Condukt is now an AUv3 plugin: load your boards in AUM or Logic and let the host drive transport and tempo. Plus the Step Modulator, a paintable row of clocked CC sliders, and a beefed-up Drum sequencer with named pads, mute/solo, polymeters, and pattern shift.

This update adds two brand-new ways to sequence: Painter, where you draw your part onto a grid, and a Drum Sequencer with a classic trig-grid workflow. PAINTER: SEQUENCE BY DRAWING Painter is a polyphonic sequencer you play by drawing. Add it to any board and paint notes straight onto the grid. It's chord-quantized, so everything you draw snaps to the chord you pick and stays musical even when you're just doodling. Press harder with an Apple Pencil for louder steps (each pill's opacity shows its velocity), scrub through the loop by hand, and replace, erase, or mute individual steps as you go. The Recorder can capture a painted part and export it as MIDI like anything else. THE DRUM SEQUENCER: A TRIG GRID FOR YOUR RHYTHMS A new XOX-style step sequencer built for drums and rhythmic parts. Each track gets its own note row and 16 steps per page. Swipe across to toggle trigs, set a per-step velocity that drives each step's brightness so you can read your dynamics at a glance, and tap "Listen" to grab a track's note straight from a MIDI keypress. Stretch tracks across up to four pages so they loop at different lengths and drift into polyrhythms, then layer in a non-destructive Euclidean pattern on any track, rotating it with a swipe while your hand-placed steps stay put underneath. Like everything in Condukt, drum tracks support recall snapshots, board export and import, and the Recorder, which captures every track at once for live looping. Painter and the Drum Sequencer both pair with everything else in Condukt, so wire them up, record a take, and see where they take you.

Condukt 1.3 is the biggest update since launch: a community of boards to pull from, a looper that captures your playing and exports it as MIDI, a synth inside the app, an envelope editor that reaches into all your hardware, and a much better iPhone layout. COMMUNITY: BOARDS BUILT BY OTHER CONDUKTERS The new Community tab is a catalog of boards made by people who use Condukt, ready to install with one tap. See a board built for the synth in front of you? Tap it, install it, and start playing. Every board remembers which synths it controls, so build a Microfreak board you love, share it, and every other Microfreak owner benefits. Boards group into per-manufacturer sections (ELEKTRON, KORG, MOOG, etc) so it's easy to browse by the gear you own. This feature is yours to shape. THE RECORDER: A LOOPER THAT CAPTURES EVERYTHING A beat-synced tape looper that captures gestures and notes from anywhere on your board, plays them back in a loop, and exports the take as a MIDI file. Wire it to a Fader, XY Pad, Crossfader, sequencer, or the new MIDI Notes Input, set a tape length, and hit REC. It captures everything routable, and each note replays on the channel it was captured on. Export any tape as a standard MIDI file you can drop into your DAW, and recordings save with the board so a take comes back exactly as you left it. MIDI NOTES INPUT: BRING IN YOUR KEYBOARD A new source control that listens to incoming MIDI notes and lights up a grid as you play. Route it into the Recorder and a performance on your external keyboard gets captured straight to tape. CONDUKT POLY: A SYNTH INSIDE THE APP Condukt has always controlled your hardware. Now it makes sound of its own. Condukt Poly is the first in-app synth: an 8-voice subtractive instrument with two oscillators, noise, a Moog-style ladder filter, a dedicated filter envelope, and glide. Its parameters route into faders, sequencers, and the Recorder exactly like a hardware synth. A patch editor gives you interactive ADSR envelopes, five factory presets, and Save As. Each channel running Poly gets its own audio instance, so two Polys play side by side. It's a great way to sketch an idea or learn the app without anything plugged in. ENVELOPES: EDIT THE SHAPE OF ANY SOUND Condukt 1.3 scans your connected synths and finds their envelopes automatically, surfacing them as interactive curve editors. We found some 553 envelopes across 210 devices! Instead of hunting for attack and decay CCs, you grab the curve and shape it. The editor stays bound to the underlying CCs, so a fader or LFO on the same parameter stays in sync. A THIRD AXIS FOR THE XY PAD On iPad with an Apple Pencil, the XY Pad now captures pressure as a third axis. Press harder and Condukt records a Z value alongside X and Y, routable like any other source. Send it to velocity and your gesture's pressure shapes how hard each note hits. The XY Pad recorder can also replay finger gestures up to 100x slower, for great ambient build-ups. A MUCH BETTER IPHONE Lots of work to make Condukt feel right on a phone. Board zoom now goes below 1x (0.25x, 0.5x, 0.75x) so you can see more of the grid at once, and zoom saves per board. Horizontal swipes use velocity tiers: a nudge steps one column, a short swipe jumps a viewport, a long flick drifts freely. Controls you add now stack into visible grid slots instead of landing off screen, and multi-channel instrument tiles read better with channel badges. EVERYTHING ELSE - Custom MIDI definitions: point an instrument at your own MIDI.guide-format CSV to rename parameters or define a device that isn't in the database yet - Audio routing follows your gear: plug in an interface or headphones mid-session and the engine follows - Sharper everywhere: crisper board thumbnails, higher-quality icons, smoother scrolling through big rigs - Plus a long list of smaller fixes and refinements throughout If you build a board you're proud of, share it. We can't wait to see what shows up in the catalog.
