Big ThumbJam update

Lots of new stuff in the latest release of ThumbJam. So heavily requested items in there too.

Metronome and Looping Updates

• Metronome added with a selection of sounds
• Set tempo directly or tapping
• Specify number of beats per bar
• Fixed loop length option lets you specify ahead of time how long of a loop you want to record in bars.
• More lenient timing when ending loops

MIDI and OSC live output
You can now use ThumbJam as a MIDI or OSC controller over wifi for software instruments or midi sequencers on your computer. Look at the Prefs->Remote Control page to enable these features. For the MIDI output you will need to the DSMIDIWiFi server software on your Mac/Windows/Linux PC found at http://dsmi.tobw.net to receive the MIDI data. For best results connect your device and computer using an ad-hoc wireless network directly between them. See the forums at thumbjam.com for more detailed instructions, and for a description of the OSC messages sent.

Other Updates

• New Viola instrument to round out your string quartet
• Split-screen ability increases playable note space while also allowing for independent setting of key and note range per side.
