Heat Synthesizer 1.0.2 released

Heat Synthesizer 1.0.2 has been released on Google Play, Amazon & Samsung Galaxy Apps.

The Google version has been updated from version 1.0.1 and fixes corrupted WAV files when recording.

Updates for the Amazon & Samsung stores were quite outdated already and therefore lacked features that have been added in the past to the Google version. The Amazon version has been updated from 0.8.6, Samsung Galaxy Apps version has been updated from 0.9.8.

From now on, all builds are meant to be a similar as possible. However, the Samsung version is the only version for the moment that has Soundcamp support and has no native 64 bit support.
The reason for that is, that Soundcamp has no 64 bit support and will fail to load the required libraries from Heat if it supports 64 bit, therefore I removed 64 bit support for now and removed Soundcamp support for the other versions.

Heat Synthesizer supports Samsung Soundcamp

Heat Synthesizer is available at Samsung Apps and supports Soundcamp, the new realtime audio sequencer available for Samsung devices as part of the new Samsung Professional Audio system.

Samsung Professional Audio supports low latency playback and inter-app audio- & MIDI communication as well as support for a high variety of USB interfaces.

Soundcamp will be officially presented at the Samsung DevCon 2014:

At the moment, Soundcamp supports the new devices Note 4 and Note Edge. Older Samsung devices might be supported as well in the future.
