PHASE Connect

PHASE Connect 2.0 - the studio is one screen. STUDIO and PLAY were two tabs, each with its own counter, transport, tempo and timing controls. Now there is one of each, always on screen, and a single TRACKS / PLAY switch changes the bottom half of the page. - One counter, and it never stops. The position and the count-in read the audible time, so the number agrees with what you hear. - The lane you pick in the timeline is the lane the keyboard plays. Pick it once. - Two bars along the bottom - TRACK and SESSION - read out the state they open, so most of the time you don't need to open them. - SET TEMPO FROM THIS TAKE: tell it how many bars your take is and the session tempo becomes the take's own tempo, to the hundredth of a BPM. Tempo nudges in hundredths now, so the click can sit on a groove that isn't a whole number. - The keyboard and the pads are bigger - they took back the space the duplicate controls were using. - REC arms the track you can see instead of rolling with nothing armed, and CLICK is a real on/off switch on the transport. - MIXDOWN, STEMS and SEND TO PHASE can no longer slide off the bottom of a short screen. - Dragging a take no longer grabs its neighbour, and dragging is smooth instead of sticky. - DESTRUCT asks before it replaces a part. Quantize, patch and instrument save the moment you set them. - A new icon. - CHART MAKR UNISTEM: a new TOOLS option on the CHART tab. Tick it and the drum chart writes the whole kit as one voice, so a hi-hat, snare and kick on the same beat hang off one stem. Off by default. The ROAD MAP is free forever. The six notated charts are one $9.99 unlock, restorable on every device on your Apple ID. Connect is free.
