Scale rows and roots stand out across themes. Piano gains pitch and beat guides, mixer nameplates become compact, and tools and MIDI capture respond clearly.
Changed
Highlight Scale distinguishes scale pitches, roots and other notes in Notes and Steps, with theme-aware colors and clearer Fold/Scale button states. Guide →
Piano shows faint pitch separators and adaptive bar/beat lines that follow time-signature changes. Guide →
Mixer icons sit beside compact track names. Short mixers allow vertical scrolling instead of cutting off controls and nameplates. Guide →
Fixed
The tool selector opens from Piano and Mixer; choosing a tool returns to Arrangement with the choice active. Guide →
Capture MIDI skips empty armed tracks when another armed track has notes. The button explains how to capture when empty and returns to Arrangement after creating the clip. Guide →
Fixed a native startup crash when restoring an effect before its audio input was connected. Unconnected inputs now stay silent until their channel buffers are available. Guide →
Grid, transport, metronome and workspace buttons share the zoom controls’ height, borders and theme colors. Follow uses a centered vector arrow.
Changed
The Grid selector matches the zoom controls in height and appearance while keeping enough width for Smart, Bar and note divisions. Guide →
Metronome, Follow, transport and workspace buttons use the same neutral and pressed-state styling as zoom. Play and Record retain their recognizable status colors. Guide →
Follow’s arrow is centered independently of font metrics. Grid snapping behavior and the metronome’s settings remain the same. Guide →
Header and tool-menu contrast is corrected across themes. Mixer channels have clearer borders, a subtle raised surface and a track-colored name and icon area.
Fixed
Zoom buttons and active header views use solid active fills with contrasting icons. Neutral controls remain readable on Logic's light toolbar and the other built-in themes. Guide →
The arrangement-tool menu uses panel text colors instead of toolbar text, including its selected, hovered and explanatory text. Guide →
Changed
Mixer channels have distinct borders, subtle depth and a clearer selected state. Their main controls stay neutral. Guide →
Each mixer channel's bottom name and icon area follows its track color, including Master. Palette changes update the strip immediately and support Undo. Guide →
Piano moves to the header with compact overlay settings. MIDI editors expose the full pitch range and share scale filters and focused note muting.
Changed
Piano opens as a full workspace from the header beside MIDI Keyboard. Its button mirrors with the other view controls when track headers move to the right. Guide →
Piano settings start closed in a compact overlay. Time Scale, Note Width and Transpose support vertical dragging and typed values. Guide →
Notes and Steps share Fold and Scale filters. Steps offers all pitches across octaves without Add Row or per-row mute and solo buttons. Guide →
Press 0 to mute selected notes in Notes, or the selected pitch row in Steps. Arrangement track mute stays separate from editor focus. Guide →
The note inspector uses labeled rows, clearer loop timing labels and collapsible advanced sections. Guide →
Fixed
The Piano keyboard fits on first opening; the settings no longer push it out of the panel. Guide →
Falling-note labels stay small and inside their blocks on Retina displays. Guide →
The MIDI clip keyboard uses distinct black and white keys with readable scale highlights and vertical scrolling. Guide →
Imported audio keeps its original timing by default. MIDI editing, synth graphs, key labels, and theme colors receive focused fixes.
Added
Soundstream: a dark studio theme with phosphor accents, cream readouts, navy device headers and muted track colors. Guide →
Fixed
Unstretched audio retains its full duration after project-tempo changes, with both stereo channels preserved. Guide →
An explicit BPM label in an audio filename takes precedence over an estimated tempo. Tempo-following imports use Stretch. Guide →
Waveform zoom now enlarges quiet details in loud imported files as well as recordings. Guide →
The key label fits independently of whether the BPM has two or three digits. Guide →
MIDI clips follow the song scale, including highlighted keys; explicit clip overrides remain independent until Song is selected again. Guide →
Synth envelope, LFO and filter graphs respond to their relevant controls. Velocity-device magnet controls also refresh the graph. Guide →
Logic, PURPL, Avid and Fruity colors follow the supplied references across the toolbar, mixer and button states. The Mac title bar follows the selected palette. Guide →
Changed
New audio imports default to original-speed playback. Existing clips keep their chosen processing mode. Guide →
One click in empty piano-roll space adds a note. Drag to choose its length; Shift-drag selects notes and Escape cancels drawing. Guide →
The Velocity lane starts closed and can be opened from the MIDI editor toolbar. Guide →
A new illustrated guide, simpler key selection, and MIDI regions you can draw directly with Pointer. This is a development-build record, not a public installer announcement.
Added
An illustrated user guide with workflow chapters, stock-device controls, and permanent version pages. Guide →
Contextual links from Info, the Help menu, and device manuals to the full website guides. Guide →
Pointer drag creates a region in empty MIDI-track space, with a live preview and boundaries that respect neighboring regions. Guide →
Changed
Root note and scale share one panel. Apply commits both choices together; Cancel leaves the project unchanged. Guide →
Piano now lives in the bottom detail panel alongside Clip, Plugins and Notes. Guide →
Legacy Shift+number workspace pages, Shader Toy, and the separate tap-tempo page have been removed from workspace navigation. Guide →
The app footer links directly to the notes for this build. Guide →
Fixed
Grid hover help explains Smart, Bar, Off, fixed divisions, and triplets. Guide →
Drawing cancels cleanly with Escape and keeps existing MIDI regions available for ordinary selection and movement. Guide →
This history begins with build 20260920.19. Earlier development work is described in the guide; it is not presented as a series of public releases. Development builds are not public installers.
