What is new in 1.3 - Build instruments from a folder of samples. Hexatone detects each sample’s pitch, splits the keyboard between them, and shows you the detected map to confirm or adjust before importing. No .sfz file and no web tool needed, and because the app builds the instrument itself it can never mismatch its samples. - Bigger, more reliable instruments. Sample libraries now load up to what your device can actually handle instead of a single fixed limit, so larger packs work on capable iPads. When something cannot load you get a clear reason, and a pack that is missing or cannot read some of its samples warns you instead of quietly playing the wrong sound. Single-file imports that cannot be decoded now fail clearly instead of creating a silent instrument. Record Hexatone in your DAW. The Audio Unit now responds to incoming MIDI, so you can record what you play in a host (Logic Pro, AUM, Cubasis) and play it back or bounce it to audio, and you can drive Hexatone from an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer. Your microtonal tuning is preserved on playback (it reads back the per-note pitch bend Hexatone records). - Built-in user guide. The full manual is now inside the app, under Settings, so help is one tap away with no internet needed. - Various bug fixes.

What is new in 1.2.1 - Hold mode. A Hold button lets you build a chord and let go: it keeps sounding, hands-free. Tap a held key to drop it; turn Hold off to release everything. Voices control. A slider sets how many notes the built-in instrument plays at once, and how many Hold can sustain. - Instrument naming and rename. Imported instruments take the name of the file or folder you imported, and you can rename any of them. Older imports update to their real name automatically. - Import a .zip. The multisample importer now accepts a folder or a .zip, including the ready-to-import .zip from the free SFZ Builder web tool. Scale manager. A new screen to see and delete the Scala (.scl) scales you have imported. - Built-in instrument voices. Two generative, in-tune voices out of the box: Hexatone Bell (a struck, bell-like tone) and Hexatone Glass (a sustaining, glassy tone that holds for as long as you want). No import or external synth needed. - Fixes and polish, including cleaner high notes on the built-in sustaining voice and more reliable instrument import.
