This release introduces the new AI Builder, allowing you to create and modify buttons simply by describing what you want. Powered by grounded AI and your real MetaGrid Pro command catalog, it builds workflows based on actual shortcuts, integrations, and commands—not guesses.
But that’s just the beginning.
What’s new in MetaGrid Pro 1.7:
• AI Builder powered by Claude
• Grounded AI with real MetaGrid Pro actions and integrations
• 8 new button styles
• New macOS Commands action with 80+ native macOS commands
• Cubase Plugin Manager integration
• AI-powered Cubase plugin button generation
• New Integration Catalog in MetaServer
• Completely rebuilt MetaServer for Windows
• Native Windows MIDI Services support (no LoopMIDI required on supported systems)
• Improved Cubase MIDI Remote support on Windows
• Rewritten connectivity engine
• Performance improvements and numerous fixes
Whether you work in music production, video editing, design, streaming, automation, or productivity workflows, MetaGrid Pro helps you build custom control surfaces tailored to the way you work.
I’m through trying out all of this. Amazing amazing amazing! Truly, an epic update. AI builder is the ultimate tedium killer. I can’t even begin to explain how much of a time saver this is. It gets the slog part of building grids out of the way so you can get to the fun, creative, helpful stuff. Super cool. And the plugin-manager is going to make a lot of other devs very jealous.
This is such a massive update! Can’t wait to try out the new Cubase Plugin Manager. I’m in between some tight deadlines, so I’ll hold off on changing anything for my own sake Hopefully, any initial set of bugs will squashed by the time I jump onto this.
Congrats on the update! Thank you for giving Windows some love and bringing it to feature parity with Mac. Unfortunately I have switched to Open Stage Control in the time that it took for Metagrid to mature, but I will surely dust off the iPad and try it out. Can never have too many control surfaces.
Excited to try it once I’m not on a project! I have Codex connected to Open Stage Control which basically gets me the same experience but this looks like it might be faster.
I think until Metagrid has a native version on Windows like it has for Mac, it probably won’t go back to being my daily driver. Now that I’ve tasted having my controller on a 20in touchscreen, it’ll be difficult to go back to being confined to the iPad. It will be useful for other things, though.
I’ve said this before @MetaGrid_Admin , but I think there are a lot of users (like me) that would pay a pretty penny for a native Windows version.
