What's New in DroneSynth
1.3.1
October 27, 2026
What's New in Version 1.3.1 Made for landscape • Every drawer now fits on screen in landscape, without scrolling. Same controls, laid out more neatly. • Open drawers hang down over the keyboard instead of squeezing it, and the keys they leave uncovered still play. Hide the keyboard • A new Keys button beside Drone hides the on-screen keyboard, giving its room to the knobs and drawers. Tap it again to bring the keyboard back. Smoother to play • Knobs grab your finger the moment you touch them, so they turn even inside a scrolling drawer. • Naming and saving a preset no longer causes clicks or dropouts in a drone that's playing. Better starting points • The filter starts at 12 o'clock, and double-tapping it takes it back there. • The ARP starts slower: 80 BPM, quarter notes, random order. Double-tap RATE to return to 80. • MOTION opens on the controller, and new motions are timed in seconds by default.
