Holding the simplicity of a rare 1979 instrument and carrying its raw heritage to you, it turns your device into a pocket beat making companion.
| New version | 2.0 |
| Old version | 1.21 |
| Release Notes | Version 2.0, the drum machine moves into the studio. **Audio Unit (AUv3)** Load the DRM into GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis or Logic: its front panel appears in the host, its tempo follows the transport, its state is saved with the session. Seven separate outputs — the mix and each instrument group — and fifteen automatable parameters. **MIDI** Every hit goes out as a General MIDI drum note to your other apps, your MIDI interfaces, Audiobus and the Audio Unit host. The channel is set in the settings. **Audiobus 3** Updated to the latest SDK: audio port, MIDI port, remote Start/Stop triggering, and the machine's state saved in your presets. **Bluetooth foot switch** New: connect a Bluetooth LE MIDI pedal from inside the app, pick it, and teach it the Start/Stop command. **Mac version** The app now runs on the Mac, included in your purchase: a window in the machine's own proportions, menus, keyboard shortcuts, knobs you turn with the scroll wheel or trackpad. **Built-in settings panel** No need to leave the app any more: every setting is gathered in a panel in the machine's own colours, one tap on Settings away — effects, muted instruments, matrix indicators, tempo and volume display, MIDI, foot switch. On iPhone the sections stay visible at all times and each page fits the screen, with no scrolling. The iOS Settings remain available and in step. **And also** Output limiter: no more clipping on busy patterns. Pinch to zoom and two-finger panning. Haptic feedback on the pads. On iPad the machine follows the device's orientation and stays fully visible in portrait. No data collected. |

Castamatic is the app to listen to podcasts on any iOS device.
| New version | 14.0.2 |
| Old version | 14.0.1 |
| Release Notes | Version 14.0.2 - On iPhones with iOS 18, the app showed an empty screen after the launch screen. The library now shows again. - When you resumed playback after a pause, the Lock Screen sometimes showed the title and the progress but no artwork. The artwork now always shows. Version 14.0.1 - On iPhone, after you opened and closed the transcript or the chapters, the menu button in the player stopped responding until you closed and reopened the player. It now always works. Version 14 - Share a moment of an episode as a video: pick the start and the end on the waveform, preview it, and choose a vertical, square or landscape format. The video shows the artwork and the waveform, plus captions when the episode has a transcript. The vertical format goes straight to Instagram Stories. Find it in the player menu for downloaded episodes. - Premium: choose which chapters to hear. Turn off the chapters you don't care about in the chapter list, and playback skips them for you. - Premium: undo your last action. For 10 seconds you can take back a skip, a chapter change or an accidental "Listened". - Chapters for episodes that list them only in the show notes, as lines with a time and a title. - Smarter auto-download: "Skip Titles Containing" in Podcast Settings keeps episodes with the words you choose from downloading. - The player opens and closes as a card that grows from the mini player or from the episode row. Show notes, chapters and transcript open full screen, with the artwork colors of the player. - A podcast's episode list and the search details panel take the color of the artwork. Search genres are now a compact list with tinted icons. - The loaded episode shows its progress as a fill behind the whole row, and rows show the time left or the duration. On CarPlay, rows show the duration, and Now Playing opens at the first playback. - Podcast lists ignore leading articles such as "The" when sorting by name. - Native iOS swipe actions on episode rows, and the close button of panels is now on the left. - With Reduce Motion on, animations become dissolves. - Restoring a backup now asks what to do with your iCloud data: replace it with the backup, or keep it. Your other devices pause and ask before they take the new data. - A new activity indicator shows the real progress of OPML import, restore, export and sync. - OPML import no longer freezes the app with large libraries and no longer creates duplicate podcasts. - A backup, an OPML file, an audio file or a feed link opened while the app is closed now actually opens. Before, the app only launched. - Updating many podcasts at once sends at most one notification per podcast, and none for podcasts you don't follow. - A podcast opened from search without subscribing no longer marks its old episodes as played. - iCloud sync resumes where it stopped with very large libraries, and tells you when iCloud stays unavailable for more than a day. - When an action you started fails, the app now tells you instead of doing nothing. - Many bug fixes and performance improvements. |
