Step Sequencer: New Additive Mode
Additive Mode is here, making it faster to build and tweak steps.
Hold a step to toggle its notes using the keyboard.
Hold a piano key + tap a step to add or remove that note—without overwriting the rest of the step.
• Great for quickly adjusting drum hits or adding/removing chord tones inside a step.
• To fully replace a step, quick-tap to clear it first, then enter new notes.
Additive Mode is now the default. You can switch it in Settings → Interface.
Fixed: Incorrect playback behavior when clip speed was set to non-default values.
New
• Code module: A real-time programmable DSP block using a simple custom expression language + interpreter. Write code live while it plays, in buffer or per-sample mode, with a toolbox of filters, envelopes, and common DSP ops.
• Oscillator (PM) module: A classic subtractive oscillator with 4 waveforms, phase modulation, and precise sync, plus phase/beat-style detuning.
• Smaller projects: Drambo project files are now up to 4× smaller when saved without samples.
• Minimum iOS: Drambo now requires iOS 15 or later.
• LFO module: Added Random Walk mode.
• Sample view: New gesture: drag-up to zoom in, drag-down to zoom out.
• The audio unit list can now be sorted by name, or by usage frequency + name (default).
Fixed
• Fixed a rare crash during song rendering.
• Fixed rare double triggers in the sequencer.

- New version of Meta randomizer module. Works in 3 modes now: Gate random, Gate boolean and Drift. Drift may be used for instant polyphonic random modulation applied to many parameters.
Added: Macro oscillator based on the DSP of the famous Mutable Instruments Plaid eurorack module. 24 synth engines are available (VA VCF, Phase distortion, 6 OP FM A, 6 OP FM B, 6 OP FM C, Wave terrain, String machine, Chiptune ARP, VA, Waveshaping, FM, Grain, Additive, Wavetable, Chord, Speech, Swarm, Noise, Particle, String, Modal, Bass, Snare, Hihat) each accessible via 3 macro knobs. It also includes a built-in low-pass gate and decaying envelope, so it can function as a self-contained voice for plucky and percussive sounds. The Engine input is polyphonic. e.g. Connect poly knobs or Random module to the Engine input to get a different engine per voice.
Fixed: issues with odd clip lengths and time signatures.
