Piano Solo Studiov1.1.0

Released September 28, 2026Major

iOS

The latest major update focuses on technical stability and feature expansion for the Music category. While the resolution of iPad freezing and recording bugs provides a stable foundation, the impact of new chord modes and social features remains unmeasured due to a lack of trend data. The current release maintains the established baseline rating.

What didn't

no evidence
Insufficient data exists to confirm user adoption or satisfaction regarding the four new chord modes.

Marlvel takeaways

Monitor user feedback on the new piano key sinking animation to ensure the visual redesign does not introduce input latency.
Verify the stability of the new MIDI and multi-format export system to ensure the fix for session playback effects holds across all file types.
Assess the adoption rate of the Face to Face mode to determine if the social feature drives increased session duration on tablets.

Original release notes

New: four chord modes. Autochord, with major and minor chord strips above the keyboard; Dual Piano, with two keyboards; Face to Face, so two people can play with the tablet flat on the table; and Chord Pads, with a chord grid next to the keyboard. Everything you play in any mode is recorded, played back and exported to MIDI, MP3, OGG and WAV with the full chords.

A renewed piano: new keys that sink when you press them, a strip showing the whole keyboard to move around and see what is playing, a new pitch wheel, clearer effects and an instrument picker sorted by family.

Fixes: the screen no longer freezes on iPad, recordings are no longer cut after one second, and sessions play back and export with their effects. You can also change your privacy options from the settings.
