Features
What MusicStation ships today and what is still being built. Every feature page says which controls exist, links the manual sections that document them and names the limits of this version - and, where a feature does not exist yet, what exists today instead.
Available today
These features ship today and are documented in the manual; the version each of them arrived in stands next to it.

A grid of clip slots: launch clips and whole scenes in time, loop them, and drop WAV, AIFF or FLAC files straight from the Finder.

The session grid and the transport on an iPad: pair it with the bridge over your local network and drive a running MusicStation from the sofa.
