v1.4.0
New Features
Added Sample-Accurate Automation mode: Added a mode that processes Play Rate automation on a per-sample basis. Even with steep automation curves, the pitch envelope no longer becomes stepped and instead follows the shape of the curve accurately. Available in VST3 and CLAP. The default remains the existing Smoothed mode.
Added Step Time: Added a parameter that updates Play Rate at fixed time intervals, creating stepped pitch movements reminiscent of retro game SFX. The available range is 0–250 ms, and the default setting is Off.
Redesigned GUI: Updated the appearance of the sliders and reorganized the parameters into two groups: PLAYBACK and AUTO CLEAR. Parameter labels now display their units. The visualizer legend can be opened using the “?” button in the lower-right corner. Clear Buffer has been moved to the menu.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that could produce noise when extended slow playback exceeded the 15-second buffer limit.
- Fixed a rare click that could occur when playback resumed after silence.
- Fixed an issue where delayed detection of an input transient caused playback to begin slightly late.
- Fixed an issue where the end of slowed-down audio could be cut off during offline rendering in a DAW.
- Fixed an issue where the circle indicating the Silence Threshold barely moved around its default value.
- Fixed an issue that caused the macOS build to be Apple Silicon-only. Intel Macs are now supported.
- Fixed an issue where the license agreement and third-party license pages were not displayed in the macOS installer.
- Improved the security of the license activation system.
v1.3.0
New Features
- MIDI Learn Functionality: You can now assign major parameters, such as Play Rate and Smoothing Type, to your MIDI controller via a right-click.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur if the plugin window was closed while the license dialog was open.
v1.2.0
New Features
- Added a mode to display and control the playback speed parameter in semitones (st), in addition to the conventional rate (x) display.
- Added official support for multi-channel configurations, including surround (5.1/7.1) and Atmos (7.1.2), in addition to stereo.
- Added support for double-precision (64-bit floating point) processing, improving internal calculation accuracy for higher-resolution sound processing.
- Added a "hamburger menu" to the top-right of the UI for managing plugin settings.
- Added an option in the hamburger menu to "Save current settings as default" for the next launch.
- Updated the design of sliders, buttons, and the "About" dialog with a more refined style.
- The Windows and macOS installers now automatically switch between Japanese and English based on the OS language settings.
- Improved the silence detection logic for more stable operation.
- Improved the stability of the license authentication system.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue in the CLAP format where the output channel count was unintentionally limited to stereo (2ch).
v1.1.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the license key was not read correctly when offline.
- Addressed an issue where a security warning would appear when launching the macOS installer.
- Fixed an issue in the macOS installer where plugin formats other than Audio Unit (AU) were set to be installed by default.
v1.1.0
New Features
- Added support for AAX and Audio Unit (AU) plugin formats. This allows Chronoform to be used in DAWs like Pro Tools and Logic Pro.
- Expanded multi-channel support, including standard surround layouts (5.1, 7.1, etc.) and discrete channel configurations.
- Added a new "Smoothing" parameter. Allows finer control over playback rate changes with Linear and Multiplicative modes.
- Added a new visual indicator to show the hysteresis state of the auto-reset system.
- Revamped the parameter smoothing algorithm for more responsive and accurate control.
- Improved the reliability of the auto-buffer-clear system and simplified its logic.
- Improved internal processing precision for higher audio fidelity.
- Shortened the fade-in time when audio resumes, improving responsiveness.
- The position indicator in the buffer visualizer is now scalable.
- Optimized the UI layout for the new smoothing controls.
Fixes
- Fixed potential pop and click noises that could occur when audio playback resumed.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a crash due to an integer overflow during buffer size calculation.
- Fixed an issue where the buffer visualizer's angle display was inaccurate in certain situations.
- Fixed several UI scaling issues related to font size and text field height.
v1.0.2
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where text could not be entered into the slider's text box.
- Fixed an issue where the buffer visualizer's rendering was corrupted at high sample rates.
v1.0.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a crash that occurred at sample rates of 176.4kHz and higher.
v1.0.0
