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.

FAQ
What is Jacquard's main feature?
Jacquard's core feature is its experimental tile-based music sequencing. Instead of traditional tracks, users arrange notes and commands by placing tiles on a 2D grid to build evolving patterns.
How does Jacquard handle polyrhythms?
Polyrythms are easily created in Jacquard by assigning different step lengths to individual lanes. Each lane can run independently, allowing for complex rhythmic interplay over a common tempo.
