Stereo Synth-Output Capture
Record VA-1's generated stereo output while you play. Built-in capture records the instrument and its effects only; it does not use the microphone or record an audio-interface input.

Gillespie Audio + release notes
VA-1 1.2.0
Record VA-1's stereo output, export sequencer loops as WAV files, route MIDI to external instruments, and work more reliably with USB audio, AUv3 hosts, dense patches, and changing audio routes.
Current release
VA-1 1.2.0 (build 5) is available now on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

01 / Recording And Export
Preview, Save, Share, Or Delete
When a capture is complete, preview it inside VA-1, save the WAV to a location you choose, share it through the system share sheet, or delete it.
Sequencer-Loop WAV Export
Render the current sequencer loop directly to a stereo WAV using the selected preset, tempo, pattern, and effects. The export runs offline, so you do not have to record the loop in real time.
02 / MIDI And Connectivity
MIDI Output
Send notes from VA-1's keyboard or sequencer to an external hardware or software instrument. Input and output destinations, local playback, keyboard output, sequencer output, and MIDI Thru can be managed from the routing panel.
Routing And Safety Controls
The MIDI routing panel includes Test Note, All Notes Off, and Panic controls so you can verify a destination and recover quickly from a stuck-note or routing problem.
USB Audio Interface Status
VA-1 now reports the active audio route and responds more reliably when a class-compliant USB audio interface is connected, disconnected, or reconnected.
03 / Reliability Improvements
Audio And DSP Reliability
Improved behavior for dense chords, long release tails, demanding effects, rapid parameter changes, app switching, render gaps, and high audio-engine load.
MIDI And Sequencer Reliability
Additional safeguards reduce stuck notes and improve sequencer timing, external MIDI delivery, note cleanup, and route changes while performing.
AUv3 Reliability
Improved parameter automation, preset state, MIDI handling, audio recovery, and render behavior when VA-1 runs as an AUv3 instrument in a compatible host.
Performance and stability
Version 1.2.0 includes broad audio, DSP, MIDI, sequencer, routing, and AUv3 hardening. Recording and sequence export are built into the standalone app; when using the AUv3 instrument, use the host's recording and export workflow.
