Freeze / Unfreeze for audio, MIDI and instrument tracks, with independent freezing, undo and project-state persistence.
New feature
Offline Render processes selected audio clips and replaces them with rendered files.
The original and subsequent results remain in sampler history, with restoration available through Clip FX.
New feature
Shared Plugins applies one configured chain to multiple tracks or audio clips.
Auditioning uses a source from the selection, and each destination receives independent effect instances.

Local tempo and key analysis with hybrid algorithms, fractional BPM, alternative tempo candidates and explicit ambiguous results. Analysis runs on the CPU without sending audio to a server.

Built-in Doubler / Doubler Pro, Chorus, Flanger and Phaser effects with dedicated panels, factory and user presets, parameter automation and project-state persistence.
Pattern Editor rhythm filling, MIDI drag-and-drop replacement, automatic ghost notes and the sampler's Cut Itself mode.

Redesigned integrated browser with a dark start page, VLTONE branding, search and four pinned services: YouTube, SoundCloud, Splice and Spotify.
New feature
The browser sidebar provides Home, bookmarks, history, downloads and settings.
Tabs, session restoration and audio import remain connected to the application's existing features.
New feature
Browser backgrounds from a collection, local images, GIFs and videos, plus timeline video-background support.
New feature
Notebook with rich-text formatting, a separate window and text linked to project time.
New feature
Optional GPU rendering for the workspace, timeline, mixer and graphical panels.
Compatibility mode and the user's saved setting remain available.
New feature
Expanded audio-device, recording and plugin-failure diagnostics, with updated Russian and English manuals.
Other changes
Multiplayer is excluded from this Windows 0.2.3 build: collaborative-session UI and networking-service injection are disabled at compile time. Local projects and regular account features remain available.
The sampler and audio editor use a more compact layout, with the waveform above the Playback, Envelope and Processing tabs.
Updated context panel, overview strip, grid and automation workflow, including an explicit mode for creating automation by double-clicking.
Drag tempo at 10 pixels per BPM, or 0.1 BPM with Shift. Double-click for numeric entry; each gesture creates a single undo step.
Drag the mixer to the bottom edge to close it. Reopening restores its height from before the gesture.
Updated cutting-tool icon and cursor, with a cut-position guide across the timeline for precise alignment.
Improved sample preparation, PCM reading and dense-project handling. Reduced unnecessary scheduler operations and engine overhead at small audio buffers.
In GPU mode, moving editor windows and resizing the mixer no longer trigger unnecessary redraws of the static timeline.
Removed Discover Music and resource cards from the browser start page. Saved bookmarks remain available in the menu; the pinned area contains only the four selected services.
Refreshed website and admin design, brand icons, release pages, sign-in and account pages. The website remembers the selected language, and previous /ru and /en links continue to work.
Expanded background management, diagnostic history and release-preparation tools in the admin panel.
Bug fixes
DSP failures and missing active plugins no longer result in a silently successful export. Failed passes preserve previous results and remove temporary files.
Fixed latency compensation after offline plugin preparation, handling of plugin reconfiguration requests and export completion with effect tails.
Improved third-party plugin rendering stability on Windows, including a larger stack reserve for offline processing.
Fixed input routing, monitoring, multichannel recording and audio-device recovery issues. Device selection uses stable system identifiers.
Reduced interference with live input from background plugin-state saving. Improved stalled-callback diagnostics and audio-graph error handling.
Improved plugin-window lifetimes, insert drag-and-drop and instrument-track creation, with fixes for closing and restoring editors.
Mouse-wheel and trackpad scrolling over channel and master faders no longer change volume. Fixed accidental parameter changes while scrolling over the inspector and sampler.
Fixed saving, undo / redo and reopening projects using stretch and freeze, with more resilient project recovery after crashes.
Saved sign-in recovers through the system credential vault. Session-refresh retries better tolerate network failures and lost server responses.
Fixed cancelled navigation, popup handling, network-error recovery and browser-tab teardown, including system proxy and VPN support.
Fixed persistent GPU-browser profile setup for the supported Qt version, using the configured profile directories for cookies and cache.
Fixed eviction of freshly loaded PCM pages while warming an audio range, with added concurrent audio-data access checks.
Application shutdown waits for background theme-image reads before Qt releases its graphics plugins. Fixed context-panel background painting on Windows.
Improved admin release-upload handling and error messages, and resolved Qt 6.8 compatibility and Windows build-dependency issues.
Fixed sample-accurate M4A / AAC seeking on Windows: audio at the requested position matches a complete decode without a one-packet AAC offset.
