bs-16i v5.0.5 by bismark LLC

The v5.0.5 update addresses a key functionality bug where the “Adapt Coarse Tuning to Note Number” setting was not applied in real-time within the app, and the modified value was not reflected in AUv3 instances. This ensures smoother workflow for users adjusting tuning parameters on the fly.

Key changes in v5.0.5 include:

  • Fixed “Adapt Coarse Tuning to Note Number” not applying immediately in the app
  • Ensured changed tuning values are properly used in AUv3 mode
