## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.1 — 2024-10-21

Finally available as an Audio Unit v3 and also on iPhone  (keyboards adapt to all various resolutions - zoom on upper keyboard on iPhone due to restricted height compared to iPad version, however host sequencer’s keyboard can be used instead. On iPad M4 13" the keyboards use the whole space).

AUv3 tested and working on Cubasis 2 and 3 (if no sound problem in Garageband you may use AUM to host the AUv3 instead).

### 1.0.2 — 2023-01-09

- fixed Core Midi support in standalone mode (was working in pre 1.0 versions however was broken since release).
- fixed Inter App Midi (only some hosts/sequencers support this feature, for example Cubasis2+. For GarageBand users, you should wait for Audio Unit v3 support completion in Linear Player as GB only supports audio over Inter App communication, not Midi).
- made the menus taller.

### 1.0.1 — 2022-12-29

- fixed gain for first preset
- category filter is now set to ALL at launch time
- added two new sounds

### 1.0 — 2022-12-19

No release notes.
