The following table lists all past Napo releases and gives a preliminary
preview to upcoming versions. For each version there is a list of known
bugs and a reference to the version where a bug was fixed. Bugs that
are not fixed even in the latest Napo version are emphasized by red
colour.
Napo Version |
Description |
Apps built with this Napo Version |
1.0 |
Features:
- Single view.
- Uses iOS GUI elements (segmented controls) for all
buttons.
- Listens to all MIDI channels.
- Listens to wireless MIDI also.
- Three (hard-coded) demo pieces.
- 44100 Hz sample files are included in the application
bundle. 22050 Hz files are created by downsampling and saved in
the documents folder.
- Four reverb types (None, Short, Long,
Real).
- The achievable polyphony depends on the iOS device. Up to about
100 voices with 44100 Hz or 200 voices with 22050 Hz on an iPad
2.
- Tailored to StrandOrgan, but with generalization in mind.
Known issues:
- The Real reverb is cut at repeated notes (because pipes
= voices). Fixed in version 2.0.
- The artificial reverbs (Short/Long) are
disappointing. Improved in version 3.3.
- Faulty handling of sysex messages that are split to several
packets, leading to annoying "Illegal status" errors. Fixed in
version 3.3.
- No lowpass filter is applied when the 22050 Hz
samples are created. This won't be fixed because using the
low-quality settings does not make sense with current devices
anyway. Furthermore, artefacts that can be heard in the low
sample rate settings are rather because of bad loops than because
of the missing filter.

StrandOrgan 1.0
released 2011-12-16
|
2.0 |
New features:
- Redesigned sound engine, e.g. pipes ≠ voices.
- Shorter startup time (data is loaded by a background
process).
- Multiple views: Console,
Recorder, Demo,
Gallery, Settings,
About.
- Authentic and Abstract console style.
- Audio recorder for WAV files which can be accessed by iTunes
file sharing.
- Three additional demo pieces.
- Image gallery.
- On-the-fly Pitch shifting.
- MIDI channel selection.
- Wireless MIDI can be deactivated.
- Better detection when MIDI adapters are connected or
disconnected.
- Downsampled files are saved to a cache folder and thus can
be deleted by iOS in case of SSD space shortage.
- Downsampling is done by a background process.
- German localization.
- Still tailored to StrandOrgan, but with structural changes to
prepare for other organs.
Resolved issues:
- No more cutting of Real reverb
Known new issues:
- Pitch shifting does not work well with sample rate 22050
Hz. Improved in version 3.3.
- When the sound is overdriven during a recording, then a click
can be heard in the recording. Workaround: Make sure that the
volume is not too high before you start the recording. If the
damage has happened already, use Audacity's repair function to
remove the click. Fixed in version 3.3.
- The recorder does not capture iOS reverb. Fixed in version 3.4
- When a recording is being finished, sometimes
the Recorder view displays "0.0s" as the
recording's duration. This is because the system was not done
with writing the WAV file when the view controller asked for the
data. The correct value is displayed when you leave and re-enter
the Recorder view. Fixed in version 3.0
- It is assumed that the documents directory is not
changed while the Recorder view is open. So
please do not manipulate the directory via iTunes filesharing
while using the recorder, otherwise strange things may
happen. Fixed in version 3.4.
- Changing the sample rate while a recording is selected in
the Recorder view can result in an error message
"The operation could not be completed". Fixed in version
3.3.
|
StrandOrgan 2.0
released 2012-04-07
|
3.0 |
New features:
- Redesigned sound engine, e.g. ranks grouped by windchests to
support tremulants and (future) windpressure simulation.
- Shorter startup time (MIDI initialisation is done by a
background process).
- Couplers.
- Tremulants.
- Voices display and overload display can be deactivated.
- Converting recordings from WAV to M4A.
- E-mailing recordings (up to 10MB file size).
- Submitting recordings to other apps which have registered
to handle WAV/M4A files.
- Background operation (with 15 minutes timeout).
- Virtual MIDI.
- More internal generalization.
Resolved issues:
- The Recorder view now shows the correct time
after finishing a recording.
Known new issues:
- The tremulant simulation is anything but
euphonic.
- Moving the volume slider while playing can lead to overload and
crackling noise. Fixed in version 3.2.
- Stops Off releases tremulant knobs, but it does not turn
off tremulants. Fixed in version 3.2.
- Couplers are not transitive, i.e. they don't
'couple through'. This is for some organs not the correct
behaviour.
- Using the Stops Off button can lead to internal data
corruption, a breakdown of the tone generation and the need to
restart the app. Fixed in versions 3.0.1, 3.1.1 and 3.2.
- There is a nasty bug in the Recorder view:
Create two recordings, select a recording, tap the cross to
deselect the recording, select the other recording, and the app
will crash. Fixed in version 3.3. It is shocking that this issue
stayed unnoticed for several months.
- The mail compose view does not rotate when an iPhone / iPod
touch is used in upside-down mode. Fixed in version 4.0.

OttOrgan 1.0
released 2012-07-12
MenzelOrgan 1.0
released 2012-07-26
|
3.0.1 |
Resolved issues:
- The data corruption bug of the Stops Off function is
fixed.
|
OttOrgan 1.1
MenzelOrgan 1.1
released 2012-09-10
|
3.1 |
New features:
- New looping algorithm for the downsampled files. (✶)
(✶) After downsampling, which is done simply by taking every
second sample frame, the loops must be corrected to remove
clicks. The old algorithm selects as new loop end that position
between the old end and the release start which minimizes the
Euclidean distance of the value (elongation, slope) between the
positions loopstart-1 and loopend. This worked quite well for the
previous samplesets, and it resulted in longer loops, which is
always a good thing, but it failed for many files of the Piteå
sampleset beta 1, partly because of the harmonic richness e.g. of
the sound of the Mixtur rank, partly because there are glitches
between loop end and release start in some WAV files (e.g. at
position 2.55 s in HVMixtur/051-E.wav). The new algorithm keeps the
loop positions and performs a linear crossfade between the end and
the start of the loop.

PiteaMini 1.0
released 2012-08-06
|
3.1.1 |
Resolved issues:
- The data corruption bug of the Stops Off function is
fixed.
|
PiteaMini 1.1
released 2012-09-10
|
3.2 |
New features:
- The number of playing voices is displayed in the rightmost
segment of the view selection and hence is visible in all
views.
- The overload warnings are displayed semi-transparently above
the view selection and hence are visible in all views.
- New load display (a colored horizontal bar) above the view
selection.
- Reduced memory consumption of the Gallery
view, to allow more and larger images.
- Convolution reverb (only a rough approximation).
Resolved issues:
- The data corruption bug of the Stops Off function is
fixed.
- No more overload and crackling when moving the volume slider
while playing.
- Stops Off releases tremulant knobs and turns off
tremulants.
Known new issues.
- Sometimes the Console view is not updated
anymore. Supposed cause: Bad thread management and timing
problems. Probably also existent, but not showing up, in earlier
versions. Workaround: Switch to Abstract view, then return
to
Authentic view. Fixed in version 3.3.
|
Jeux d'orgues 1.0 (iPad)
released 2012-10-16
|
3.3 |
New features:
- On-the-fly transposing by up to ±6 semitones.
- A slider for controlling the pitch shifting. Because of the new
transposing function, pitch shifting is now only up to ±100
cent.
- Volume control via MIDI (controller Bn xx vv), globally and per
windchest.
- All notes off via MIDI (controller Bn 7B).
- There are now three instead of just two iOS reverb
presets. Furthermore, the user can manipulate all internal
parameters of the reverb Audio Unit and save a user preset.
- High-quality convolution reverb (with a set of impulse
responses of Fokke van Saane). Needs iPhone 5 or iPad 4 to
handle impulse responses longer than 1.5 seconds at 44100
Hz. iPad 4 can handle about 4 seconds.
- User can set buffer duration (23/12/6 milliseconds).
- Adaption for iOS 6: Support for upside-down operation on
iPhone.
- Support for improved capabilities of A6 and A6X processors to
get higher performance on iPhone 5 and iPad 4.
Resolved issues:
- The presets for the iOS reverb are greatly improved.
- Pitch shifting is now done with cubic instead of linear
interpolation, which gives a better sound quality in particular
at 22050 Hz.
- Improved thread management.
- Changing the sample rate (as well as the buffer size and reverb
type) is prohibited while the Recorder view is
in play mode.
- Recorder view crash bug is fixed.
- MIDI sysex message bug is fixed.
Known new issues.
- When the Show Voices and Background
Operation options are set and you switch to another app while
voices are playing, then when you return to the Napo app it still
displays the same number of playing voices even if all voices
have stopped to play. The voices display is updated only when you
continue to play. Fixed in version 3.4.
- With iOS 6, when you hold the device upside-down,
then the WAV-M4A conversion progress bar window is displayed in
the wrong orientation. The same is true for the detail window
that you get when you tap the accessory button right to an entry
in the demo pieces list (in StrandOrgan and Jeux d'orgues
Mini). Fixed in version 3.4.
- The new buffer size setting is only half-baked. It configures
the time interval used by iOS to request audio data from the
app, but the pitch-shifter uses another buffer for getting data
from the organ engine. This buffer has the fixed size of 512
samples (12 ms at 44100 Hz, 23 ms at 22050 Hz). Fixed in
version 5.18.
- At cold-start of a Napo app, the app does sometimes get stuck
in the initialization phase and, after a few seconds, will be
terminated by iOS. This is caused by a racing condition in the
startup process of Napo's audio system which can lead to a
deadlock. The problem maybe existed in earlier versions,
too. Fixed in version 3.5.

Resolved issues:
- The correct number of voices is displayed when an
app returns from the background.
- Upside-down operation does now work for the WAV-M4A progress
display and the demo detail view.
- The documents directory is watched for changes.
Known new issues:
- Toggling tremulants via MIDI does not work. Fixed in version
3.6.
- Because of changes in iOS, using the combination system leads
to an application crash in iOS 7. Fixed in version 3.6

New features:
- Display of hardware sample rate and actual I/O buffer duration
in the Settings view.
- Audiobus support (Audiobus library version 1.0.1.3).
Resolved issues:
- No more hiccups at cold start of a Napo app.
Known new issues:
- Changing the sample rate while the sound is routed to Audiobus
leads to distorted sound. Workaround: Select the sample rate
before you connect the app to Audiobus. Fixed in version
3.7.

PiteaMini 3.0
released 2013-08-01
Jeux d'orgues 3.0 (iPad)
released 2013-08-07
|
3.6 |
New features:
- Additional post-amplification for iOS reverb (with overdrive
protection).
- Settings view asks for confirmation when user
requests to delete all recordings.
- GLYPHICONS for the tab
bar.
- Configurable artificial latency (for practising purposes),
displayed in time (milliseconds) and distance (meters).
- Audiobus library version 1.0.2 (ready for iOS 7).
- Support for samplesets with sample rates other than 44100 Hz
(for using the Kalvträsk Church sampleset beta 2, which has 48000
Hz, in StrandOrgan 5.0).
Resolved issues:
- Toggling tremulants via MIDI does now work.
- Combination system adapted to iOS 7.
Known new issues:
- Crash when the convolution reverb is used while another is
running that fixes the sample rate to a value that is not a
multiple or factor of the sample rate of the Napo app. Mostly
Napo apps that are based on a sample rate different from 44100 Hz
are affected (currently only StrandOrgan 5.0). Preliminary fix in
version 3.7..

Resolved issues:
- Changing the sample rate while connected to Audiobus
does now work.
- Convolution reverb is deactivated in case of sample rate
conflicts that lead to buffer sizes which are not a power of
2. This is a preliminary bugfix to prevent crashes.

StrandOrgan 5.1
released 2013-10-10
|
3.8 |
New features:
- Monophonic bass (for playing pedal stops via the lowest
pressed manual key).
Known new issues:
- If the monophonic bass is enabled, you can get stuck notes if
you change stops while the organ is playing. Fixed in version
4.0.
|
PiteaMini 5.0
released 2013-11-27
|
4.0 |
New features:
- iOS 7 / 64 bit support, but maintaining compatibility to iOS 5
and iOS 6.
- Reduced RAM requirements and (even) quicker startup (by halving
the streaming buffer sizes)
- Simplified editing of combination banks and combinations.
- Improved convolution reverb.
- User can upload impulse responses for the convolution
reverb.
- Support for blower noise, keys noise and knobs noise (for
sample sets that include this).
- User can restrict the note range of MIDI channels. This allows
to set a split point even with a MIDI keyboard which does not
have split functionality. This can be used e.g. to play pedal
pipes in the lowest manual octave.
- Support for screen keyboards.
Resolved issues:
- Mail compose window rotates when used in upside-down mode on
iPhone / iPod touch.
- The sample rate of impulse response files is independent from
the app's sample rate.
- No more stuck notes with monophonic bass.
Known new issues:
- When background operation is activated in the app settings, the
app ought to get suspended if it is sent to the background and no
notes are played for 15 minutes. This does not work if knobs
noise is activated in the settings and stops are active, or if
the wind noise is active. Fixed in version 4.1.
- The latency setting ought to act only on the pipe
sound, but it also affects the keys and knobs noise.
- Internally, virtual keyboards are treated like MIDI
keyboards which send on the channels that are configured in the
MIDI settings. This means you need to set different MIDI channels
to get independent virtual keyboards. Fixed in version 4.5.

PiteaMini 6.0
released 2014-05-23
StrandOrgan 6.0
released 2014-05-29
|
4.1 |
New features:
- Audiobus 2 support (Audiobus library version 2.1.3, ready for
iOS 8). Dropped Audiobus support for iOS 5/6.
- Volume control for motor noise, keys noise, knobs noise
- MIDI velocity can be used to control volume of keys noise.
- Factory impulse responses can be deleted and reinstalled at any
time.
- To prevent accidental view switching, view switching is
disabled while keys are pressed in a virtual keyboard.
- Hold function for virtual keyboards.
- Options for overdrive control: Volume reduction (like before),
clipping, sigmoid transform.
- Stop settings are saved when the app is terminated, and
re-establised at the next start.
- Simplified design of virtual keyboards on iPad 1 (to reduce CPU
stress).
Resolved issues:
- Motor noise, keys noise and knobs noise are no more counted as
"voices". Motor noise and knobs noise do not prevent the app from
being suspended when it is running in the background and not used
for 15 minutes.
New known issues:
- Windchest-dependent volume control does not work. Only
PiteaMini 7.0 is affected. Fixed in version 4.2.
- Locked keys in a virtual keyboard are released when the
keyboard is being scrolled, the device rotates or the console
mode is changed. Fixed in version 4.3
- There is no visual response of the keys of a virtual keyboard A
when A is coupled to keyboard B and you press a virtual key of
B. This is not really a bug because not at all real organs the
keys of a coupled keyboard are moved by the coupling, but a
visual response is nice to have. Fixed in version 4.5
- On iOS 8, installed factory impulse responses
disappear when an app is updated. This is because iOS 8 breaks
symbolic links. Workaround: Reinstall the factory impulse
responses. Fixed in version 4.5.

New known issues:
- When saved settings are loaded in the Saved Settings view and
the app returns to the Settings view, the Settings view still
show the old values. This bug may have been there in earlier
versions also. Workaround: Switch the tabs in the Settings view
to update the display. Fixed in version 4.5.

switching tab bar icon and can be toggled by long-pressing this
icon.
- GUI: Updated Glyphicons to v1.9.
- iCloud: Support for saving combination banks, recordings and
saved settings to iCloud (iOS 7+).
- MIDI: Multiple channels for each keyboard / pedal with
configurable note ranges (e.g. for splitting or combining MIDI
keyboards).
- MIDI: Stops etc. can be controlled by program change
messages.
- MIDI: Support for MIDI over Bluetooth (iOS 8+ on devices
that support Bluetooth LE).
- Monophonic Bass: Changed behaviour. Releasing the lowest
key doesn't anymore trigger the bass for the second lowest
key.
- Monophonic Bass: Is now independent from MIDI settings.
- Settings: Saved settings can be displayed and loaded directly
by long-pressing the settings tab bar icon.
Resolved issues:
- Settings view controller shows correct values after loading
saved settings.
- For factory IRs, no symbolic links are used anymore.
- Virtual keyboards operate independently of MIDI settings.
- Virtual keyboards visualise keys that are activated by
coupling. (A small flaw remains: When a virtual key that was
activated by a coupler is being tapped directly, it ought not be
released, but it is.)
New known issues:
- The list of saved settings that you get after long-pressing the
settings icon is populated only if the Saved
Settings view was previously opened. Fixed in version
4.6.
- Under certain cirumstances, the app may crash when saved
settings are loaded (for example, when the reverb settings differ
and the reverb section of the Settings view is
selected). Fixed in version 4.6.
- The changed overdrive handling for iOS reverb does not work as
expected. Workaround: Reduce the app's volume if you hear
distortions. Fixed in version 4.6.
- On iPhone and iPod touch, the ABCDE combination buttons are
arranged like "ACBDE" instead of "ABCDE". Fixed in version
4.7.

New known issues:
- When the currents settings specify a MIDI switch
for a stop (coupler, ...), and you load saved settings which do
not specify a MIDI switch for this stop (coupler, ...), then the
current mapping for this stop (coupler, ...) ought to be removed,
but it is not. The user has to manually delete the mapping if he
wishes so. Fixed in version 4.10.

New features:
- The behaviour when starting and ending an audio recording can
be configured (ask for file name or save automatically, with
standard file name).
- 24 bit support for the audio recorder.
- Volumes of ranks can be configured ('intontation').
- Suspend/resume for demo pieces.
- When doing "Learn" for a MIDI button, the default mode is now
"Toggle On", as this is the most common case.
- Support for sustain pedals. (For those who like it.)
- As this seems to be more common, we now use the range 1,...,16
instead of 0,...,15 when presenting MIDI channel numbers to the
user.
- Recording can be started and stopped via MIDI.
- Support for Novation Launchpad MK2. The Launchpad could be used
in previous versions also, but now Napo can control its button
lights.
- Support for the Files app of iOS 11.
- Improvements in the memory management of the tone
generator.
- Audiobus updated to v2.3.3.
New known issues:
- MIDI button definitions created with previous versions do not
work. Fixed in version 4.12.
- Unsatisfying performance on older devices. Fixed in version
4.13.
- Unreliable Launchpad initialisation at startup and when
returning from background. Fixed in version 4.13.
- Sometimes an error message appears when a combination bank is
moved from the device to iCloud or vice versa. This can be safely
ignored. Fixed in version 4.13.
- In the list of saved settings that is displayed after
long-tapping the settings icon, the settings names are
unnecessarily prefixed by "Setting.". Furthermore, the list is
displayed only after the Saved Settings view was opened at least
once. Fixed in version 4.13.
- Combination banks table view: When a combination bank is
long-tapped the first time, then the app does not show the action
menu but opens the combination editor. Fixed in version
4.13.
- The combination banks list that is shown after long-tapping the
combinations icon is not sorted alphabetically (like in the
Combinations view). This also affects the selection of
combination banks via MIDI. Fixed in version 4.13.
- 24 bit recordings have a very low volume (and are in fact not
really 24 bit). Fixed in version 4.13.

Jeux d'orgues Mini 5.5
released 2017-07-21
|
4.13
|
Resolved issues:
- All remaining issues listed for version 4.11.
New known issues:
- The "Bank" button of the Console view does not work correctly
on iOS versions prior to 10 without iCloud Drive. Workaround on
iOS 8,9: Enable iCloud Drive. On iOS 5,6,7 there is no good
workaround, and the button works only after a change in the
combination system (e.g. an insertion of a bank or combination)
has happened. Fixed in version 4.17.
- In the Settings view, the Show Load entry does not display the
Show Load state but the Show Level state. This bug went unnoticed
for a long time. Fixed in version 4.17.
- A change of the sample rate is not processed correctly.
Workaround: After changing the sample rate, change the reverb
setting (and undo this change afterwards). Fixed in version
4.17.
