI Channel" slider on the settings page. Lowest note is G3 (MIDI Note 55) Range is G3 through E6. Bass/Chord Shift: You can now transpose the bass and chords up or down by either zero or two semitones, effectively shifting the bass side up or down by two rows. This allows you to play songs that use chords not available in the basic layout, for example Em tunes that require Bm and F#m. For example, a shift of +2 means that the E bass and chord buttons now play F#, the A is a B, and D is an E. Note: When the bass side sound is transposed, the labels on the buttons do not change. This may be addressed in a future update. I added this feature after wanting to be able to play "Indifference" on the app, which required F#m. :-)
