Layr 1.3 iOS Synth Released With New Macro Feature

Living Memory Software has released LayR Version 1.3 to the App Store. This release of the multitimbral synthesizer fixes all known bugs and introduces a new feature: The Macro. The update is free for existing users. 

The Macro Panel is a level above the instrument mixer and is used for globally adjusting parameters in the entire multi- instrument Performance, taking LayR's MIDI control to a whole new level.

• Macro Control Panel: A new panel for changing 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 ).
