What's New in Jacquard

1.3.0

September 15, 2026

The Tile panel has a keyboard on it, the fifteen rows of a sound sit under six headings, and the visualizer traces the channel you are working on. This release is about reaching a control without reading the whole panel to find it. NEW - A keyboard for a note's letter, on the Tile panel where the Note bar was. A key sounds the note as it lands and sets the letter without carrying into the register, so the Octave bar under it is the only thing that moves a note between octaves. - The channel you are on, drawn over the mix. Select any lane of a channel and the visualizer traces that channel's own share of the output brighter over the top of it. IMPROVED - The Sound and Lock panels run under six headings instead of fifteen rows in one list, and a row no longer repeats the heading above it. The gate ratio sits beside the transpose now, since neither of those is about the timbre. - A note's length drags in twentieths of a step where it moved in quarters, which reaches the lengths between the ones the grid already puts under your hand. - The Swap steppers hold still while their digits change. - Stage Mode takes the Swap group off the Channels panel as well. It was the one control left on a screen set to play that writes the score. CHANGED - The row of twenty-four voice slots is gone from the visualizer. It was a line of bars twitching out of step with anything you could hear, and it cost the synth work on every buffer whether or not it was being drawn.

これは素晴らしい。トラッカーアプリでは無いがトラッカーアプリの様に没入して取り組める。画面デザインも落ち着いていて好きです。音が本当に良いです。FM音源ですがモダンなFMです。最近のiosアプリは音源方式に関わらず似た様な出音の印象ですが、これは何だかグッときます。機能も面白い。リアルタイムでエフェクトをかけて演奏出来るのも面白い。今の時点で名作になるのは確定です。AUMで外部と連携出来るようにして頂けたら嬉しいです。素晴らしいアプリ!
