What's New (v1.1.7) Host sync improvement: synced layers always return to zero when the host resumes playback from a bar line, including 1:1:1. New modulation targets. Momentary: mute and solo on, off, and toggle. Continuous: layer delay and reverb send levels and A/B selectors, delay and reverb output levels and A/B selectors. Fixed: Stop commands were ignored if a Play command was pending. Fixed: Reverb color and diffusion quantized too coarsely. Fixed: Crossfader bled through from the A buss when set to full B. Fixed: Click at the beginning of playback when Env To Speed is engaged. Improved popup menu handling for the expanded modulation target list. MIDI: control-up events are now ignored when a control-hold mapping is active. The gesture-trim button now plays the gesture during recording or playback, instead of stopping it.

>> Scrubbing while stopped has been fixed. >> Scrubbing lag when damper is at zero fixed. >> Reduced clicking while selecting slices. >> Several issues with host sync resolved.

>> Fixed a crash that happens when using Gesture Recorders with the Slices knob.

>> Gesture Recorders added to the Modulations page. These are a group of six loopers that, instead of audio, will loop the UI itself. Almost every control in Circa can be recorded and played back, either as a loop or a 1-shot. The transport works just like the audio transports (double click stop to RTZ, hold stop to clear). The loop toggle button allows you to switch between 1-shot playback and looping playback, and the scissors button trims any dead air at the front of the recording (useful when mousing or recording controls not on the top panel.) To prevent feedback loops, the gesture recorders can not record MIDI input; they only record actual UI manipulation. You can, however, play the gesture recorders with MIDI input, via two new controls in the momentary assign lists. >> Play position is now a continuous modulation target. This is, as you may imagine, somewhat experimental. GLHF >> Playback volume is is now ducked while scrubbing position. It was felt by several users that the scrubbing was too loud; we have addressed this. >> Slices were not displaying in the UI when editor was re-opened. This has been fixed. >> Several bugs related to waveform start and end point manipulation have been sent to live on a farm in the country. >> Various other bug fixes and optimizations.

>> Memory manager rewrite. The plugin now dynamically allocates memory rather than carving out a big chunk on instance. The net result is that lower end machines (principally older iPads) should now work fine, and all the memory-related crashes should be solved. When you are running out of RAM, there are two stages. First, the plug-in’s UI will inform you that undo is no longer available, and if you continue to record, it will eventually stop being able to record, as it has allocated all system RAM it is allowed to. The plugin will continue to work as normal and the session should be otherwise unaffected. >> MIDI modulation assignments now briefly light up when they are triggered. >> Size of "handle" on loop start and end positions is larger, making them easier to grab on touch screens. >> The selected layer number is brighter on Speeds and Positions screens. >> Bug where Audio and Free trigger methods did not work correctly when host sync was on has been fixed. >> Master RTZ mode issues have been fixed. >> Trigger mode can not be changed while recording. >> Start and end positions were getting reset on preset load. This has been fixed. >> On MIDI CC assignments, hold and down now trigger when the CC value is greater than 63, instead of 127.

1. Some sync issues fixed. 2. "Grab" spots for start and end point controls made larger, so they are easier to finger. 3. An issue where start and end points would be reset when closing and reopening the UI in some hosts has been fixed. Please note: the crashes that some users with lower-model iPads are seeing are related to RAM allocation; we are working hard to solve this, and hope to have another update next week, as soon as we have thoroughly tested our fixes.
