What's New in WatsonMIDI 1.15.5 Drag and drop to reorder a service. Press, hold, and move any recording into place, and the new order saves on its own. More reliable importing. Bringing in a large batch of MIDI files no longer stalls or quits when one file is damaged or incomplete. Problem files are set aside so the rest come in cleanly. Import summary. After an import you get a clear recap of what was added and what was skipped, with the reason for each skipped file, plus Copy and Share to save or send the list. Accurate recording source. Imported recordings now keep their own organ source instead of picking up whichever profile happens to be active.

Connection Setup Wizard Guided setup walks you through connecting your organ step by step. Choose wireless or wired, with illustrations and a built-in connection test. Background MIDI Playback MIDI playback continues when you switch apps or lock your screen. The organ keeps playing while you use other apps on the iPad. Improved Service Sharing Services now share via email reliably. Import services directly from the Services tab on both iPad and iPhone. Console Power Module (Maestro) Control your organ's blower and rectifier from WatsonMIDI via Wi-Fi relay. Auto-discovery, hardware auto-off timer, and MIDI activity detection. Apple Watch Remote (Maestro) Control playback from your wrist. Play, pause, stop, and navigate your service playlist. Record Naturally Stop registrations are captured automatically when you press Record, so playback starts with the correct stops engaged.

What's New in v1.11.0 Translation Engine - Cross-System Playback (Maestro) Play recordings from one organ on a completely different organ, even across different MIDI control systems. WatsonMIDI automatically maps stops, remaps keyboard channels, and converts between incompatible MIDI formats in real time. Expanded Organ Profiling (Maestro) Profile digital organs that use SysEx state dump stop control. The profiler now detects and captures both standard and extended SysEx header formats. Save Recording Improvements (All Tiers) Custom folders now appear in the save dialog - save directly to your own folders without extra steps Set a default folder so new recordings automatically save where you want them Playback Improvements (All Tiers) All stops now reset properly when playback ends on SysEx-based instruments Improved stability during translated playback

Separate MIDI Routing: Use different devices for input and output — perfect for virtual organ setups with GrandOrgue or Hauptwerk. Set your MIDI instrument as the input for recording and a virtual MIDI bus as the output for playback. Works with keyboards, digital organs, and pipe organ consoles with MIDI. Enable it in Settings under MIDI Connection. Mac Catalyst Playback Fix: Resolved an issue where MIDI playback could fail to send note events when running WatsonMIDI on Mac. Playback now works reliably for both direct instrument connections and virtual instrument routing. Improved Labels: Clearer descriptions throughout the app — Record Audio and Listening Mode toggles now use more intuitive language that better describes what each feature does.

Bug Fixes: - Fixed an issue where exporting recordings could cause them to become unplayable - Corrupted recordings from v1.0 are now automatically recovered on playback - Improved iPad portrait mode layout - Backup files now use readable names instead of random identifiers
