Current Version: 2.3330
Released: January 07, 2012

What's New

[2.3330 is a patch release. It puts the More button back in place on iPad. Some users found swipe down too difficult. Also, it didn't work in slide over and side-by-side. While we're here, we've also fixed some defects and made some small enhancements to keep things working well.]

Welcome MIDI Designer users to our 88th update, version 2.3300!

Our Product and Engineering Teams went through the user requests and took no prisoners (i.e., we implemented a lot of stuff).

*** Enhancements That Make More Things Possible ***
• MIDI Message Feedback is now possible: see midiDR.com/qa/9524 for more details
• Randomize Subcontrol: have any subcontrol switch to a random value on button press
• Enable/Disable Button (midiDR.com/qa/8783): allow a control (or subcontrol) to be turned on/off dynamically
• Shorter "Snap to Value" times for returning to default or snapping subcontrols to a value (midiDR.com/qa/8908, thanks 5din)
• Allow for wider labels and add option for bold Multiline labels

*** Other Enhancements ***
• On iPad and iPhone, Swipe Up and Swipe Down will no longer interfere with your performance
• iPad: finally, a better fix for 3-dots More-button issue since iPadOS 15. Now swipe-down to access More menu
• Mac: allow virtual MIDI ports to be enabled/disabled
• Mac: lots of enhancements and polish including a fix for the glaring window-size issue
• Mac, iPad, iPhone: Open layout from Files menu when App is not open is fixed
• And many smaller enhancements, fixes and under-the-hood changes prepping for the future of MIDI Designer

Thanks!
MIDI Designer Team
