It adds a slew of new features, making the app more fun, more playable, and more strange. There are now selectable scales and modes, a fat key option for those of us with fat fingers, and there’s a new wave keyboard overlay mode that lets you play by touching the wave, selecting pitch and granulation position simultaneously, with four-voice multi-touch. Check out the video below to see it in action!

The previous update gave us iPhone 3GS (and iPad) compatibility as well as a vocoder-like live granulation mode. Now MegaCurtis adds new visuals and an improved control interface. A single touch will control granulation position and filter cutoff, while a second touch lets you drag position modulation rate and depth settings. This setup is far more expressive than that of the previous version, but do drop a note below if you’d like to see a different control scheme.

On the iPhone, Curtis Heavy now uses file sharing through iTunes, ditching the peculiar browser upload. It still uses the first four seconds of your WAV file. Curtis on the iPad has had some major memory fixes, so it handles large files far better than before. Great news, finally enabling crash-free access to the awesome included library by Richard Devine. Sorry it took so long! Enjoy the grains.

This is most ill-timed, and we apologize. A fix is in the works!

UPDATE: the iPod-loving version 1.1 has been submitted to Apple on Nov. 9, and should be available within a couple of weeks!

In the meantime, Slice will reportedly work on your iPod if a headset with a microphone is plugged in.
