What's New in Kit Manager

1.0.9

August 21, 2026

Wave tags are now editable. Rename any tag from the Change Tag sheet in the wave library, and your labels stay with that card — handy when the factory names don't match how you actually organize sounds. DEFAULT stays locked. Also fixed on Mac: the wave library no longer breaks its layout when the detail sidebar opens, and Change Tag now renders its options properly.

User reviews

Amazing app!

This app is way better than the on-board menus and first-party app. I finally have the confidence to reliably manage kits and wave files on stage during sound check. Well-worth the price.

Lightyears better than the stock SPD app

This truly is the best companion app for the SPD. It makes uploading and managing your tracks so much easier and has a lot of good bulk management shortcuts. I wouldn’t use the SPD without it. Well worth the 5 bucks.
