What's New in Drone Meditations
1.1
July 3, 2026
New in this version: - Automation Timeline. A new AUTOMATION pill opens a per-patch sequencer. Schedule chord progressions, fades, waveform/sample switches, level and mute changes, and LFO rate/depth moves at bar + beat positions. Chord changes transpose your voicing — so layered drones keep their character — and positions are tempo-relative, so changing the BPM rescales the whole phrase in proportion. Loop a passage a set number of times, or let it hold until you stop. - Automation setups. Save a timeline under a name and load it onto any patch later — a reusable library of favorite progressions and modulation builds. BPM & metronome in the header. The tempo readout and metronome toggle now live in the always-visible top row — no more hunting through the master strip, especially in iPhone landscape. - Fixes: presets always load cleanly (no settings carry over between patches); imported presets keep their automation and the correct key/mode. The free web app at dronemeditations.com has the full Automation Timeline too, so patches animate identically on the web.
