Improved tuning controls and sound names in AUv3 hosts such as GarageBand. • Octave-based tunings now use C3 as their starting note, making the reference point easier to identify. • The Tuning / Microtonal button now displays the current tuning. • Added guidance for choosing tunings, including 19, 24 and 31 equal divisions, and understanding keyboard pitch changes. • Sound names are easier to read. Tap the name to choose from the preset list. • Fixed sound name updates when changing presets or restoring projects, and improved saving and restoring tuning settings. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions!
