Everything is still free

The on-screen keyboard plays chords, there is a recorder, and the output no longer spikes on big chords. Thank you to everyone who has written in with reports and requests: nearly everything in this release came from your feedback. - The on-screen keyboard holds chords. Play as many notes at once as you have fingers, where on iPhone it managed only one at a time - New octave buttons above the keys reach the whole range, so no part of the keyboard has to be dragged into view - A limiter keeps chords and loud patches from slamming into the ceiling, which is most noticeable on headphones - Record what the app plays and share it as a WAV, from the new key beside Play - Recording captures the performance rather than the monitoring level, so a quiet volume setting still gives you a full sounding file

Every memory pad now starts loaded with a real DX7 voice instead of a blank placeholder, so there's something to hear the moment you open the app — no Volca required. - All 64 memory slots pre-fill from the bundled factory ROM on first launch - Tapping an empty pad opens the patch catalog instead of doing nothing
