Ambient Engine Releases Notes

v1.2

July 28, 2026

New Features

Revamped Delay

  • Completely replaced with a newly developed stereo delay. You can set Wet / Feedback / Time (10ms–5000ms). Increasing Feedback adds analog-style saturation. We also reduced noise when changing Time.

Revamped Reverb

  • Completely replaced with a newly developed reverb. You can switch between three types—Room / Plate / Shimmer—and fine-tune space and decay with Wet / Size / Time. Shimmer is a bright, expansive ambient sound with boosted highs.

Added Flutter

  • Added a new Flutter knob to the Drive section. It adds tape-machine-like wow flutter (pitch wobble); the higher the value, the deeper the wobble.

Redesigned the MicroLoop engine

  • Rebuilt the loop playback engine as a dedicated audio unit to reduce click noise at loop boundaries. Time is now displayed in ms (10ms–5000ms).

Enhanced the sample filter

  • Integrated the HI / LO / BAND / COMB filters into a new engine, making changes smooth even during fast Cutoff / Q modulation.

Revamped Drive

  • Replaced with a newly developed Drive, so the amount of distortion now changes smoothly without noise even during fast knob moves or modulation.

Upgrade feature for legacy presets

  • Presets created in v1.1 or earlier will play back with the previous Delay / Reverb sound. Use the `Upgrade` button on the panel to migrate Delay / Reverb to the new engine individually (settings are mapped automatically).

Expanded MIDI assign targets

  • You can now MIDI Learn / assign Flutter and each parameter of the new Delay / Reverb.

Expanded modulation targets

  • You can now set Flutter and the new effect parameters as modulation targets.

Added 4 themes

  • Added “Sunset”, “Candy”, “Aurora”, and “Water” under Settings Appearance.

Layout improvements

  • When using the new effects, the Master section is now displayed in a two-column layout alongside the right side of the Spectrum Analyzer.

Improved preset safety

  • Presets now store the version they were created with. If you open a preset made with a newer version than the one you’re using, a warning with version info is shown and the operation is safely aborted.

Updated the manual

  • Added a guideline for memory usage when loading samples.

Main Fixes

Noise / audio dropouts

  • Fixed an issue where pop noise could occur during window operations (toggling fullscreen, switching apps, right after saving a recording, etc.).
  • Fixed an issue where noise could occur when adjusting Filter Cutoff or during modulation.
  • Fixed an issue where noise could occur when adjusting Samples > Sample Pitch.
  • Fixed an issue where noise could occur when changing per-Voice pitch or MicroLoop pitch.
  • Fixed an issue where noise could occur during fast Drive knob moves or modulation.
  • Fixed an issue where the Voice Timer playback interval could become inaccurate around ~50ms.

Stability

  • Fixed an issue where repeatedly muting Voices could cause the app to crash.
  • Fixed an issue where loading another sample during playback could prevent the sound from switching, stop the playhead, and eventually crash when repeated.
  • Fixed an issue where the audio graph could restart when waking from sleep or while audio was stopped.

Display / rendering

  • Fixed an issue where animations such as the Voice progress bar and spectrum display could stop or stutter while dragging a knob.
  • Fixed an issue where background gradients (e.g., Aurora) could stutter during knob operations.
  • Fixed an issue where a white background could briefly appear on launch, and an issue where the window could briefly look like it shrank.
  • Fixed an issue where the background color right after launch didn’t match the theme.
  • Fixed an issue where the playback position bar didn’t follow when changing Sample Pitch / Voice Pitch.
  • Fixed an issue where the playback position bar could gradually drift between Voices during loop playback.
  • Fixed the playback position display when changing the playback range (slice).
  • Fixed the waveform progress display when Random Range is enabled.

Behavior

  • Fixed an issue where MicroLoop might not work in the state immediately after launch.
  • Fixed an issue where Density modulation wasn’t reflected in the trigger rate of Random triggers.
  • Fixed an issue where operating another knob during modulation could write back the in-motion value to the engine.
  • Fixed an issue where changing/removing a modulation target wouldn’t correctly restore the original parameter value.
  • Fixed an issue where the global pitch setting could be applied twice on MIDI note-on / pitch bend.
  • Fixed an issue where value mapping near the maximum of the Voice Timer wasn’t correct.

Files / security

  • Fixed an issue where, when opening a preset and saving as a new name, the original sample files wouldn’t be copied in “Keep Original Files” mode and would be converted to WAV instead.
  • Strengthened validation for preset files received from external sources (rejecting invalid file references, preventing excessive volume via range checks on settings, etc.).
