+ New app, KING OF FM released. It has all the sounds of FM Player. Grab it in the App Store. It works *MUCH* better as an AUv3.
+ More iOS 16 bug fixes

+ Fixes some sounds not loading across the entire keyboard
+ More iOS 16 related fixes

Hello Everyone!
* This update makes the Stand-alone version more stable
* Small stability updates to AUv3 as well
* App updated for iOS 15. Note in AUv3: preset changing works fine in most hosts (AUM, Cubasis, etc). In early iOS 15 versions of GarageBand, sometimes the app needs to be loaded and restarted. Then preset changing will work. This may be fixed by the time you read this.
Hope you all stay creative and healthy.
Please take care of yourselves and your fellow musicians. :)

THANK YOU, HOPE YOU'RE STAYING SAFE & HEALTHY :)
Quick Fixes: Layers Panel shows up correctly on all iPads now
+ Supports Dark Mode (saving / renaming Presets and Banks now is visible)
Plus 2.4 Updates:
• Added Inter-app Audio (IAA) & Audiobus support
• We're working on improving AUv3. In the meantime, we've added IAA & AB back.
• We also really appreciate everyone who got the new Bass 808 app. Its new code is helping us with this app.
• We've got more to go... We're working constantly to improve AudioKit apps for you.
Thanks for your support!
The app will just get better & better - stay tuned!

I replaced the distortion with a subtle, warm tube amp "Overdrive" knob. It sounds a bit like the old 70s tube amp I have in my basement. When you plug into the amp, it adds a lot of gain with a substantial amount of body. Giving it a nice, vintage, powerful loud sound with a light crunch. The new FM Player "overdrive" knob attempts to replicate this sound. It doesn't get too distorted. And, adds character while retaining the sonic characteristics of the source tone. BTW, thanks for all the emails. We are still working on FM Player, and have many more free upgrades planned in the coming months... Stay tuned!! And, please tell your friends! :) You can reach me directly at [email protected]



Includes all the v1.1 stuff: ATTACK & RELEASE knobs. Plus, beautiful new MIDI velocity handling. Why so much attention to detail? You're a musician who cares about sound quality. This free update gives you a dramatic increase in realism while playing with a MIDI keyboard. Please leave a good review, We're still working on FM Player. We think you are all GREAT and we appreciate all your kind words! <3.



• We spent weeks coming up with beautiful velocity curves individually tailored to each sound. This was done with code. Meaning, we did not increase the storage space!



• Better MIDI keyboard velocity. Each preset has a unique velocity response, inspired by the original hardware.



• We found that Attack/Release controls are the most useful envelopes for a sample-based instrument like FM Player. Turn up the Release knob all the way for beautiful and floating sounds.



• We updated the GitHub source-code repo with these new Attack/Release controls. Plus, there is a new programming tutorial video on our website, audiokitpro.com



• We are all volunteers, working hard for you. We do not get paid anything. And, we make FM Player free so musicians all over the world can enjoy it!

WORKING ON:

We are working on a free Synth app that you will love. And, we are working on making FM Player more power efficient. Plus, other improvements you have emailed. In the meantime, it might be best to completely close FM Player when you are not using it to save battery use. We appreciate your patience with us as we figure this out. <3

If you want to sound like Slayer, get yourself FM Player! We added a... DISTORTION knob!

Sorry, Spinal Tap. This distortion does not "go to 11". It goes to a very sensible 10.

Plus, "Favorites" now save when you turn the app on and off again. That's quite helpful, right?

We know you are all VERY SMART and STABLE GENIUSES! And, we'd like to reward you: Pitch Wheel and Mod Wheel controls added! (Tip: Try Mod Wheel on the "EP & String Stack" sound). We appreciate all of your nice comments and listen to every suggestion (especially if you leave a 5-star review)! Thanks again!



NEW STUFF:

+ Pitch Wheel

+ Mod Wheel

+ Fixed issue with AudioBus 3 "Not Registering"



Pitch/Mod Wheel Tip: (1) Tap anywhere in the Mod/Pitch Wheels to go directly to that position. (2) You can also drag the indicator.

Two ways to interact and play!



WORKING ON:

+ Background Audio toggle removed. It wasn't really saving power and was causing problems. We realize that FM Player could be more power efficient and we are working on improving it. In the meantime, it might be best to completely close FM Player when you are not using it to save battery. We appreciate your patience with us as we figure this out. <3
