MetaGrid Pro 1.7.4 is now available.
This hot fix release adds new AI Builder targeting, wired-Ethernet support, Cubase and Nuendo automation feedback, and multi-button export. It also improves connection recovery, editing reliability, MIDI state restoration, and several interface workflows.
Important: MetaGrid Pro 1.7.4 requires MetaServer Mac 6.1.4 or MetaServer Windows 6.0.4.
New
- Choose Mac or Windows as the target platform in AI Builder. The selection is preserved across buttons, Menu Buttons, pasted content, temporary edits, and regeneration.
- Connect an iPad to MetaServer using a compatible wired Ethernet adapter.
- Use bidirectional Cubase and Nuendo Selected Channel Read and Write automation feedback.
- Export multiple selected buttons in one operation.
Improved
- AI Builder navigation remains visible with Bluetooth and software keyboards.
- Improved recovery after sleep, wake, screen saver, display sleep, app backgrounding, and Mac lock.
- More reliable automatic and manual reconnection when the saved connection and rediscovered MetaServer use different Wi-Fi endpoints.
- Host-unavailable overlays wait until editing is finished instead of interrupting your work.
- Wi-Fi-disabled messages no longer suggest that Wi-Fi is required when a working USB connection is available.
- Incoming MIDI state is restored more reliably for latching switches, including correct channel and MIDI-port matching.
- Menu Buttons expose all 13 supported entries while preserving access to larger legacy Menu Buttons.
- Closing a menu by tapping outside it no longer activates the grid object underneath.
- Palette overwrite confirmation appears without the previous apparent freeze.
- Successful exports now use non-blocking completion feedback.
- Connectivity queues, heartbeat handling, and latency measurement remain responsive under sustained traffic.
- The dashboard remains populated after leaving Edit mode on iPad and Mac Catalyst without requiring a window resize.
- Refreshing Custom Icons restores the cached icons immediately and keeps subsequent updates connected.
- Very Slow and Slow Repeat On Hold presets now provide more useful pacing for longer macros.
Fixed
- Localized Cubase empty insert slots, including French “Effet Nul,” work correctly with First Free and User Selectable.
- Custom XY Controller labels remain visible while either axis is locked.
- Fixed a grid-list crash when opening a workspace with a missing optional profile.
- Undo after Macro Reset restores the macro name and actions in the open editor.
- Text action edits are preserved after Return, Done, selection changes, and interactive dismissal.
- Fader Style Copy now includes Hide Cap Text.
- Switch gradient controls follow the explicitly selected Off or On editing state.
