### Updates / fixes - fixed MIDI input limit for messages (this could lead to crash after some while) - fixed a startup crash when connecting to new/updated audio output - added 16 bands split for MIDI Out channels - popovers scroll to near last selected item when opened ### Added - Separate `TraceSonic MIDI` processor unit: - audio skipped when used as MIDI processor - Base note hold is automatically turned On, so the playhead/canvas plays with host transport (would require MIDI In otherwise) - also after patches are loaded, and MIDI Legato and Merge is enabled - MIDI In channel mask added to MIDI settings - symmetric brushes - keyboard shortcuts: Cmd+Z, Cmd+Shift+Z for undo/redo history - 'Composition study': a coherent set of techno inspired sequencing and simple instruments patches and patterns which use MIDI enabled 8 bands canvas as 'sequencer', each instrument sits on separate MIDI channel - new whole canvas operations: Fade - reduces strong pixels more than quiet detail Amplify - lifts quiet detail without clipping peaks - region got also Amplify

### Updates / fixes - substantial brushes update: - fixed paint strokes on canvases with different aspect ratios; preview, audio, saved strokes and undo now use the same cell coverage - reorganized and updated their groupings/families, shapes and semitone spans; Soft round is now the default - Shaped bands are narrower, with soft edges and travel-based fades; harmonic variants inherit their base brush's shape - Shaped brushes: Fading line, Blooming band, and fading, blooming, widening, and narrowing harmonic variants - Pitch snap scale picker is shown only when snap is enabled - Patch browser remembers the last selected Factory / User tab - Standalone skips session-file writes when the saved state is unchanged - Note labels use Yamaha octave numbering (MIDI 60 is C3); sounding pitches are unchanged - Help in the About section should be much more useful and can be also opened in browser ### Added - Canvas transforms: transpose, cyclic time shift, time/pitch reversal, amplitude inversion, and rotation - Canvas regions: rectangular fades and level reduction - Canvas cyclic echo at 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 pass - MIDI out: - Legato and Retrigger articulation for playing notes - output channels distribution: Merge, Cycle, and 2/4/8-band channel routing - Standalone publishes a Core MIDI source - channel mapping shown beside the pitch ruler and in the MIDI picker - Kick and Dust wavetables - New patterns across rhythmic, harmonic, gesture and texture groups - New Sequences - MIDI category with minimal techno loops and channel-routing examples; additional patches across tones, sequences, drones, textures, gestures, oddities and SFX

- updated UI/UX of the app and plugin - they both are much more responsive now - new Export image option for painted image/canvas and new `Pitch Guide` factory patch which image can guide precise pitch painting in external sw - added Changelog to About section and updated Help in many places
