Stability improvements and bug fixes

+ Bug fixes and performance improvements

+ 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...

Thank you! In this update, we've made FM Player work better with older devices. + Plus, Added Playback "Buffer" Setting Feature You'll find the new buffer choices in the "Settings" button to the upper left of the keyboard. For older devices, you can set the Buffer higher to reduce crackling. + FM Player 2 is in the works. And, you're gonna love it. We're re-engineering FM Player so that we can make it AUv3. Plus, we just made AudioKit Synth One accessible for the Blind and visually impaired. We're on a mission to make music-making accessible to all musicians, worldwide. + Plus, we have released a fund-raising app called AudioKit Digital D1. 100% of the proceeds go to the AudioKit Project, and to support free apps like AudioKit Synth One and FM Player for years to come. :) Please note that we all are volunteers.

We're working on AudioKit Synth One right now. Synth One will be the first professional level, completely free iPad synth in history. After that is complete, we will turn our attention to FM Player 2: Classic DXII. It will be a FREE upgrade for you as a thank you. It will include some amazing new features: Dual layers, Keyboard Splits, Stereo Phaser, and 100+ total free sounds. Please continue to tell your friends about FM Player. The more people like it, the more motivated we are to upgrade and make these new free apps for you. Thanks! V1.1.4: New warm tube-drive algorithm. The "Overdrive" knob gives you some nice crunch. Turn it up halfway, and turn on the Auto Panner for a nice "Rotary Speaker" effect. It adds character while retaining the sonic characteristics of the source tone. This is great for a nice, vintage EP drive. BTW, thanks for all the emails. We are still working on FM Player, and have many more free upgrades planned... Stay tuned! And, please tell your friends! :) You can reach me directly at matthew@audiokitpro.com 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! You can reach a real person at hello@audiokitpro.com. We care about you and will read every email personally! 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 Please note that we all are volunteers. AudioKit does not have any sponsors or investors.

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!!

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? Includes all the v1.1 stuff: ATTACK & RELEASE knobs. Plus, beautiful new MIDI velocity handling.
