August 5, 2026
Build longer ideas without leaving the piano roll. - Sketch across four sections, then arrange them into a repeating chain. - Repeat sections in any order — for example A A B C — and switch sections without stopping the flow. - Stay in key with 12 scale choices, including major and minor pentatonic, blues, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, harmonic minor, and melodic minor. - Shape selected notes with quick velocity ramps or flatten their dynamics in one move. - Includes reliability improvements for MIDI file import. Riffpad remains local-first: no account, no feed, no tracking.
