New feature

Open Warp for an audio clip from its context menu, the transport button or W.

Zoom stays anchored to the pointer; markers support multiselection, Alt bypasses Snap and Escape cancels a gesture.

  • A recorded take is one undoable edit.
New feature

Restore played MIDI from the Record button menu

recover up to ten minutes of recent playing, including while transport was stopped.

  • Clips retain their original tracks, pauses and relative timing and are placed from the current cursor.
New feature

MIDI Learn maps hardware CC knobs to instrument parameters.

Piano Roll exposes instrument parameter and MIDI controller lanes, including pitch bend, pressure and program change.

  • Parameter gestures during recording become automation.
New feature

The new Modulation Rack combines Chorus, Doubler, Flanger and Phaser in a serial chain.

Reorder modules by dragging or keyboard and bypass each independently.

  • A shared Filter & EQ follows the chain, with four bands, Low Cut and High Cut.

Full-screen mode restores the previous window size and state on exit.

New preferences control clip corners and choose Crisp or Smooth waveforms across the timeline, Warp and audio previews.

  • Piano Roll gains a project-wide MIDI clip selector including pattern clips, track or pattern audition, and an eraser tool. Right-button strokes can erase multiple notes.

Other changes

  • Chorus, Doubler, Flanger, Phaser and Doubler Pro have new card editors, illustrations, keyboard controls, presets and one undo step per gesture. Animations respect reduced motion and stop in hidden editors.
  • Modulation movement and intensity ranges have been expanded. Existing project parameters remain readable, but Chorus, Doubler, Flanger and Phaser can sound different from 0.2.4.
  • Settings now have section icons, descriptions and page headings. Plugin Manager brings together scanning, search, filters, filter reset, Ctrl+F and copying the selected plugin path.
  • Menus, dropdowns, plugin windows and fader grips have updated styling. Audio and group channel names stay consistent across the inspector, mixer and tracks.
  • Warp is stored in projects and respected by copying, splitting, trimming, BPM changes and export. Audio processing prints Warp once. This version supports ordinary local mono and stereo clips; comp recordings, sample loops and multichannel audio are unsupported.
  • The local project format is now version 9 for MIDI controllers and takes; older projects load with compatible defaults. As in 0.2.4, this Windows build ships without collaboration.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Piano Roll shortcut conflicts with arrangement tools, undo / redo, delete, duplicate and zoom. With the musical typing keyboard enabled, letter commands no longer fire over playing.
  • Fixed stuck MIDI notes on focus loss, device disconnection and input queue overflow. Loop-boundary notes split correctly while preserving channels, velocity and controller state; an empty final pass does not erase the previous pass.
  • Fixed tempo and position scrubbing at screen edges, reversal at value limits and fine adjustment with Shift. UI refresh no longer resets BPM input or splits a gesture into multiple undo steps.
  • A lost mouse release no longer leaves playhead, selection or numeric-field dragging active. The next pointer movement correctly ends the old gesture.
  • Mixer synchronization after renaming, grouping and undo / redo updates channel structure and send labels. New audio tracks and buses receive consistent numbering without duplicates after track removal.
  • Export source descriptions now distinguish selected tracks and clips. MIDI controllers and parameter automation play correctly in takes, patterns and offline rendering.
  • Modulation Rack smooths module bypass and effect-order changes; EQ reset synchronizes parameters for deterministic project restoration. Warp smooths rate boundaries and processing transitions.
