Living Memory Software has updated LayR, its multitimbral software synthesizer for iOS, adding a new Wave Folder in the synth engine, 200+ new Instrument Presets and more.

Here’s what’s new in LayR 1.0.7:

• 200+ new Instrument presets from Brice.
• A brand new Wave Folding distortion effect inserted between the 2 filters.
  ( Wave Folder is only active then Filter 2 has input from Filter 1 )
• A new performance bank with a few Wave Folder demo presets.
• New MIDI activity indicators added to Instrument views.
  (The arrows on the MIDI transpose control now flash when MIDI is received.)
• New Voice Activity indicators added to all Mixer Strips.
  (Blue lights indicate voices are active for the Instrument or Layer.)
• Added Mod and Bend wheel controls to the keyboard.
• Added a “dark mode” for the keyboard:
  (The dark option can be set in the key edit view.)
• Added an “Initialise” button to the Load Preset views.
  (Resets instrument or performance to default settings.)
• Added an “Add Layer” button to Layer Strips in Performance view.
• Tapping on the host button in IAA transport now switches directly to the host app.
• In some IAA hosts LayR will now appear in it’s own “Living Memory” category.
• Added copy & paste filter1 to filter2 and vice-versa in the layer clipboards.
  (To access clipboard on iPad, long-press on the background in the editor).
• Instrument & Layer: Increased transpose limit from 36 to 72.
• Renamed LayR’s main mix output to “LayR Main Stereo”.
