Hi MetaGrid Pro Family,

Przemek here.

We’ve been quiet this summer, I know. That doesn’t mean we slowed down. It was actually one of the busiest stretches we’ve had. The 1.7 release cycle kept us on our toes, but most of our time went into something bigger.

MetaGrid Pro 2 is in the works

I’ve wanted to tell you this for months, so it feels great to finally write it down.

For a long time now, we’ve been collecting everything you’ve sent us: feedback, feature requests, the small annoyances, and the things that don’t work as well as they should. We took that list, put it next to our own ideas of where MetaGrid Pro should go, and started building.

Here are some of the highlights:

  • iPhone support. MetaGrid Pro is coming to your iPhone.
  • Multi-computer support. Connect and control several computers at the same time, with new background services in MetaServer handling the connections.
  • A new foundation for your grids. A new document-based system brings faster grid operations, smaller export files, and new ways to organise and work with layouts.
  • Auto-sync with user accounts. Your grids follow you across devices.
  • A finer 48Ă—48 grid. More freedom to size and position your controls, with several snapping options to keep everything aligned.
  • Grid variants. One grid can adapt to different device orientations and MetaGrid Pro window sizes.
  • The new Meta-Controller. Encoders and faders with powerful motion options.
  • A new Ribbon controller.
  • A redesigned UI on almost every screen in the app.

…and there’s a lot more.

Where we are

The public beta opens in late October, and our goal is to have MetaGrid Pro 2 in your hands by Christmas 2026.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll share the major changes and the decisions behind them: what we were trying to solve, which options we looked at, and why we went the way we did. You’ve shaped this version with your feedback, so you should be able to see how it’s being put together.

Watching this come together in our dev lab, one piece at a time, has been amazing. We’re getting close to beta, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Keep your fingers crossed. The next three months are going to be good.

Greetings from MetaGrid Pro Team :boxing_glove:

Great news! Will it be a free upgrade for early supporters?

Very happy to hear.

As others have expressed, I do hope you can get the server more robust. I constantly have to fight with Cubase 15 and W11 to get the server to work when launching. I have to close MGS and disconnect, open MGS, refresh, and almost always have to reset up the control surface in Cubase every time I launch. I do think that windows has something to do with it, but it is very frustrating. You know how much I love MG and how much you work at this. SO I hope this gets resolved with the rewrite.

Thanks!

That is always good news but I wonder what is going to happen with life time early supporters, are they going to be limited to v.1 and v.2 will be a completely new app? like what you did with the original metagrid?
