lq-12 / 1.0
lq-12 1.0: more room for the music
Playable pads, a clearer sampling workflow and a new €9 price. Here is what has changed.
Darren’s development journal
Build notes.
I’m designing and building lowquo one instrument at a time. These are my notes on what I changed, what I got wrong and what I’m still trying to work out.

lq-12 / release
lq-12 0.3.0 is out for macOS
The first paid release brings the chop, sequence, process and resample workflow together on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
lq-12 / chopping
I built chopping, then realised I’d missed the point
The code worked, but I had confused playable slices with positions in the sequencer. I’m separating them before 0.3 is finished.
lq-12 / interface
Making lq-12 explain itself
I removed the parts of the interface that repeated one another and made the keyboard hints change with what you are doing.
lq-12 / nearly ready
The eight-track version is together
I’m using the full eight-track version for real sessions now and fixing the few moments that still slow an idea down.
lq-12 / tracks
One track became eight
I expanded the first sampler track into eight. That was the moment lq-12 started to feel like a groovebox rather than a demo.
Earlier experiments
kept for the recordmodular workstation
