0.12.0 is out - the sequencing and modulation release. Tools for writing parts, shaping them with modulation, and recording the takes.

The headline: a chord track for whole progressions, a polyphonic step sequencer, three new modulators, deeper automation, and take recording with comping.

Chord track:
  • A dedicated track that lays out the whole progression as named chord blocks, each with its own MIDI voicing
  • Set root, quality, extension, octave, and inversion per chord, and transpose the whole thing at once
  • Save progressions to the library to reuse anywhere, or drag suggestions in from the Chord Engine
Poly Sequencer:
  • A polyphonic step sequencer with up to eight notes per step, so it plays real chords
  • Keyboard mode and an x0x-style drum mode whose lanes follow a downstream Drum Grid
  • Per-step gate, tie, velocity, and probability, Time Bend built in, plus an AI pattern agent
Three new modulators - Random for stepped or smooth noise, an ADSR envelope triggered by your notes, and an envelope follower that makes one track move a parameter on another, with high-pass and low-pass detection filters.

Automation:
  • Tempo automation as a curve in the master band, so the song speeds up and slows down along the curve
  • Master-channel automation alongside other edit-scoped targets
  • A new hard-corner curve type and a point inspector for typing exact values
Takes & comping - loop record keeps every pass as a take. Expand the take lanes and swipe in the best of each to build a comp. Audio and MIDI, the same workflow.

Audio to MIDI - right-click an audio clip and transcribe it to a MIDI clip of the detected notes.

Also:
  • Named timeline markers and a song navigator minimap
  • An optional seconds ruler and per-project settings for length and render format
  • Refreshed track headers: icon buttons with tooltips, a three-state input monitor, and the chord track's mute, solo and monitor folded into one Silent/Audible/Solo audition control
  • DAWproject import and export, fold the MIDI editors to the notes in use, and the usual fixes
