# Roadmap

## Upcoming

### 1.5 - Personalization and Extensibility

- Global context: add your own reference material and custom instructions across
  all Live projects
- Global memory: Producer Pal can adapt over time to your needs and interaction
  style
- Custom skills, system prompts, tool sets, and tool descriptions
- Task-focused personas and better optimized "small model mode" via
  customization presets
- Workflows: pre-defined tool call sequences for reliable, repeatable operations
- Companion MCP server template for building new capabilities as separate
  servers

See [Extending Producer Pal](/extending) for more on the extension model.

## Changelog

See [the list of releases](https://github.com/adamjmurray/producer-pal/releases)
for more detailed information.

### 1.4 - MIDI Transforms (February 2026)

Transform note and audio clip properties using math expressions:

- Ramps, curves, and LFO shapes (arrangement-relative or clip-relative)
- Randomization with arbitrary ranges, or choose from a set of values
- Swing and other timing patterns
- Context variables like note index and clip position in the arrangement

Other improvements:

- Split arrangement clips at specified positions
- Configurable Ollama API URL for remote hosting
- Improved support for creating, updating, and duplicating multiple objects
  (tracks, clips, scenes, devices) in one operation for efficiency
- Many improvements to the built-in chat UI

### 1.3 - Device Control (January 2026)

- Full device control: add/delete/move native devices on any track, read/write
  parameters, insert into rack chains
- Rack macro and variation management
- A/B comparison for device parameters

Also added support for:

- Arrangement locators
- MIDI clip quantization

### 1.2 - Audio clip, mixer, and improved Arrangement support (November 2025)

- Audio clip support with a `read-samples` tool to scan folders for samples
- Track mixer control: gain, panning, and sends
- Arrangement clip positioning and length control

### 1.1 - Built-in chat UI (November 2025)

Direct API integrations for Google Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, OpenRouter, LM
Studio, Ollama, and more.

### 1.0 - Support for more LLMs (October 2025)

Expanded features and support for multiple AI platforms.

### 0.9 - Public Beta with Claude Desktop (July 2025)

Initial public release with Claude Desktop support and a focus on MIDI clip
manipulation and basic Live Set management.

## Beyond 1.5

After 1.5, the core stabilizes — future core changes focus on bug fixes and
supporting new Live API features as they become available. New capabilities will
come through [extensions](/extending): community skills, workflows, and
companion MCP servers.

**Core features under consideration:**

- Take lane support (pending Live API improvements)
- Chord notation and pitches as scale/chord degrees
- Bar|beat and MIDI transform notation refinements (including alternate
  notations that may work better with smaller models)
- Device-specific features (EQ 8, Wavetable, etc.)
