What's New in VinylScratch
1.4
September 28, 2026
What's New in 1.4 HEATMAP WAVEFORM See the frequency content of your track at a glance. The waveform colors each bar by spectral energy — bass glows red, mids green, highs blue. Smooth gradient transitions with ±16 peak averaging eliminate harsh color banding. Toggle heatmap mode from the overview strip button. DJ CONTROLLER JOG WHEEL Full jog wheel support for USB DJ controllers. Map jog rotation and platter touch to scratch — velocity-sensitive with adjustable sensitivity. Touchless mode for controllers without touch-sensitive platters: scratch only works when the track is paused, with automatic start/end detection (150ms timeout). CROSSFADER REWORK Completely redesigned crossfader with realistic center-based behavior. Center position = full volume, right = cut. Two curves: Smooth (linear fade) and Cut (sharp edge with adjustable width). The CUT button moves the fader right to mute; in REV mode, the fader rests at the right and CUT brings it back to center. Visual fader shows a dimmed inactive zone on the left half. MIDI IMPROVEMENTS - Improved device connection detection via CoreMIDI source tracking - Screen stays awake while a MIDI controller is connected - Streamlined MIDI settings UI BUG FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS - Fixed disc scratch direction (clockwise = forward by default) - Fixed detail strip seek behavior (tap jumps, drag scrolls relative) - Performance improvements
