v0.5.1

VLTone 0.5.1 makes everyday music production more convenient. This update adds a MIDI Generator, parameter modulation in Rack, Morph and Flux multi-effects, and the VLT 1073 preamp/EQ. Sampler, Master, editors, settings and the built-in browser have also been refined, with further work on navigation smoothness, audio processing load, project saving and plugin behavior.

New in VLTone 0.5.1

MIDI

Turn an idea into a MIDI phrase

The new MIDI Generator helps you start a melody or chord progression. Choose a key, length and character, compare variations, then continue editing the result with the regular Piano Roll tools.

  • Generate melodies and chords with density, variation, range and swing controls. Another MIDI phrase in the project can provide the harmonic context.
  • Compare three variations and audition them through the track instrument. Replace notes within the generated range or add to the existing phrase; applying the result supports Undo.
  • Piano Roll note splitting now offers a preview before applying, including pitch changes across the resulting pieces. Selection, edge editing and MIDI-tool audition have also been refined.

Modulation

Modulate parameters directly in Rack

LFO and Envelope Follower are now separate modules. Add a modulation source, assign a parameter and set its depth, from a rhythmic filter to processing that responds to another track’s level.

  • LFO runs in host sync or in hertz. Envelope Follower responds to its own input or a selected track, with sensitivity, attack, release and detector filters to shape its response.
  • Use Assign and select a knob, or find a parameter in the list. Arcs show the range and current result. Adjust direction and depth while retaining the parameter’s base value.
  • Assignments are stored in local projects and chain presets, with duplication and Undo support. Collapsing Rack does not stop modulation. Shared editing of these modules is not yet supported.

Effects

Morph and Flux — new textures and rhythms

Two new multi-effects for experimenting with sound. Morph combines modulation effects with image-driven motion, while Flux builds rhythmic processing from curves, steps and scenes.

  • Morph combines Chorus, Flanger, Phaser and Doubler. Flow and Canvas let you blend their character, import an image and define a motion path. Macros, LFOs, Envelope Follower and factory presets are available.
  • Flux offers motion curves, a step sequencer, scenes, macros and XY control. Serial, parallel and multiband routing let you build your own chain, with 100 factory presets as starting points.
  • Random variations provide new starting points, while locks retain selected settings. Save presets for later projects. Processing load and interface updates have also been refined in both effects.

Mixing

VLT 1073 — preamp and EQ

A new built-in processor for color and tonal shaping. MIC and LINE input modes, a three-band EQ, a low-cut filter and a separate output level are combined in one device.

  • Set input gain and processing character, then shape the high, mid and low bands. The microphone mode provides PAD and input impedance controls.
  • Essential parameters are available in Rack, with the full editor in a separate window. Numeric entry, automation, Undo and project saving are supported.
  • The regular Equalizer has also been refined, including its analyzer, band selection, frequency labels, compact view and light theme.

Rack and Master

More control without extra windows

Sampler now has a dedicated Rack card with a waveform and envelope. Mini-modules, effect views and the Master panel have been refined so more controls stay within the workspace.

Read moreShow less: More control without extra windows
  • Switch between Sampler playback and envelope pages, then adjust nodes and controls beside the waveform. Envelope handles, Warp interaction and the compact view have been refined.
  • Effect and mini-module cards make better use of available space. Collapsing, horizontal scrolling, device dragging, sends and pattern-instrument views have been improved.
  • The Master panel brings together VU, peak level, LUFS, RMS and correlation, master effects and output controls. A separate analysis-plugin section observes the final signal without changing the sound.

Workspace

Find the setting you need

Settings now has reorganized navigation and search that takes you to the matching control. The built-in browser makes tabs, bookmarks and downloads easier to manage without leaving the project.

Read moreShow less: Find the setting you need
  • Search shows the section and location of each setting; choosing a result opens the relevant page. Setting groups, light and dark themes, scaling and small-window layouts have been refined.
  • The browser provides searchable tabs, history and bookmarks. Context menus offer duplicate, mute and reopen actions, with more reliable session restoration.
  • Downloads display file size and status, with pause, resume and cancel controls. Downloaded audio can be imported into the project again directly from the list.

Settings search with section paths and direct navigation to a control.

More new features

  • Piano Roll gains expanded MIDI-tool previews, phrase generation and note splitting, with audition and inspection before applying changes.
  • The Master panel adds expanded meters and a separate analysis-plugin section for monitoring the final signal.
  • Rack supports standalone LFO and Envelope Follower modules, device-parameter assignments, and automation of modulation rate and depth.

Other changes

  • Scrolling, zooming and long-arrangement overviews have been refined. Grids, notes and Sequence steps remain clearer when zoomed out, with sharper selections and clip edges at different UI scales.
  • Reduced redundant timeline, Piano Roll and mixer rendering work. Hidden panels and unchanged elements do less work, improving responsiveness in busy projects.
  • Updated the audio editor, Warp controls, built-in device editors and window appearance. Sampler envelopes, knobs, tooltips and Russian translations have been refined.
  • Automatic Warp analysis is triggered explicitly with Auto Warp. Sampler integration and the editor’s tool presentation have been refined.
  • Improved VLT Pitch tracking and processing quality. Small-buffer audio processing and plugin-load notifications have also been refined.
  • The AI assistant has refinements to musical context, generation and editing tools. Creator interactions and interface updates have also been improved.
  • Updated website screenshots and video, the capabilities page and the text manual. Added a Boosty option for supporting development.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed cases of missing or incorrectly drawn notes and steps while zooming. Removed extra dark fill around audio fade curves.
  • Refined Pattern and Sequence behavior, dense-phrase rendering and content updates after editing.
  • Fixed channel and parameter switching in the automation editor, with more reliable restoration of curve-to-device links.
  • Fixed cases involving plugin dragging, editor opening and closing, theme changes and state restoration. Audio protection after plugin failures has also been refined.
  • Improved plugin-state checks before saving, retrying a failed save and project recovery.
  • Fixed edge cases in selection, note splitting and length editing, audition and Undo/Redo.
  • Refined track-folder deletion, pinned Master placement, Rack geometry and auxiliary-window position saving.
  • Fixed specific playback dropouts and offline-processing differences, with optimizations to MIDI controllers and the audio graph.
