It's been less than two weeks since Beta 1.1, and we're already nearly 200 versions further in development. A lot of work has gone into stability, input support, and overall responsiveness.
MIDI and input
- MIDI Learn - map any hardware knob to any parameter
- Bluetooth keyboard support with verified low latency
- Sustain pedal (CC 64) - continuous, DAW-standard behavior
- MIDI clock output - sync external gear to DAWG's tempo
- Encoder acceleration for slow hardware knobs
- CC persistence - knob values survive tab switches
- Full RockJam Go 25 support (USB + Bluetooth)
- Steam Deck controls and sensors
- Gamepad support - Xbox, PlayStation, generic
Localization
- 16 languages complete - 610 keys across all locales
- Arabic with RTL layout and proper text shaping
- Bengali added
- HQ SDF fonts for all scripts - no placeholder squares
Under the hood
- Grid scaffolding stays alive on tab switch - no more rebuilding the UI every time you change instruments. Smoother, faster, better scheduling
- Faster loading - split into minimal shell + deferred extras
- Audio bugfixes - FX tail preservation, sustain pedal clicks, playback guards
- VU meter ballistics - proper attack/release envelope
