All notable changes to Makonome

1.0.4 October 2026

The Accuracy Trainer is part of Makonome Pro. Turn it on in Settings → Experimental. The Mac version is coming soon to the Mac App Store.

Added

  • Accuracy Trainer: connect an electronic drum kit over MIDI and see live timing for every hit, with a per-drum breakdown, histograms and a beat map
  • Tightness slider to set how strict the timing bands are
  • Free Time mode: after a count-in the click goes silent and Makonome follows your tempo, showing your drift bar by bar
  • Practice mode hides the numbers while you play and reveals a short summary every 4 or 8 bars
  • Record trainer sessions, browse them later, and share them
  • Makonome now runs natively on Mac, with keyboard shortcuts (Space to play or stop, arrows for tempo), a menu bar menu, and the trainer in its own window
  • Choose the scoring grid (quarter, eighth, sixteenth, triplet) and focus on a single drum

Fixed

  • Hits are now scored against when you actually hear the click, not when it was scheduled
  • The trainer reconnects to your MIDI device after the Mac wakes from sleep
