Dropbox Support is Coming Soon

We're pleased to announce that the next version of Symphonix Evolution will include support for Dropbox!

Dropbox makes it possible to create a shared folder on your Mac or PC, and access it seamlessly from inside Symphonix Evolution.

After the app has been linked to your Dropbox account, the shared folder looks and works just like the iPad's local storage so you can save or load MIDI or Symphonix Evolution files directly to Dropbox.

In version 1.87 you'll see a new button on the File Open and Save screens that allows you to switch easily between "local" and "Dropbox" folders.

With Dropbox you can save a file in Symphonix Evolution and immediately open it on your desktop PC for further editing.

Let us know if you have any ideas for other features you'd like us to add to the app in version 1.87, and we'll see what we can do!  (Version 1.87 is currently scheduled to be released in February 2012).

Symphonix Evolution continues to improve...

Well, we've been busy over the last few weeks!  Firstly, a second small update to version 1.86 is waiting for the App Store review process.  1.86.2 fixes a number of small issues with notation as well as some bugs with time signature changes.  It also adds a few small enhancements:

• The new Track Summary view now has "Play" and "Stop" buttons so it's easier to hear the changes you make.
• We've added a button to the Track Preset selection so it's possible to hear the instrument sound at time of selection (this feature was inadvertently removed in version 1.85 and we've made sure it's back)
• A new "Soft MIDI Thru" mode has been added to the Settings screen.  When this mode is turned on, received MIDI input is automatically sent to the MIDI output on the channel of the currently selected track.  This allows a MIDI controller to act as an input device for a separate MIDI output device.

You should see 1.86.2 some time in the next week or so, depending on how long it takes to be reviewed.
