A compact performance kit that uses the same synthetic Pocket Chordsmith drum bus. Kick, snare, hat and open hat can write into the current rhythm grid while playback is running. Clap maps to a snare accent. Toms, crash and ride are live-only colour.

Advanced rhythm tools
Beat cells cycle Off -> Hit -> Accent. Full/Half/Quarter/Eighth/Sixteenth are straight grid resolutions. Triplets are now marked as tuplets: place two adjacent hits, then drag right-to-left across them to mark a small 3. The two cells then play three evenly spaced hits in the time of two cells. Triplets cannot overlap; consecutive triplets use pairs like 1-2, 3-4, 5-6.
Guitar rhythm
Cells cycle Rest, strum, palm mute, accent, hold and scratch. Guitar follows each bar's chord as root, fifth and octave power chords.

Audio
FX
Live playback FX shape the chord and melody bus only. FX Mix now controls the overall wet level, so changes should be much easier to hear on phone speakers. Exports stay dry for now.
Advanced playback
Humanise adds tiny timing and level variation. Pump ducks chords around kick hits for a sidechain feel.
Interface
Manual bass uses tap to cycle notes, drag right to hold or glide, then long press to accent. Long press an accented note again to clear it.
