[Overall improvements]
- Improved handling of iOS11+ gestures that could conflict with some UI elements (editor keys, sample editor, pattern editor key roll, etc.).
- It is now possible to create new audio & aux tracks directly from the Perform screen.
- Added a new MIDI routing option (in the MIDI Setup panel of banks), to set a Bank either in “Single Channel Mode” or “Multi Channel Mode”. In “Single Channel Mode”, the incoming MIDI note is used to route the message to the matching pad: for example, C3 (note 60) will trigger pad 60. In “Multi Channel Mode”, the incoming MIDI channel is used to route the message to the matching pad: for example, a message on MIDI channel 12 will trigger pad 12.
- The small pads on the editor will light up when receiving note events.
- Banks will be set to “Single Channel” mode by default, listening on Channel 1. This way, you only need to configure an input MIDI device for the bank. If you set the Bank in KEYS mode, you can quickly and easily play melodic instruments with minimal configuration.

- Improved grid contrast in pattern editor.
- Improved white keys lane contrast in pattern editor.
