This update makes LUMA more reliable and more efficient and improves layouts on smaller screens, the iPhone Duo and at larger text sizes. Changes include: • A new and more efficient core synth engine • Rebalanced sounds so each plays at a more even level • The Auto theme now follows your phone's light or dark setting • Improved VoiceOver support • Improved MIDI exports • Fixed an issue where the ARP button did not respond to taps on older versions of iOS • Fixed an issue where the joypad could get stuck when a touch was interrupted • Fixed issues where audio failed to restart after calls or other system interruptions • Many other small fixes

With the iOS 27 update, tapping a chord pad could give you the little buzz and then nothing, no sound, no colour. That's fixed. Every press plays instantly and lights up as it does. • Voice Leading, chords now move to their nearest notes instead of jumping register, so progressions flow instead of stepping. Switch it on under CTRL. • Play with both hands, hold a chord with one finger and press the next with another. Sliding between pads is smoother, and letting go of one hand no longer cuts the other's chord. • A tap always sounds, however briefly you touch the pad. • A much bigger joypad on iPhone SE, with more room to aim and more expression. • The Controls sheet is reorganised so it reads at a glance: the four pad modes, then the two locks, then Slide Chords and Voice Leading. • Recording stops when you leave the instrument or the app, so a take can't roll on unnoticed. Playing a take back stops when you leave Recordings. • The recording border now draws evenly all the way round, including the corners on larger iPhones.

Recording • The countdown has been rebuilt. The count, click and take now all follow one clock. • Pressing REC while the metronome or drums are already playing no longer makes them skip a beat. • REC now waits for the next bar before counting in. The wait is silent with a grey pulse, and the count is always the number of bars you asked for. • Recording starts on the scheduled downbeat, and the first drum hit is no longer clipped. • The recording border and REC button now light together, right on the beat. • Deleting a take while it is playing now stops playback. • Long-press REC to quantize a take while allowing it to finish at the end of the current bar, creating a clean loop. • MIDI exports now use the take’s recorded timing and settings rather than approximating them. • Each recording stores its key, octave, chord mode, tempo, per-chord joypad zone and arpeggiator settings. • The countdown now returns to the joypad in sync with the recording border and REC indicator. • MIDI exports preserve trailing silence, so the full take length is retained. • Older recordings now loop at their full length after resuming partway through. Playing • Chord pads now lead with the chord name, with the numeral shown as a quieter label. • The joypad mode has moved onto the playing surface as the CTRL chip. • The new Controls sheet includes Chord, Filter, Pitch and Shape modes, plus Lock Joypad, Lock Chords and Slide Chords. • Lock Joypad now holds the pad in every mode. • Slide Chords lets you hold and slide between chord pads without lifting your finger, with a smooth pitch transition. • Controls scroll when needed on smaller screens, while the octave buttons remain accessible. • Improved the iPhone SE layout and rebalanced the iPhone mini’s portrait joypad and chord pads. Sound • EMBER replaces NEON: a warmer voice that rings an octave as it arrives and darkens as it rings. MIDI • MIDI OUT now sends the arpeggio one note at a time when ARP is on, instead of sending the chord it was built from. The same applies to exported MIDI files. • Note velocity is now configurable rather than fixed. • Disabling MIDI OUT or changing its destination now releases held notes, preventing stuck notes. • Improved MIDI input handling and arpeggiator reliability. Tidy • Landscape sheets now sit at their content height instead of appearing as a tall, mostly empty card. • Instrument controls and navigation share one row in landscape. Recordings and Settings show navigation only. • Fixed navigation and picker behaviour after rotating the phone. • Faster toggles, tidier spacing and the haptics setting moved alongside the other app settings.

• REC now captures real audio, starting the moment you play. Export as .m4a, allowing you to AirDrop audio, drop into a DAW or send to anyone. MIDI export is updated too, so you get both from one take. • Four new synth sounds added. • Drums and the metronome start on the same downbeat, whichever you switch on first, and hitting REC while a loop is playing now waits for the bar to come round before counting in, so your take lands in time. • Chords have their low end back on the main chord shapes, and ring out properly when you change between them. • New app icon.
