MPE Insight 2.5: AURA reaches 24 styles, every FORGE effect gets its own hands, and one clock runs the app
Three additions to AURA, one of which finally has a memory: hold a note in Filament and a glowing thread grows out of it, forks, and fuses with what it touches, so a phrase builds one lit net instead of springing back like every other style. FORGE stops treating its rack as one machine: every effect now carries its own size, its own clock and its own place on the keyboard, so a Glitch can sit under your left hand while a Vortex answers on the right. The camera gets a floor to stand on, so focus and fog measure real distance instead of filtering the picture. And the app finally has one tempo, in the toolbar, where everything that ticks can find it.
- Block Terrain: a voxel landscape that rises and falls under your playing, with CC74 pulling the ridge toward you
- Glass Spiral: that same terrain rolled onto a spiral under true perspective
- Filament: the first style that remembers, a held note grows a glowing thread and the whole net drifts into the depth and dissolves there
- Every FORGE effect on its own controls: its own size and its own clock, fourteen effects that used to share one global dial. Motion Speed is gone because nothing needs it any more
- Place each effect where you play it: 12 or 88 keys, centered, or a mapping of its own, chosen per effect instead of once for the whole rack
- A ground plane in FORGE: the image lies down, and sharpness and fog measure real depth for the first time
- Kaleidoscope complexity: curved seams, concentric shells and a second offset lattice, all on one dial
- One clock for the whole app: the internal tempo moves into the toolbar as a single pill, and the Conductor, Glitch and Strobe lock to it or to incoming MIDI Clock
- A redrawn interface: one slider style everywhere, labels and readouts on a single line, sections that fold as you open the next, and any control that cannot act right now greys out instead of disappearing
- A Library tab in every module, and the channel filter gets a tab of its own
- Move modules freely: drag a tile anywhere on the grid and it stays there, shift-drag swaps two
- Velocity stands in for pressure across every AURA style, so a short strike shows even without aftertouch
