- A new look for the Premium screen: choose yearly, monthly or lifetime in one tap. - Streamer Mode and VIS: a new Rising Notes effect. Every note you play rises above the piano, as long as you held it. - Bug fixes.

- Draw Your Melody: while it plays, a glowing dot in each line's colour rides along the line. - Kartier Studio: in the piano roll, PLAY now loops until you stop it. Notes you add while it plays are heard when the line gets to them, and the loop grows to fit. - Notes you tap in while the loop plays no longer cut off the notes already playing. - You can now send us feedback from Account: tell us how we can improve. - Bug fixes.

- Less echo on two of the newest sounds in Play Famous Sounds. - Bug fixes.

DRAW YOUR MELODY - The line you're drawing now plays right away while the loop runs, before you even lift your finger. - Every row of the grid is its own note, so a line walks up and down the scale with no repeats. Pick major or minor pentatonic from any root note; new drawings start in C minor pentatonic. - Thirty colours to choose from: tap the colour you're using, then Colour, to swap it for another. - Peach instead of orange, softer tones (especially high up the grid), notes that ring a little longer, and a touch more echo and reverb. KARTIER STUDIO - The piano roll now works with your phone upright as well as sideways, with a bigger logo up top. - Hold ZOOM in the piano roll to make the rows taller or shorter. - Hold PLAY and the piano roll follows the playhead. Let go and it keeps playing. - The keys on the left of the piano roll play for as long as you hold them. - Tap the tempo to pick from a list of common tempos. NEW SOUNDS - Four new sounds in Play Famous Sounds: three leads and a piano. - Cleaner playback on over a hundred of the existing sounds. Plus bug fixes.

DRAW YOUR MELODY - Black joins the colors, right next to white. - Softer, rounder tones on the brighter voices, notes that ring out a little longer, and smoother slides between them. NEW SOUND - A new vocal sound in Play Famous Sounds. Plus bug fixes.

LEARN HOW TO PLAY PIANO - A real piano course, built into the app: five levels and fifty lessons that take you from your very first key to real two-handed pieces, with guided explanations for everything along the way. - Every timed exercise shows falling notes above the keyboard, so you can see exactly when to play. Earn XP and a badge for each level you finish. - The first three lessons are free. Level 1 is fully translated into all twelve app languages; Levels 2 to 5 are in English for now, with translations on the way. DRAW YOUR MELODY - Scribble on a grid and hear it play as a looping melody. Every line becomes a note that stays in key, so anything you draw sounds good. - Nine colours, each with its own sound, any key and scale, your own tempo, one to four bars, and a photo underneath to trace. - Your drawings save themselves. Export a loop as a WAV or M4A and share it anywhere. HOME - A What's New page, from the button beside the Bluetooth icon, so you can see what each update brought. - Optional notifications, if you allow them, when new sounds and features arrive. IPAD - The full-screen piano's top bar and DJ Kartier wordmark are the size they used to be. - A new OLD IN-APP PIANO switch in the sound editor brings back the original full-screen piano look, if you preferred it. FIXES - The Draw Your Melody loop plays again straight away after the app has been in the background. Plus smaller fixes and polish.

IPAD - DJ Kartier is a real iPad app now. Every screen is laid out for the bigger display instead of stretching one phone column across it — the sound browser, KARTIER STUDIO, the games and the piano lessons all use the extra room, with more on screen at once. - Rotate freely. Portrait or landscape, and the app follows you. - It behaves in Split View, Slide Over and Stage Manager too, so you can keep it beside another app instead of having to run it full screen. HUMANIZE - A new setting for the MIDI player in the famous sounds presets. Nudge every note slightly off perfect — OFF, or 7, 14 or 28 milliseconds either way — with a touch of volume variation on top, so a take you record sounds played rather than programmed. FIXES - Saying no to the microphone is no longer treated as a failure. The app asks calmly instead of showing an error, and puts OPEN SETTINGS on screen if you change your mind. - XP and game records save reliably again. If a name you tried was refused, scores could quietly stop counting from then on; that is fixed, and any device it already affected repairs itself the next time you open a leaderboard. - Losing headphones in the middle of a song no longer leaves the next song playing far too quietly. - Leftover recording files from an interrupted take are cleared out on launch, so nothing you did not make shows up in your recordings. Plus smaller fixes and polish.

NEW SOUNDS - OMFG "Hello", a bass and an accordion from "Neck Hurts Funk", and the McDonald's beep — each one playable across the whole keyboard. FULL PIANO - A new DARKEN control for your custom photo or video background: dim it as much as you like, or leave it exactly as it was. - Lit keys are cleaner — no more faint line across a key when it lights up over a background. Plus smaller fixes and polish.
