What's New in Tating
1.3.0
September 5, 2026
The drum names read as names Down the left of the grid, each row is now its initials beside a slim stripe of its color, instead of a filled block. A filled block is a solid shape sitting in a page of notation, which is exactly what a note looks like. The names are quieter now, and the notes are the only thing filled in. A Holidays filter The library's filter row has a Holidays chip, so the seasonal grooves are one tap away instead of somewhere inside the styles. Clearer about what you are buying On the purchase card, the unlock and the Holidays pack each sit above their own button. They used to be two descriptions above two buttons, which left you to work out which went with which.
