Version 1.2.0 [March 30, 2026]
- The “Garbage-Fi” sampler engine released for iOS was actually an alpha slicing engine. In this release, we have fixed that engine
(now called Phase Slice). It works basically the same, but we have fixed the behavior when slicing starts and stops, which is in line
with the original intent. If you had presets, turn the WINDOW parameter off completely to get the sound you want.
If you had start and end points other than the default, the preset may sound different. We apologize for the oversight. - Added Phase Stretch sampler engine.
- Added a true Garbage-Fi sampler engine.
- Drum triggers from MIDI inputs now use sequencer step values.
- Added global option for muting: “Mute” (previous behavior: instantly mute/unmute track)
or “Mute on Trigger” (wait for drums to end, don’t trigger drums on new triggers). - Added global option to reset sequencer tracks in TRIG or RETRIG mode when restarting playback or before rendering.
- Added “Load random sample from same folder” option to the samples menu.
- Added “Clear all sequencers” option to the presets menu.
- Fixed clicks and pops when opening the interface.
- Fixed a crash when using MIDI notes to change presets on iOS.
- Fixed an issue where Probability parameter results would get stuck in loops.
- Fixed a rare sample rate issue where samples would play at a high rate in saved projects.
- Added new presets from Useful Noise, mleuc and Bank Tonsur.
Version 1.1.3 [not released, 2025]
- Double-clicking (or tapping) on a sequencer parameter step resets the value to default (e.g. Pitch, Velocity, Rattle).
- Fixed a crash when dragging a drum track onto the Voice/Performance button at the top of the channel selector.
- Fixed a graphical issue where hovering over the Voice/Performance button would highlight it, which could cause the settings to reset.
- Fixed an issue where the Clap mechanism would not work.
