MetaGrid Pro 1.6.14 Released

:rocket: MetaGrid Pro 1.6.14 β€” Now Available

This major update delivers a faster, smarter, and more intuitive editing experience across MetaGrid Pro for iPad and Mac.

:high_voltage: Requires MetaServer 5.3.3 for Mac for full compatibility with all new features.

:blue_book: The MetaGrid Pro User Guide has also been fully updated with detailed explanations of the new Edit Mode, Keyboard Shortcut Catalog, and all recent features β€” available directly from the app’s Settings.


:pencil: Edit Mode Reimagined

Editing has been completely redesigned for speed, clarity, and flow.

The new Edit Mode introduces direct, fluid interaction β€” select, move, and resize objects with precision.

A brand-new Edit Bar provides context-aware tools right where you need them, while Smart Tiling lets you fill large areas automatically for perfectly structured layouts.

Multi-selection and cross-grid copy-paste make building complex interfaces faster than ever.


:keyboard: Keyboard Shortcut Catalog and Recorder (Mac)

Explore every available shortcut from your connected app with the new Keyboard Shortcut Catalog β€” automatically created by MetaServer.

Browse, search, and assign shortcuts visually, organized by menu.

When you need something custom, the new Shortcut Recorder captures any key combination instantly for direct assignment inside MetaGrid Pro.


:control_knobs: MIDI Shift for Paste Style

When pasting styles, you can now shift MIDI values β€” notes, CC offsets, or channels β€” automatically by one step.

Perfect for creating sequential rows or columns of MIDI buttons for instruments, sequencing, or live performance.


:artist_palette: Improved Interface

We’ve refined the look and feel of MetaGrid Pro throughout.

:battery: Redesigned battery and connection indicators for better visibility and balance.

:magic_wand: Smoother, physics-based button animations for a more natural, responsive feel.

:sparkles: Subtle UI adjustments across menus and controls for a cleaner, more cohesive experience.


:gear: Other Improvements

  • Added Paste: ONβ†’OFF state option for faster toggle setup.

  • Premium Grids now marked with a diamond badge for easy identification.

  • Fader Touch Behavior refined β€” faders now wait for intentional movement before sending MIDI.

  • More consistent Dynamic Focus Tracking across windows and titles.

  • App Menu Command Picker now behaves reliably on Mac.

  • Layouts reload properly after MetaServer reconnection.
