More room to compose, new ways to perform, and editable song backups.
- Motion Live: Move your watch to play notes or drums. Hold Down for a continuous roll, or Up for a temporary higher octave or alternate drum-kit variation. Compass input falls back to tilt when unavailable.
- Loop or Song: Loop the pattern you are editing or play the arrangement from bar one. Continuous streaming carries playback across steps and patterns, with clearer editing/playback status and bar-boundary mode changes.
- Vibration rhythms: Compose an independent 16-step watch vibration track in each pattern. The phone editor now has a direct Vibration tab; pattern copy, clear and Undo include the track.
- Four-octave synths and mixed drum kits: Both piano rolls span C2–B5, with scrolling, octave navigation and Jump to notes. Choose Classic, 707 or 909 independently for each percussion lane.
- Read songs from the watch: Retrieve all four patterns, sounds, vibration tracks and arrangement for explicit review and use in the phone editor. Revision checks protect newer watch edits from stale phone saves.
- Editable song backups: Export/import complete Song JSON, copy it with one button, and keep up to eight named songs on the phone. Recovery checkpoints protect previous work before replacement.
- Listen and create WAV files: Audition the current song or a reviewed version without changing the watch. Export an approximate mono WAV, with download and supported sharing options.
- Faster composition: Copy patterns, rotate drum lanes, transpose synths, duplicate/repeat/move arrangement sections, and review seeded drum variations before applying them. Queue a one-bar fill on the watch without rewriting the arrangement.
- Clearer phone Settings: Drums, Synths, Vibration, Sound and Song tabs; arrangement before audio; contextual audio controls; explicitly named reviewed versions; separate backup, saved-song, recovery and troubleshooting groups.
- More dependable saves: Better interrupted-save recovery, persistence retries, separate Begin/completion confirmations and retained phone drafts. Failed arrangement writes remain visible until recovered.
Browser audio approximates the watch rather than reproducing it exactly. Vibration and live Motion/XY/Pad performances are not included in WAV audio. Phone storage is not an independent backup; export important songs separately.
