LayR for iOS (iPhone/iPad) is a powerful multi-timbral Synthesizer that has grown in the latest 1.3 update with a new macro control panel, workflow improvements & more.
Living Memory Software released recently an update for the excellent LayR multi-timbral Synthesizer for iOS. The new version features a brand-new macro control panel, a lot of workflow improvements and many bug fixes. To celebrate this release, I give away 2 promo codes this month on the official SYNTH ANATOMY Patreon page!
Overview
LayR is a massively polyphonic, multi-timbral synthesizer for iOS devices, optimized for modern 64 bit CPUs and capable of delivering up to 256 voices of rich, multi-layered and textured sounds. LayR’s primary sound components are called Performances where a Performance is a set of Instruments and each Instrument is a set of Layers and each Layer is a complete synthesizer. A performance can consist of any number of instruments each with its own MIDI channel and crossfading keyboard span. Each Instrument can consist of any number of Layers to a maximum of 128.
New In LayR V.1.3
- Macro Control Panel: A new panel that lets you change assigned synth parameters globally across an entire performance.
- Link Assign Panel now has an extra section for assigning Layer parameters to Macro controls.
- You can now assign any MIDI controller to Instrument Volume Sliders. ( defaults to cc 7 ).
- Load Preset panel now updates it’s selection if a MIDI bank or program change is received while it’s visible.
- New option in settings: Don’t Start Voices When Volume is Zero: Prevents voices being started if Instrument or Layer volumes are zero.
- New option in settings: “Multi Out: FX Only in Stereo Output”, converts the IAA Stereo Mix output to an effects return if any of the 8 aux audio outputs are in use.
- Dials will now always show at least 1 degree of coloured arc unless their value is equal to zero.
- Increased fall time for peak hold metering in master strip.
- Updated PDF manual.
Bug Fixes
- Common crash during audio unit initialisation.
- Crash when long pressing on A to B range buttons.
- Potential crash when saving performances if poly aftertouch is assigned.
- Audio Unit now respects all persistent preferences set in the IAA app.
- An audio spike when an AU is loaded in a certain state from a host. Could cause a loud reverb explosion.
- A rare problem where an AU host could start to load a preset before the Audio Unit had completed initialisation.
- Current bank is now properly set when selecting a bank in the load preset panel.
- A state where MIDI controller values for the CC Mixer would fail to be loaded from a saved preset.
- UI crash when tapping on AB-Range modifier tempo button after previously setting time to maximum ( 100s ).
