Original release notes
Grooves you can keep, and a whole new feel to practise. • Keep the grooves you like. Tap the bookmark above the notes to keep a groove. Find it again in Practice → Saved grooves — as many as you like. • Shuffles, 6/8 and 12/8. Turn on Shuffle & 6/8 in Practice to mix in grooves that count in threes — from a slow 12/8 ballad up to the half-time shuffle. • Every PAS rudiment, written right. All 40, with triplets marked and counted “1 la li”, and each one in the time signature it really fills. • Optimized for iPhone Duo. Closed, the controls stand beside the notes, the way Apple's own apps do. Open like a book, the bar line moves into the fold, so no note sits on the crease. • A tempo for each feel. Shuffles and 6/8 remember their own tempo, so a slow ballad never inherits your rock speed. Also fixed: • Flams and drags on beat 1 now sound before the beat, not on top of it. • Your settings now stay put when the app updates. • In landscape, barlines no longer cut through a flam or a drag. • In Labeled mode, letters no longer run into each other. Thanks for trying it. If something annoys you, Settings → Send Feedback comes straight to me.
