Releases & changelog

Added

• Display stays awake while a deck is playing.

Fixed

• SYNC now locks to the master deck's real tempo when it's pitched, instead of its original BPM.

Changed

• Grabbing the pitch fader or BPM buttons on a synced deck hands control back to you.

Added

• Relative cues: hold a hot cue and jog to set a cue a few beats off it, like dropping 8 beats early.
• Beat Jump: a new pad tab for 1, 2, 4, and 8-beat jumps.
• Resample loops: record a run of jumps into a loop you can play back, with filter, EQ, and FX moves captured and replayed each pass.
• Deck colors now come from the album art, shifting as you load tracks.
• A true isolator EQ mode, where killing a band removes it completely.
• The controller BACK button switches between deck and library views.
• Shift plus the controller's selector zooms the waveform.
• Connected controllers show up in Settings.
• macOS builds run on Apple Silicon.

Changed

• Sharper waveforms, with cleaner beat markers and stronger downbeats.
• Loop length shows on the waveform as you set it.
• Loop regions draw on the overview strips too.
• Only one loop is active at a time.

Fixed

• The "Steep" crossfader curve could cut all sound.

Added
