New - Particles: a new kind of layer material with ten GPU particle systems, plus 22 new factory presets made with them. - ProRes 422 HQ recording (saved as .mov) on supported devices. Pick it next to H.264 in Recording Settings. - More video formats: AVI (including DV), QuickTime Animation, PNG, HAP, CineForm and DNxHD. - Support for .m4a audio files (AAC and Apple Lossless), including the ones Logic Pro exports by default. - User Materials folders: create, rename and delete them from VS. Each folder gets its own entry in the material browser. - New "+" tile and NEW button in the material browser to create a shader in the current folder. - Custom banks can now be created, renamed and deleted. Renaming a bank keeps its media, playlists and favorites. - Author field in the save dialog. Presets now show their author in the list. - Several cameras at once on iPads that support it, external cameras included. A camera that can't run shows a warning on its layer. Improved - Recordings at 1440p and 4K keep much more fine detail. - Large images load in the background, so the interface no longer stalls. - A spinner shows on the layer while a file from Files or Photos loads. - "Finishing recording…" indicator, and a new recording can't start until the file is ready. - The material browser lists Texture Effects and User Materials with the other shaders. Categories have icons and remember if they were folded. - Buttons, toggles and list rows light up when pressed. Tapping the label next to a toggle now toggles it. - Factory presets show the artist as author instead of in the name. Playlists that refer to a factory preset by its old name will no longer find it. Fixed - Recordings looking lighter or with shifted colors in QuickTime, Photos and Safari. - Missing first frames, audio drifting out of sync, audio left over from a previous recording, and uneven frame timing. - The Recording parameter staying on after a failed recording, and needing two taps after press-and-hold. - QuickTime Animation, greyscale, 10-bit and HDR10 videos opening with an empty layer. - Relocate Missing Media not relinking shader textures. Relinked media and textures now survive an app restart. - The interface freezing while a file from iCloud loaded, and the file landing on the wrong layer. - A camera layer freezing when a second camera was started. - Layer arrows doing nothing for your own media. - Importing shaders with # or % in the file name. - Material browser jumping to the top after deleting, renaming, duplicating, importing or saving a material. - Shader editor preview stuttering and ignoring SPEED, and a grey bar on the right edge with Increase Contrast on. - Thumbnails frozen for Output layers, and several crashes.

Large photos now use much less memory, and paging or scrubbing through a folder of large images no longer keeps raising memory use. Video previews and cached images are now released when the device runs low on memory, making it less likely that the system closes the app. Video layer thumbnails now show what the layer is playing, following its speed, trim and position, and no longer open each video a second time, lowering memory and CPU use on desktop and iOS. Fixed playlist transitions not showing in the pop-out window, in recordings. Fixed locked audio modulators losing settings such as threshold and gain whenever a patch was loaded. Fixed blocky glitches appearing in the sky of the Grid Terrain shader on iOS after it had been running for a while. Fixed a crash in the iOS AUv3 plug-in with VoiceOver enabled when parts of the interface were shown or hidden.

- Reduced memory use and CPU load while rendering, most noticeably at high output resolutions. - Fixed audio crackling when stopping a video recording while sound was playing. - Fixed a crash on iOS with VoiceOver enabled when parts of the interface were shown or hidden. - Fixed a crash when changing a layer's audio input while sound was playing. - Fixed a crash when a video or camera layer was shown while new frames were still arriving, most often on Android. - Fixed a hang on iOS after changing the output resolution or render quality while the output was running. - Fixed crashes and audio glitches while the modulation matrix or the audio modulation panel was open. - Fixed a crash when changing the recording input settings while sound was playing. - Fixed a crash while paging or scrubbing through the images of a layer texture's folder.

- Fixes patch saving - Fixes crash when recording - General bug fixes and improvements

- Added previous and next arrows to a layer's texture, so you can page through the images of its folder without opening the media browser. - Added MIDI mapping for hue, saturation and brightness in the layer colour panel. - Fixed layer textures being lost when exporting and re-importing banks and patches. - Fixed high CPU usage when NDI output was enabled, caused by the outgoing audio stream being re-clocked unnecessarily. - Fixed an app hang when clearing or changing a video layer's source. - Fixed a crash when triggering layers over MIDI caused by an out-of-range voice being selected. - Fixed reverting a patch saved before 2.1.0 restoring the wrong colours on its video, image and output layers. - Fixed the strikethrough button in the text properties not appearing selected once enabled. - Fixed recordings using a sample rate the audio engine had rejected, when the requested rate was not supported by the device.

Fixed an app freeze caused by the offscreen renderer queuing frame updates faster than the main thread could process them. Fixed playback of planar YUV video files, such as H.264 4:2:2, which previously failed to render. Fixed a crash in the oscilloscope display at high audio sample rates or before its frame rate was initialised. Fixed global MIDI mappings being changed when selecting a patch. Fixed imported custom banks conflicting with built-in expansion banks. Fixed a crash when stopping NDI output while audio was still being sent. Fixed a crash when adding a patch with no assigned bank to the Playlist. General bug fixes and improvements.

- Added support for the Novation Launch Control XL (3rd generation) as a MIDI controller. - Added Start, Stop, and Rewind transport controls for video layers in the video properties panel, all MIDI-mappable. - Added an option to automatically start the Playlist when the audio Player starts playing. - Fixed layer reset not restoring blend mode, colour, and alpha to their factory defaults. - Fixed an app hang when the render output resolution changed while a frame readback was in progress (e.g., during recording or NDI output). - Fixed crashes caused by video layer property accessors being called with stale or out-of-range layer indices. - Fixed a crash during NDI output when streaming was stopped while a frame was still being sent. - Fixed crashes when help tooltips were triggered after their hosting panel had been closed. - Fixed startup crash caused by FFT and waveform displays rendering before audio was fully initialised. - Fixed a crash when editing a layer's MIDI trigger note list while MIDI notes were being received simultaneously.

- Fixed UI freeze on iOS when opening dropdown menus (e.g. modulation source and properties panels). - Fixed loading of bundled media assets - Fixed crashes on launch when the saved app state, default patch, or asset providers were missing or invalid.

- General bug fixes and improvements

- Added the ability to load a texture to be used inside shaders via imageTex uniform (image can be loaded in layer input settings). - Added new material category Texture Effects. - Added drag and drop media file support to layer items. - Added audio output channel configuration selection. - Added player setting to auto play files on load. - Added new file extension .vpfe when including assets in patch export. - Added BPM analyser in player. - Allow opening .vpf .vpfe and .vbf files from Files - Resetting shader cache compiles shaders right away. - Allow muting audio output. - Improved performance of material browser.

- Added techno 7 demo - Fixed playlist and player sync with host - Fixed video playback of videos recorded with iPhone - Fixed crash when using APC40 MKII tempo knob - Fixed stuttering when using knobs of APC40 MKII - Fixed iOS dialogs when an external display is connected to iPad
