• fixed bug with incorrect screen size when launching GR-16 under another host app via Inter-App Audio; • fixed bug when midi program change event crashed GR-16 in Song Mode; • framework libraries (LinkKit, ALSExport and AudioBus) have been updated to their latest versions; • added support for new device screen resolutions; • other minor bug fixes.

Bug fixes: - sample folders with dots in their names were not seen - fixed; - AUv3: "Start with Host" setting was not working/displaying correctly; - AUv3: if you solo one part and then reopen plugin's window, solo will be cancelled - fixed; - Copy/Paste Entire Part now pastes part's name too; - pressing and holding the Part select, Mute, Erase, Trigger etc. buttons from the external midi controller (previously assigned via Midi Learn) was not working correctly: it would release when you touched some pads on the screen at the same time - fixed now; - using with LaunchPad Pro: during playback, "Follow Cursor" function was not working (not updating the current bar) while app was in the background - fixed; Other changes: - you can now use EXIT button during playback to cancel jumping to the next pattern in case you have occasionally selected it; - during pattern playback, if you occasionally touched the SONG mode button, you can now cancel it by tapping the SONG button again. EXIT button will work for this too; - Revert to Saved: you can now use this function during pattern playback, no need to stop the pattern.

- introducing Novation LaunchPad Pro mk3 support (in standalone app only)! Connect your LP Pro and get full control over your live performance with Groove Rider GR-16! You can access up to four different pad modes simultaneously. It can display, for example, Mute, Trigger, Jump and Keys modes simultaneously on one LP Pro surface! Also, you can control the MFX touch pad, Arpeggiator, adjust part Volume, Pan, Send amount, Mutes, Solo, browse your patterns bank and much more! - added a separate Settings Page (standalone app only) with a new dedicated Settings button next to the Mixer button. Settings Page contains all the global GR-16 settings like Audio, Midi, Colors, Sync etc. displayed in a convenient way, and also all the Export/Share functions. Note, that the old "Settings" menu and all the export functions from the "Util" menu were moved to this new Settings Page; - LaunchPad Pro mk3 section added to the Midi menu of the Settings Page, where you can tweak certain things like e.g. Arpeggiator x-axis and y-axis parameter assign, enable/disable screen saver and text hints; - fixed bug in AUv3 with assigning knob parameters under AUM: knobs were reacting only in every other pattern you select; - fixed in AUv3: REC aim (REC paused) mode now starts to play together with host; - other minor bug fixes.

- added: you can now swipe left in the Patterns List to quickly Rename, Init or Duplicate selected pattern; - added: UNDO button now can be Midi Learned; - added (AUv3): you can now copy/paste pattern data between two audio units of the same type using Copy button. It works between GR-16 units of the same type only, which means that you cannot copy/paste between multiout and non-multiout unit; - fixed (standalone): in Song or Chain mode, playback sometimes skipped several beats when jumping to the next pattern in a song; - fixed (user patterns related): modifying a pattern inside one AU in the shared user patterns base sometimes did not update these changes to the other currently loaded AU; - other minor bug fixes.

- bug fixed in AUv3, which could lead to incorrect state saving/restoring when using several instances of GR-16 inside one host project; - fixed: pattern started to play incorrectly when you paste a copied pattern during playback.

In this update, bugs fixed in AUv3: - incorrect AU parameters were displayed in the available parameters list (in AUM); - value jog was behaving incorrectly in the Pattern List selection mode; - Mute buttons on the mixer page sometimes worked incorrectly; - when freezing a track in Cubasis, all the parameters and the pattern itself were reset to the Init state; - sometimes when Cubasis puts GR-16 offline and its parameters stop responding (e.g. when GR-16 track is Muted), it shows corresponding message now; - Midi Learn setup was not saved/restored correctly.

- Midi Learn is now working inside AUv3 the same way it works in standalone. Midi Learn setup is unique for each AUv3 unit and saved with the unit state; - new: note key and chord name labels are now displayed on top of Pads when in Keys or Chords mode; - some of the skins were slightly modified, light font style added; - standalone: removed annoying slide animation when opening Mixer page; - some serious bug fixes.

- fixed in AUv3: multi-out bus configuration and certain settings were not saving with audio unit state; - fixed crash when doing "Delete All User Patterns" or "Export All User Patterns" functions; - AUv3: now in Trigger mode you can trigger all the pads using two octaves of a single midi input channel (as in standalone); - fixed in AUv3: undo history was cleared every time after closing/reopening unit window; - iPad Air (4th gen) screen layout bug fixed in standalone; - minor bug fixes.

In this 2.0.1 version: - a quick fix for the Midi Note Off event in AUv3; In previous major 2.0.0 update: - Introducing AUv3 support! Now you can use fully-sized GR-16 Audio Unit inside any AUv3 host with almost the same functionality, as in standalone version (excluding chain, song mode and some export functions); - Midi In and 16-channel Midi Out support for AUv3; - Multi-output audio unit is also included. Use up to 8 assignable audio busses (incl. Master bus)! - new: import samples and folders directly from Files.app dialog for both Standalone and AUv3; - "User" folder is renamed to "Samples" and moved to the top of the folder list for user convenience; - some factory Bank A patterns were improved/replaced to sound better (A32, A37-42, A71); - lots of bug fixes, because main parts of sequencer engine were rewritten from scratch.
