New Features and Changes

  • ability to set and Modify static Held keys in Resonance
  • numerous bug fixes and some optimizations to Resonance; it should perform better than the initial release
  • Sostenuto pedal support
  • Keymap "toggle" mode; essentially, noteOff messages are ignore, so keys become switches
  • Keymap "sostenuto" mode; the sustain pedal behaves like a sostenuto pedal
  • Scala tuning format import (SCL and KBM) (big thanks to the Surge folks (Tuning Library and Tuning Workbench Synth) for their open source library and their assistance getting it integrated with bitKlavier)
