What's New in Dawcade

1.0.4

September 17, 2026

Big parity update — every synth, play surface and game now matches the flagship design. • Flipper is back: the Orbit Riot pinball table — bumpers tuned to the chord, drop-target bank, ramp, rotor, four rollover chimes, multiball. • Fruit Machine gets its sculpted cabinet: marquee bulbs, reel glass, lever and button deck. • Radar and Orbits share one rhythm language: preset banks (33 drum grooves, 18 polyrhythms), four switchable scenes, patterns that persist with the channel. • Bloom is deep space now — stars, moon, a colour-spraying sweep line and planets for every tap. • Every synth detail screen redrawn with its live glass animations: pad, chip, noise, bell, physical, spectral, supersaw, granular cloud, wavetable frame browser. • Pinch-zoom in detail windows fixed; drum kit and bass no longer hiss on an idle channel. • Stability fixes from crash reports.

Aller beste App!

Diese App ist einfach der Hammer! So viele tolle Eigenschaften, man kann stunden lang drauf bleiben und neues entdecken. Die app übertrifft alle meine Erwartungen.

Keep an eye on this one

This app has a lot of cool ideas but it’s not very intuitive at all. I’ve been producing on iOS since the early days but either I’m missing something or this app is glitchy. That being said I could see this being really cool with a few more updates and an in depth tutorial.

Finally

So many drum beats to choose from.

Brilliant!!!

As an amateur musician, this is absolutely perfect to create and find new ideas. Highly recommend everybody who do not want to spend huge amounts of money in order to keep their ideas and records. Amazing pocket studio in your hands. Greetings from Land Down Unda, Cheers

I might have a new favorite DAW.

I try a lot of DAWs. Call it an endless pursuit of perfection, though it’s more like a fools errand. Some are practical. Some are complicated. Some are convoluted. This one is…. Fun. It’s fun to work in dawcade. The sound modules are simple, but offer a lot of range, and the sketch sequencer makes track writing completely non linear which is exactly what my adhd brain loves. I was able to wrap my head around the workflow in about 15 minutes, which is a plus. Honestly, I freaking love it.
