I’m excited to introduce fantastic new features and improvements in this major release!
New in this release:
  • Introducing the Discover tab! Dive into a curated selection of high-quality educational drumming content for all skill levels. Explore various drumming techniques and genres through organized topics and sample beats. Save your favorite beats to your Downloads or copy them to My Beats for editing and creativity. This is just the beginning—more content will be added regularly. Please share your feedback to help us improve and provide the educational resources you want to see!
Improved in this release:
  • Changing subdivisions has never been easier! Newly designed to make updating only the current beat or all beats easier, the impacted portion of the measure is highlighted to make your composition experience delightful.
  • The time signature selection popover gets a makeover! In addition to the new look, the pulse for quarter note time signatures is also included. I wonder why that might be. Hmm…
Fixed in this release:
  • The sticking screen displayed the music notation incorrectly when a rest or note was played with the feet (kick or hi-hat) prior to notes played by the hands. This has been fixed and the music notation is rendered perfectly when applying sticking annotations to any pattern.
