Known issues
- Some soundfonts may cause very loud pops during playback. This is an OS bug and can't be fixed in the app.
- The Now Playing widget sometimes gets out of sync. This is a bug in the OS and can't be fixed in the app.
- When pausing and un-pausing, notes that were interrupted by the pause will not be resumed. This is expected behavior.
- A track might sound out of tune after skipping through it. This can happen if the MIDI you're listening to uses lots of Pitch Bends and is expected behavior. Restart playback from the beginning to avoid this.
