Changelog

What's new in A1R, by version. Updates roll out automatically to installed Windows apps; macOS is a fresh download.

v4.581 September 2026New
  • MIDI Mapping now lives right in the tray panel — learn a controller and bind actions without opening the browser (MAX).
  • Fixed: sections set to loop could silently fail to arm when they overlapped a Session View clip at the same position.
  • Fixed: jumping to another section while a loop was playing could get stuck instead of jumping, in Instant and 1‑bar Quantize modes.
  • Fixed: the progress bar didn't reset when a looping section repeated (the time/bar countdown was always correct).
  • Timecode now runs continuously across your whole set instead of resetting at every song change.
  • Stop After Song now shows locked when it's set by a "STOP" locator, so it's clear it isn't the manual toggle.
  • A1R Link: no longer claims "Synced" before a peer has actually connected; tray now shows the A1R Link logo.
  • Tray: clicking the Dock icon now opens/closes the panel; Sign Out no longer gets stuck on "Signing out…".
