This is a bugfix release to address problems with the integrity of exported MIDI files. We've been using FretPet with the Alesis IO Dock and our favorite iPad synthesizers, and it's been a lot of fun. To make this experience better for everyone we're working on improved MIDI options and file export for one of our favorite new sequencers, SunVox!
This release fixes some critical issues, including a startup crash, problems with guitar tuning selection, Kagi registration, and "Interesting" console messages in Lion and Mountain Lion. This release is recommended for all users.
This maintenance release fixes an issue with reversed controls in 10.7 Lion and a minor bug in the animation code that may have caused application instability. We're hard at work on completely new and modern versions of FretPet for Mac and iPad, so stay tuned!
The classic guitar-based music sequencer just gained a few extra sounds. 98 additional GS Instruments are now available with the built-in DLS Synth. For this major update we've improved overall quality and stability and fixed issues with French and Italian localization. This release also fixes "Error -18077" which could appear with certain audio device drivers. And it works great in OS X Lion!
<p>This update brings incremental improvement to this classic sequencer and restores support for some older Macs. If it used to bug you that playback animation was braking for dialogs, as of this version playback and animation continue no matter what else you're doing. We've been messing with our build settings again, so everything should feel a little more responsive.</p>

<p>This update is the first with 100% reliable chord naming, bringing FretPet into parity with ChordCalc 1.1.1. The chord naming code was audited (by feeding its output into the name input of ChordCalc and comparing the result to the original chord). Two issues affecting certain 13th chords were discovered and patched.</p>
<p>FretPet 1.2.4 adds keyboard shortcuts to the Filters menu, fixes an issue with playback being interrupted by menus, and now includes Sparkle to automatic check the internet for version updates. Also fixed Kagi Registration module connection problem.</p>
<p>Recent scrutiny of ChordCalc's notation code continues to push FretPet forward. This update brings FretPet's chord notation up to par with ChordCalc 1.0.3.</p>
