sculpta fifth mode on the right arc, and the only one that plays the chord hand’s instrument: arp rate, envelope stretch and glide, beat-synced tremolo, grit, and a spread that opens the voicing across the register, with space on reach and colour on the open wrist. every aspect latches, so a sound survives a trip to the drums and back.
drumsthe beat is no longer five switches. one pinch finger per family of the kit (kick, snare, hats, toms, which are new) and the wrist says how present that family is, climbing from silence through ghosts to fills that answer across a four-bar phrase. the grid on the plate is the same generator the scheduler plays, so what you see is what will sound.
bassfour performed aspects instead of presets: density, chord tones, octave jumps and feel, one per pinch finger. feel reaches past the grid to tresillo and gallop, the top of the tones ladder walks the beats themselves, height is the filter’s resonance and reach is how hard the kick ducks the line.
vertical takesrecord a 720x1280 sheet for a phone, the wide one, or both at once. the tall plate is a re-composition rather than a crop: full-width camera, its own mode panels, and a trail of the last few seconds of the lead. a phone held upright now performs on it.
layoutone setting replaces the clean-feed and light-plate switches: plate, light plate, or open. open is the new default, with no bands at all and each mode panel drawn only while the hand it belongs to is working.
v1.1
settings menuevery deep control now lives in one panel with tabs for chords, melody, sound, camera and recording. the rail keeps the live essentials, and each of its cells explains itself on hover.
chord matrixpick the exact chord for every cell of the spice grid: any quality from the full library, plus a pinned bass note per cell. the flipped hand gets its own matrix, and any cell resets to auto.
theremina new free-glide lead voice. no grid, fractional pitch all the way, and exactly in tune at the lane-centre ticks.
pinch voiceseach of the four melody pinches is its own instrument: saw, square, flute, theremin, acid, pulse, glass or brass, with grid snap on or off per finger.
chord snapchords can land on the next 8th so the grid absorbs camera latency, or sound the instant you pinch. your call, in settings.
light platethe camera now fills the whole frame by default: the dark bands drop to a scrim and every line of type stays. the full-ink plate is one switch away.
roll readoutsboth wrists’ roll values stay printed on the plate, so a parameter survives its hand leaving the frame.
camera recoverya blocked camera now says how to unblock it, and in-app browsers (instagram, tiktok and friends) are told to open a real browser instead of failing silently.
