What's New

Program Change setting - for use with external synths to recall a specific patch via MIDI, this feature saves the specific program/patch number associated with the sequences. If you set this value, a program change message will be sent when the AU is first loaded up, when a new preset is loaded, or when the PC value is changed again in settings/midi. If it is left/set to "X" (the default, unset value) nothing is sent and things work like they always have.
Gate input detection improved - Fixed a bug with gate input. Please note that monophonic gate input is still required, only send one input note at a time, otherwise results are unpredictable.
Other small fixes

App Description

midiDREAMs is a MIDI AUv3 sequencer plugin designed to work like a classic analog-style modular sequencer with 16 virtual sliders and up to 64 steps per pattern. It requires a music app host that supports MIDI AUv3 plugins such as AUM, Audiobus, Loopy Pro, Cubasis, ApeMatrix, etc, and runs within those host apps. You can use it to sequence synth apps running on your iPad or external hardware synthesizers connected with MIDI.

Also included is midiDRUMs, a second MIDI AUv3 that is an x0x-grid style drum sequencer. This plugin should be used in host apps such as AUM, AudioBus, etc to sequence drum plugins and external drum machines.
