What's new
What changed in the app, newest first.
1.5
- Beat lamps on the pad stage: when a set has a click track, the display panel keeps the Metronome lamps for the whole set, so the pads stay still between songs. A backing track gets a taller waveform.
- Practise one song from the library with the green play button on each row. A click track asks whether to open in the Metronome view or on the pads. The Edit button opens the song record.
- Pedal keys act on key-down only, so a held or bouncing pedal no longer flicks play and pause or skips songs.
- The stage is lighter: it no longer rebuilds the screen many times a second or writes to the database while it is up. Dim Flashing Lights and Reduce Motion now cover the cue light and the beat lamps.
- Sheets with unsaved work, such as Paste setlist or a new click track, ask before they close.
- Better VoiceOver support and larger text sizes across the stage, library, setlists and Settings. Restore shows progress and errors.
- Keyboard shortcuts: ⌘N for a new setlist, ⌘, for Settings.
1.4
- Bands: file songs and setlists under a band. Pick one at the top of the sidebar and the library narrows to it. Each band has its own click level and click defaults. Bands are in the free version.
- Live tempo on click tracks: nudge the tempo by 1 BPM while the click plays, and the change lands on the same bar and beat. Time signature, subdivision, sound and count-in still need a stop. Backing tracks play as recorded.
- Cover art comes back with Look up song from Apple Music and is stored on the iPad, so the stage never needs a signal to show it.
- With the pad lock on, Next and Previous cannot end a playing song. That includes a page-turner pedal.
- If outputs go missing, click and track fall back to outputs 1 and 2 instead of going silent, and the stage tells you.
- In a setlist, any slot can carry its own note, its own tempo and a gap before auto-advance, with a countdown on the stage. The library song stays as it is.
- Share the running order as text or a printable PDF for the band.
- Library: sort, filter, select several songs at once, skip duplicates on import, and point a missing song at its audio again.
- Back up the library to a plain folder and restore it without overwriting anything.
1.3
- Long-press any song in the library to open it on the stage alone, armed and ready. Nothing plays until you hit Play. A normal tap still opens the song record.
- Unlock on the Metronome is a two-position slider. A tap will not flip it mid-take. Play locks it again.
- The tempo wheel sits recessed on a rack plate. The lamps sit in their own well.
- While the click runs, a scan line sweeps the lamps. That motion respects Reduce Motion and Pulse.
- Fixed Pulse beat-movement when Reduce Motion was off.
1.2
- Full-screen Metronome without building a setlist. It does not use a free-tier song slot.
- The stage starts LOCKED so a stick cannot retune the click. Play locks it again after unlock.
- Beat lamps, meter, subdivision, sound, count-in and ending are on the stage.
- Tempo still waits for stop. Live tempo while playing remains deferred.
- Optional Apple Music lookup for a title, artist and tempo when you tap Look up song. It stays off until you ask.
