Sessions is just getting started!
With Sessions being such a new app, we understand you might have questions about what’s next. We’re passionate about making Sessions an indispensable creative tool for the studio and stage and are working hard every day to make this a reality for more and more musicians.
The roadmap below gives a sneak peek at what we’re currently working on and where we see Sessions going in the future. If you don’t see your personal favourite feature on the roadmap, please drop us a message. We love hearing how Sessions is used ‘in the wild’ and appreciate that so many of you take the time to get in touch with suggestions and feature requests or just to say ‘Hi’.
Recently completed.
These features are now available in recent app updates.
Background Audio
Run Sessions in the background while you use other apps on your iPad.
Multi Threaded Audio Engine
A re-engineered audio engine that takes advantage of the multicore chips in modern Macs and iPads so you can add even more Channel Strips and Plug-ins to your projects.
Updates for Performers
Large Scene switching buttons and Always-On Scenes.
In the pipeline.
These features are under active development or are scheduled to begin very soon.
Sidechains
From vocoders to compressors, there are many instruments and effects that can make use of a sidechain input.
AU MIDI Plug-ins
Use your favorite Audio Unit MIDI sequencer and generator plug-ins.
Backing Tracks
Load audio files and perform with backing tracks.
Always-On Recorder + MIDI
We know how much you love the Always-On Recorder. It’ll be even better with support for MIDI recording.
Over the horizon.
Just a small selection of some of the ideas we’re exploring for future developments.
Sessions as DAW plug-in
Wouldn’t it be great to use the sounds and plug-in chains you’ve created in Sessions in your DAW without having to recreate them?
External MIDI synths and sound modules
Send MIDI data to external MIDI synths and sound modules and bring the audio back into Sessions.
Improved interoperability
Play nice with others by building in support for OSC and MIDI 2.0.
All plans are subject to change and circumstances may arise that prevent specific features from being delivered.
Made in Scotland.
