Version 1.1.2 - July 11, 2026
Record live audio and turn it into playable pads.
In the standalone app, record up to 30 seconds from the device microphone or a selected input on a connected audio interface. Watch the waveform and input level, then trim, adjust gain, preview, name, and save the result to a user-bank slot for any voice.
The 1.1 line also adds conditional steps, quantized live recording, Filter Pad performance, tempo-synced and ping-pong delay, and external MIDI output for pads and sequenced tracks. Version 1.1.2 improves USB audio routing, AUv3 state, MIDI, and real-time audio reliability.

Workflow
Sketch fast. Shape the groove. Export clean.
TEMPO-1 keeps the important drum-machine surfaces close: pads, step editing, kit shaping, mixer moves, MIDI control, and export. It is built for momentum first, with enough depth to finish the idea outside the sketch.
Groove shaping and live recording
Shape patterns with velocity, probability, conditions, micro-timing, ratchets, pitch, and quantized live pad or MIDI recording.
Conditional stepsRecord quantizeMicro-timingRatchets
Live sampling and resampling
In standalone TEMPO-1, record up to 30 seconds from the microphone or a selected audio-interface input, then trim, gain, name, and save the sound to a pad.

Pattern controls that stay close to the beat.
Keep the core rhythm decisions in reach while you build: choose the page, set the working length, shape velocity, and keep tempo changes visible without leaving the grid.
Step pages
Move through longer patterns without losing the beat grid.
Length16 / 32 / 64
Start tight, then open the pattern when the groove asks for more room.
Step feelVelocity + timing
Shape selected hits with velocity, probability, micro-timing, and ratchets.
BPM + swingFeel
Keep timing controls visible while the sequencer stays in focus.

Record, edit, play, resample.
Record from the microphone or a selected channel on a class-compliant USB audio interface, edit the take in place, and save it to a pad. TEMPO-1 also combines modeled voices, bundled samples, WAV import, voice bounce, live capture, and loop resampling so new sounds stay part of the beat-making flow.
