v0.6.2

VLTONE 0.6.2 adds ARA 2 support for compatible VST3 editors. This release also introduces spectral editing and audio restoration, the Mutation instrument, VLT 76 compression, Piano Roll vibrato, and additional instrument outputs. VLT 1073, editor workflows, and downloadable devices have been updated, alongside further audio-engine and interface optimization.

New in 0.6.2

ARA 2 support

Compatible VST3 editors can access track audio clips through ARA. The editor is pinned before the regular effects chain.

Read moreShow less: ARA 2 support
  • ARA supports mono and stereo tracks in local projects; ordinary VST3 loading remains available.
  • Corrections are stored with the project. Bypass restores the original audio, and committing creates a separate processed version.
  • This is an early integration: compatibility depends on the plugin. RX 11 has not passed playback validation, and the complete edit, save, and export workflow with commercial editors still needs further qualification.

Spectral editor: time-frequency selection, gain, and preview controls.

Spectral editor

Edit specific parts of a sound in time and frequency: select a region on the spectrogram and audition the result before applying it.

  • Rectangle, brush, and lasso selection, with additive and subtractive regions.
  • Gain, erase, and fades with feathered selection boundaries.
  • Audition the selected signal or remainder, compare A/B, and undo changes.

Audio restoration

Restoration tools are available inside the spectral editor: remove clicks, reduce noise, and attenuate reverberation.

  • De-click and a dedicated mouth-click mode.
  • Noise-profile learning and adjustable voice protection.
  • De-reverb, adjustable processing strength, and preview before applying.

Noise reduction: noise profile, attenuation, smoothing, and voice protection.

Mutation: new timbres from a sample

Load a short sound and progressively transform its spectral structure. Play the instrument over MIDI while the next generation is being prepared.

Read moreShow less: Mutation: new timbres from a sample
  • Time, speed, and mutation-strength controls, pitch preservation, and return to the original.
  • Sustain and one-shot modes with an Attack / Hold / Decay / Sustain / Release envelope.
  • Sound and state are stored in the project, with Undo / Redo and sample drops onto the microscope.

Mutation: sample transformation and a five-stage amplitude envelope.

VLT 76

A new built-in FET compressor with a hardware-style panel and analog meter.

Read moreShow less: VLT 76
  • Input, Output, Attack, and Release controls, plus ratio buttons.
  • Meter modes for monitoring gain reduction and output level.
  • Device parameters and state are saved with the project.

Vibrato directly on the note

A new Piano Roll tool lets you draw and adjust vibrato in the context of a MIDI phrase.

Read moreShow less: Vibrato directly on the note
  • Adjust the note region, vibrato depth, and rate.
  • Edit depth and rate envelopes using control points and a visible waveform.
  • Audition changes, save them in the project, and use Undo / Redo.

Separate instrument outputs

Route additional outputs from multi-output instruments to separate channels for independent mixing.

Read moreShow less: Separate instrument outputs
  • Outputs appear as child tracks and mixer channels.
  • Independent level, pan, and processing for individual instrument parts.
  • Routing settings are stored with the project.

Additional instrument outputs in the mixer: separate Snare Top and Kick channels.

Downloadable devices and CL1

A new system supports optional device packs. CL1 is provided as a separate Windows x64 pack.

Read moreShow less: Downloadable devices and CL1
  • Package signature and integrity checks during installation and loading.
  • Projects retain the exact device version; missing packs preserve settings and offer a download.
  • CL1 offers optical compression, FIX / DUAL / MAN timing modes, and LINK groups.

Other changes

  • Editors can be docked in the workspace; window placement and editor switching have been refined.
  • Audio editors can work across clips on a track, allowing clip switching without opening another window.
  • Updated VLT 1073 visuals and controls; refined VLT 2A, Wavetable, the rack, and device panels.
  • Further internal subsystems now use Rust: MIDI, playback lookahead, modulation, waveform construction, pitch analysis, and vocal alignment.
  • Optimized timeline navigation and repainting, inline mixer EQ rendering, and audio task distribution across workers.
  • Strengthened macOS packaging checks and removed duplicate QML components.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed editor and background-task lifetime issues when closing or replacing a project.
  • Refined catalogue searches through filesystem aliases and temporary-data cleanup.
  • Fixed minimum control heights, hidden interface layers, and track-icon selection with Enter.
  • Improved ARA handling with older scanner caches: the selected plugin capabilities are refreshed before track insertion.
  • Spectral processing is safely discarded when switching clips, closing the editor, or replacing the project.
