Version History THANKS EVERYONE!
• FIXED: Long glide/portamento now returns smoothly from the current pitch position when releasing a held note, instead of jumping to the target note first. The other AudioKit synths will also get this fix. Thanks!

• IMPROVED: Mono mode behavior has been refined. Mono non-legato still keeps the musical analog-style response where released notes can naturally ring out, useful for Juno-style arp tails and long releases. Mono Legato now more strictly cuts off lingering release tails after keys are released, for a more traditional mono synth response.

• FIXED: A few presets could play with an unexpectedly fast LFO or "mystery vibrato" after loading or saving. LFO rates now remain consistent with the knob setting.

MORE FREE UPDATES and FREE PRESETS COMING SOON! 1.4.2 Jul 19 THANKS EVERYONE!
• IMPROVED: World Scales work better. The following scales are fine-tuned by experts: Chinese (Pentatonic), Çargâh, Hicaz Ascending (Turkish), Hicaz Descending (Turkish), Huseyni (Modern / Arabic), Hüseyni Ascending (Turkish), Hüzzam, Karcıǧar, Nikriz Ascending, Rast Ascending v1, Rast Ascending v2, Rast Descending v2, Saba (Arabic), Şedaraban (Turkish), Sikah (Arabic), Segâh (Turkish), Suznak [Basit] (Arabic), Pahadi Raga
• IMPROVED: LFO Timing
• Plus, lots of other small fixes!
COMING SOON: More Updates + Almost 200 NEW professionally made presets. It'll be a Free upgrade! 1.4.1 Jul 8 THANKS! Another Big Free Update. This app will get better & better!

Special thanks to Aram from TAQS.IM for the world scales!

• IMPROVED: Noise Oscillator Filter Tracking
Noise oscillator filter tracking now works properly. This may slightly change the sound of some existing presets, but the behavior is now correct and more consistent.

• IMPROVED: Scala File Import
Updated support for importing more Scala .scl files.
If you still have a Scala file that will not import, please email me: matthew@audiokitpro.com

+ Keep your arps, sequences, and external MIDI locked to a Western scale or go fully microtonal.

• NEW: Presets Save Their Key and Scale
Want Preset #17 to always load in Dm? Now it will. Save presets with the right key signature for songs, live sets, and performance patches.

• NEW: AUv3 State Saving for Tuning and Scale
Your tuning and scale settings are now saved properly inside AUv3 sessions.
• Tune Lock starts unlocked, so presets can load with their saved tuning. Tap the lock icon to keep the same tuning while changing presets.

• Microtonal Dice improved: In Microtonal mode, Dice chooses a random microtonal scale.
In Western mode, Dice keeps your current key, like Fm or C, and chooses a new Western scale around it.

• IMPROVED: AUv3 Stability: Fixes several edge case crashes and improves overall AUv3 reliability.
• IMPROVED: Noise Oscillator: The noise oscillator now has more hardware-like low end.

I’m working on making the app better and better. If you run into major bugs, you can email me directly:

Thanks! 1.2 Jun 13 THANKS! BIG UPDATE:

Note: In mono non-legato mode, this app intentionally allows analog-style single-note polyphony so releases can continue to play out naturally.
