MetaGrid Pro 1.7.2 - App Store

MetaGrid Pro version 1.7.2

Updated At: 2026-06-27

Changes: Version History MetaGrid Pro 1.7.2 Hot Fix is here. MetaServer Mac 6.1.2 and MetaServer Win 6.0.2 needed. You can update it from MetaServer's Settings or download it from here: www.metagrid.app/download IMPROVED: - New dedicated Mac state screens for Screen Saver, Display Sleep, Lock Screen, and Mac Sleep. These now use clean full-screen MetaGrid Pro logo states instead of dimming the current dashboard. FIXED: - Fixed a crash that occurred on some systems approximately 20 seconds after launch. - Improved Mac wake recovery. MetaGrid Pro now reconnects quietly and avoids flashing the dashboard before the Mac is active and usable. - Improved USB recovery after sleep, app backgrounding, cable hiccups, and reconnect probes. - Fixed cases where USB could disappear from the host picker after wake/background scenarios. - Fixed Lock Screen taps so they no longer send wake commands that could darken the Mac display. - Fixed Button Editor color indicators for shadow and text-background settings. - Fixed additional app-data and cache concurrency issues that could destabilize reconnect or recovery flows. - Improved USB diagnostics: logs now show packet id, packet name, payload length, and PeerTalk tag. - Improved Cubase/Nuendo Plugin Manager support path for Windows MetaServer Thank you for your support and using MetaGrid Pro 1.7.2 Jun 8 What’s New in 1.7.1 Important: MetaServer update needed for Mac (6.1.1) and Windows (6.0.1): https://www.metagrid.app/download/ This update focuses on stability and reliability improvements. • Fixed a random USB connection crash that could occur 30–45 seconds after launch, particularly after Mac sleep/wake cycles or brief USB interruptions. • Fixed a launch crash that could occur when the profile and grid library loaded slowly during startup. • Fixed an issue where USB connections would not automatically recover after returning MetaGrid Pro from the background. • Fixed an issue where exported MIDI macros could be imported incorrectly Thank you for using MetaGrid Pro! 1.7.1 Jun 4 MetaGrid Pro 1.7 — A major release: AI Builder, Cubase Plugin Manager, 80+ macOS Universal Commands, 8 new button themes, and a ground-up rework of the connection engine. Important: Requires MetaServer 6.1.0 or later on Mac, and MetaServer 6.0 or later on Windows. NEW AI Builder - Build buttons and macros from natural language, powered by Anthropic's Claude. Describe what you need; AI Builder loads your DAW commands, shortcuts, and menus, proposes verified actions, then applies your chosen theme. Includes a restyle engine, contextual Ideas, profile-scoped recent prompts, and Cubase plugin chain support. Manage your Anthropic API key from Settings → AI Builder. Cubase Plugin Manager — Load Cubase plugins onto the selected track straight from MetaGrid Pro. Stack multiple plugins in one macro to load an entire signal chain with a single tap. Slot modes: User Selectable, First Free, or Slot 1–16. Instruments auto-route to the instrument slot. Requires Cubase 15.0.20 or later with the MetaGrid Pro MIDI Remote scripts active (you need to reinstall MIDI Remote device from MetaServer > Integrations). macOS Universal Commands — Over 80 built-in macOS system commands you can assign to any button, with no Keyboard Maestro or Apple Shortcuts needed. Covers Mission Control, Spaces, Window Tiling, Screenshots, Brightness, Volume, Media Controls, Audio Output switching, Dark Mode, Lock Screen, and more. Find them in the Macro Editor under Automation → macOS Commands. 8 New Button Style Presets — Classic, System, Dracula, Studio, Technical, Vivid, Cyber, and Mono. Each comes with a curated palette of accent colours, three background variants (Dark, Standard, Light), and an Invert option for supported themes. IMPROVED New Connection Engine — A ground-up rework of how MetaGrid Pro discovers, picks, and reconnects to your computer. The picker exposes USB and Wi-Fi as two separate buttons on each device row, the radar has a four-stage host indicator that brightens as confidence builds, and the connecting screen now pops cleanly into place on Wi-Fi instead of sliding in from the top-left. Lower Wi-Fi Latency — Migrated the Wi-Fi networking layer from the legacy GCDAsyncUdpSocket library to Apple's modern SwiftNIO framework. In our testing, this reduced round-trip latency by up to 30% on Wi-Fi — button presses and MIDI commands reach the Mac faster and with less jitter. FIXED • Reliable upgrades from older versions • Connection survives app switches • Transparent text backgrounds survive Grid Install • MIDI grid switching no longer flips to the foreground app • Common Grids editing no longer corrupts buttons • No crashes when receiving grids • Stability fix for heavy foreground-app activity • No crashes when deleting active profile, workspace, grid, or scene • Clearer selection in the colour picker • Return to Previous Grid works after editing Thanks for using MetaGrid Pro. 1.7.0 Jun 1 MetaGrid Pro 1.6.19 brings connection reliability improvements, a storage cleanup, and a clearer view of your purchases. Important: MetaServer Mac 6.0.1 needed IMPROVED: - Settings → Subscription Plans now lists all your purchased add-ons and presets - Briefly switching to another app no longer drops the server connection (stays alive up to 30 seconds in the background) - Custom icons are now capped at 512×512 px — a one-time cleanup runs automatically if MetaGrid Pro was using several GB of storage FIXED: - Grid Sync now delivers to the correct device - Grid import from Files or AirDrop no longer gets interrupted by a disconnect - Fixed auto-reconnect after a WiFi heartbeat timeout - Fixed connection failures on servers with multiple network interfaces - Fixed Early Supporter purchase restore 1.6.19 Apr 2 Hot fixes for connectivity issues reported by the users: - Fixed an issue where two iPads set up from the same backup shared the same device ID, causing one to repeatedly disconnect from MetaServer - Fixed a bug where a previous USB session could prevent the app from reconnecting after restart - Fixed an issue where auto-connect used a stale link-local address instead of the server's reachable IP address - Fixed a Mac Catalyst networking issue that could cause all connected clients to drop when a transient network error occurred 1.6.18 Mar 23 1.6.17 has been a long time coming. Not the flashiest release — but one of the most important ones. Onboarding that actually makes sense, imports that don't choke on large setups, menu commands on Windows, connectivity that holds. Plus MetaServer 6.0 — rebuilt from scratch. A lot went into this one. IMPORTANT: MetaGrid Pro 1.6.17 requires MetaServer 6.0.0 or later on Mac, or MetaServer 5.1.8 or later on Windows. ------------------------- NEW ------------------------- MENU COMMANDS FOR WINDOWS Control Windows apps directly from your iPad using customizable menu commands - built on the Win32 standard. Coverage varies by app. BUILT-IN HELP SYSTEM The full MetaGrid Pro User Guide, MetaServer guides, and MIDI & DAW Setup Guide are now built into the app - always one tap away from the sidebar. FIRST LAUNCH ONBOARDING Interactive coach cards walk you through the dashboard, edit mode, and content manager on your first launch. The essentials, step by step. REDESIGNED CONNECTION SCREEN A completely reworked connection experience - new radar animation, cleaner layout, and a much more polished first impression. WHAT'S NEW & CHANGELOG A dedicated What's New screen so you always know what changed - with a full changelog just a tap away. UNIFIED LOG CONSOLE Live log monitoring and settings in one place. Filter by level or category, search entries, and send logs to support in seconds. METASERVER 6.0 SUPPORT Full integration with the latest MetaServer on Mac for a faster, more reliable connection. ------------------------- IMPROVED ------------------------- BLAZING FAST IMPORT & EXPORT A new streaming XML engine with parallel processing makes backup import and export dramatically faster - even large setups with dozens of profiles load in seconds. ROCK-SOLID CONNECTIVITY Faster disconnect detection, automatic recovery from brief hiccups, and better multi-iPad support. It just stays connected. AUTOMATIC ICON SYNC Custom icons sync automatically on connect - only changed icons are transferred, keeping things fast. SILENT SCHEDULED BACKUPS Scheduled backups now run quietly at launch, saving to iCloud Drive automatically. No dialogs, no interruptions. SETTINGS SURVIVE REINSTALLS Key settings - audio scheme, backup preferences, icon source, smart dim, Middle C, fallback profile, and more - are stored in the Keychain and restored after a reinstall. SMARTER PURCHASE RESTORATION Powered by StoreKit 2 - faster, more reliable, fewer headaches. ------------------------- If you've been with MetaGrid Pro for a while - thank you.
