Kestrel Write

Welcome to Write 2.7 MUSE & SONGWRITING CRAFT - Craft Blueprint Badges: Muse now formulates a songwriting blueprint (rhyme scheme, meter target, phonetic motifs, and imagery arc) in a sleek, collapsible Craft Blueprint badge with syntax highlighting and one-tap copy. - Dynamic Context Starters: Muse synthesizes context-aware prompt suggestions calibrated to your active section (Verse, Chorus, Bridge), musical key, and BPM tempo with fluid hover scaling. - Enhanced Lyric Prosody: Gemma 4 / Muse co-writing engine updated with richer phonetic variety, rhythmic scansion, and genuine songwriting craft. VOCAL TAKES (BETA) - Section-Synchronized Recording: Capture and audition vocal ideas locked directly to your arrangement sections with automatic backing track cueing and live recording timer feedback. - Dual-Seek Waveform Scrubbing: Real-time waveform visualizations for each take with interactive scrubbing that keeps vocal sketches and backing music perfectly synchronized. - Mix Balance & Latency Calibration: Dedicated Vocal Take Volume slider and millisecond-accurate sync offset tuning (-1000 ms to +1000 ms), both featuring instant double-tap resets and tactile haptic feedback. - Take Organization & Starring: Star your favorite takes to keep them at the top of the section, tap any take to give it a custom label (e.g. "Lead Vocal", "High Harmony"), and delete unwanted takes with safety confirmations. - iCloud & Sandbox Portability: Robust background storage with CloudKit asset sync discovery and relative path resolution, keeping vocal audio sketches safe and consistent across devices. SONGWRITING CANVAS & LYRIC TOOLS - Phonetic Rhyme Inspector: Non-intrusive floating inspector sheet providing instant CMU phonetic breakdowns (stressed vowels and coda sounds) with tabs for Perfect, Slant, and Multi-Syllabic rhymes, plus 1/2/3+ syllable length filters. - Dynamic Rhyme Density: Live rhyming density badge with animated warm/cool transitions and flame micro-animations when your rhyme density exceeds 40%. - Syllable Scansion Pacing Meter: Live section median tracking with visual delta indicators and musical phrasing advice tooltips on rhythmic outliers. STUDIO NAVIGATION & WORKFLOW - Quick Studio Switcher (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K): Spotlight-style command palette to search and jump between songs, navigate directly to sections, toggle Zen Focus Mode, or open studio settings with smooth keyboard scrolling. - Tactile Hardware Controls: DAW-style Dry/Wet Rotary Knob with radial detent markings, mouse scroll wheel step adjustments, and haptic clicks. - Precision Waveform Scrubber: Visual loop region markers and precision hover tracking with hairline cursor and indicator head dot in the audio transport panel. - Library & Task Flow: Project list tiles with smooth selection transitions, BPM pill badges, and audio waveform glyphs, plus animated checklist tasks with refined strike-through styling. PERFORMANCE & SPEED - O(1) Instant Rhyme Lookups: Pre-indexed phonetic rhyme buckets and memoized dictionary caching deliver instantaneous rhyme queries without UI stalls. - Snappy Search & Typing: Pre-indexed search keys and isolated repaint boundaries keep 120Hz scrolling smooth and responsive during long writing sessions. THE LITTLE THINGS - Localized relative autosave indicators across all 36 supported languages. - Keyboard shortcuts reference updated with the Quick Studio Switcher. - Edge-case bugs resolved, dialog registries synchronized, and studio polish applied throughout.
