Tyler Quatraro has updated Prism, currently available for $19.99 with various optional in-app purchases that unlock various features within the app.
What’s new in version 2.04:
- Advanced Swing – Long press the Swing parameter in Track Select to explore hundreds of swing profiles. Works with Euclidean sequences too.
- Ghost Notes – Set velocity to zero to place ghost notes. They don’t trigger any sound but can hold parameter locks. Pair them with the Euclidean sequencer to carve out empty space in your patterns.
- Step FX Snapshots – A new snapshot grid makes it easy to recall Step FX presets. Long press the Step FX icon on the GUI screen to access it
- Time Machine – Prism now silently captures your state every 15 seconds (configurable in Device Settings), storing the last 16 snapshots. Hold Shift and press Undo to jump between them – instant undo/redo.
- External MIDI Pipe – Open a separate MIDI connection for Launchpad or Launchkey, perfect for working inside Loopy Pro. Enable it in Settings – External Input.
- Launchpad Sequence View – A simplified 64-step view for Launchpad. Access it from the top control bar, 4th button from the left
- New Conditional: Skip First Loop – Scroll to the bottom of the “Every” conditional to find it.
- Bug Fixes – Lots of them.
