You read my review (maybe), now I'll just let the words of Blip tell you whats being added to this awesome portiDAW.
pDAW?
I really don't think that will catch on.
Numerous people have been asking about when the V1.2 update will be ready, and quite rightly so! I wasn't giving a date because I wasn't really sure myself. The good news is that I will get the last major function done today (processing samples offline using the effects) and then I'm left with some tidying up and a whole lot of testing and manual work - a lot has changed!
Once the basic tests are out of the way I'll be releasing a V1.2 beta for Windows and OSX, which I expect will be late next week (about 5th May). This allows anyone to try out the new version and help find problems or give any feedback before the iOS version is submitted. If any programmers or other anal types are keen enough to get involved in some more detailed beta testing (a few have mentioned it in the past) then let me know and I can dish out some more detailed checklists to run through.
If that goes OK then hopefully I can release it to Apple for testing around the 12th of May.
Here's a list of what's made it in (I've probably forgotten a few things):
In-app purchase to upgrade 6 to 16 instrument tracks
Configurable instruments on each track (TRG or Eden), mixer has its own track
Up to 4 sequencer tracks per instrument (up to 64 sequencer tracks in total)
Retina display support for iPod/iPhone 4
Supports launching and purchasing other audio copy/paste apps via the Sonoma compatible apps list
Sequencer track mute/solo, quantize down to 1/64, quantize event length and end as well as start, view grid without snapping
Configurable mixer with volume/pan automation and up to 3 insert effects per bus (input, send or output)
New effects include compressor, 3 band parametric EQ and Lo-Fi (bitcrush/decimate) setting added to Waveshaper
Offline processing of samples through an effects chain using the sample editor (with undo)
Better mixer VU meters and accurate clip detection algorithm for final output stage
Better 'picker' for choosing controller events in the pattern editor, note events can now be seen when editing controllers
Eden loads samples ahead of time, so preset changes are ready when they're needed
Increased instrument polyphony
Tempo/time sig available from main menu
New 'click only during record' setting
Tidied up UI
Bugfixes (more to come):
Autobeat missing during first count in
Autobeat recording notes incorrectly if received via MIDI input
MIDI file import/export improvements, time signature now correct
Sequencer relocates to next earlier whole bar when recording starts
Fixed crash when pasting sample files exported from BM2
Things that didn't make it in but not for want of trying:
Mixer - Mute/solo buttons (not enough time but also not enough room)
Sample loop points
Sample editor - Time stretch/pitch shift/autotune
Email support for MID and NSP files
... and some screenshots, probably not quite final
