0.9.0 — The power ritual
· 2026-06-10
The rack now boots from cold. Every phosphor screen starts as dark glass; throw the master power on the transport and the units warm up one after another — a short flicker, an 88:88 lamp test, then the live reading drops in. It is the moment the kit stops being a webpage and becomes a machine, and it is the first thing a visitor does on the landing page.
The boot is staggered across the rack so the warm-up reads like a real console coming up, not a single flash. Everything is gated behind your motion preference: with reduced motion the boot resolves instantly to the live state and never strands you on a dark screen.
0.8.0 — Console at night
· 2026-05-22
A fresh palette replaces the old scheme: warm walnut, leather and brass grounds, lit by the machine's own screens. Depth is carried by light-and-dark edges so hue is left free to mean something — every saturated signal on the rack is now a musical concern, never decoration.
The brand accent is the machine's own phosphor amber, the colour it already uses for an unbussed readout, so the brand never steals a facet's hue. Green and cyan became the live and system lights; a quiet slate carries the secondary chrome.

0.7.0 — The band, in colour
· 2026-05-02
Seven instrument units now sit on one shared score graph, each carrying a single musical concern, and the facet colour language landed alongside them: every control is coloured by the question it answers, never by where it sits. Squint at a panel and it sorts into four families; focus and the exact hue names the concern.
Because concern is hue and not position, a panel can lay out its controls however it reads best and still be legible at a glance. Like-concern controls line up across all seven faces on the shared plate grid.

0.6.0 — Chiptune voices
· 2026-04-18
The SID 6581 and NES 2A03 render engines arrived: the same deterministic tune, voiced like the sound chips they are named after. Pick the engine per take and the seed stays exactly the same — only the voice changes, so an arrangement you liked can be heard three different ways.
The browser's own WebAudio voice remains the default, and the theory still resolves on the server. The chip engines are a rendering choice at the very end of the chain, not a different tune.

0.5.0 — Seeds you can keep
· 2026-03-30
The foundation everything else stands on: every tune is a single seed, and the same seed always rebuilds the same take — same melody, same changes, same fills. A tune you keep is a few bytes of recipe, not megabytes of audio, and it never rots.
Re-roll spins a fresh seed for one player while every other player holds, so you can chase a better bassline without losing the drums you already liked. Determinism is the whole point: a recipe, not a recording.
