Version 0.4.0 - macOS on Apple silicon
What is available today
The session workflow with its clip grid, the iPad remote, the bilingual interface, the theme and scale settings, the release history with its release notes, the macOS application, the keyboard shortcuts and the built-in manual: all of that exists today, and every one of them is listed below with the release it arrived in.
In development, and marked as such wherever this site mentions them: MIDI depth, the mixer, the analog summing stage and the arrangement. Nothing of that is available today.
