We promised more was inbound, and we meant it. New builds of PatchWorld are available now on the Meta Quest Store and are automatic free updates for all current users.
August 19 update
This week, we launched even more new instruments, including visual effects you can tweak for fountains of particles and colorful lighting, new tools for manipulating timing and sequences, and still more DJ and drum instruments. It’s Saturday Night Fever time, between those colored lights and new groove creation tools.
New devices:
- Scratcher - bubble DJ deck
- Sweeper - new version of Boofer to play samples as sustained notes
- Timer - timer utility
- Timeline - basic sequencing building block
- String Box - string emulator with pitch and decay control
- Lil Drum Kit - simple kick, snare and hihat synth drum kit
- Party Calls - tweakable and patchable particle effect
- Light Box - patchable light generator with color settings
This release also contains still more tweaks and optimizations, plus important groundwork for future releases. That continues to accelerate our development pace and give you all the powerful creation tools we know you want.
And there’s more: ghost audio syncs with BPM changes among other ghost improvements, voice and color support is improved,
And if you missed it, this is hot on the heels of another big bulk of work earlier in the month –
