What Is New in 2.0

Turn a Pattern into an arranged Song, record audio and instruments, then export the result.

From groove to Song

Version 2.0 keeps the 12-voice Pattern groovebox and adds an eight-track standalone Song workspace. Combine saved Patterns, audio recordings, and hosted AUv3 instruments, then shape the arrangement with clip editing, track processing, automation, and mix/stem export.

This manual covers version 2.0.0: iPhone/iPad build 42 and Mac build 43. The Mac build has the same musical feature set with a native Song-grid appearance refinement.

Understand the libraries

  • BANK is a global collection of reusable Patterns and clips. A Song stores its own arrangement and copies of placed material.
  • A Pattern placed into a Song is a snapshot. Editing or deleting the global library item does not silently rewrite the arranged copy.
  • The sound library contains 125 factory choices: 116 sampled sounds plus nine modeled kick/tom choices. Existing factory grooves and your own samples remain part of the Pattern workflow.
  • Song projects, Pattern/clip banks, legacy groove presets, and each voice's ten sample slots serve different purposes. Export a complete Song package when backing up an arrangement.
