Complex chords support:
When editing chords, you can add 4th chord notes to your taste.
Audiobus integration:
Fortamento can now be configured as MIDI Sender in Audiobus.
Navigation between bars while in editing mode:
We've added arrow buttons on the top of the editing screen, so you don't need to jump between main and editing screens when editing multiple bars.
MIDI output "off" state:
In previous version, active MIDI session was displayed in bold font. This was confusing to many, so there's a dedicated "off" state now.
Fixed a bug when the first note would be slightly delayed.
Other minor algorithm improvements and bug fixes.
