Changelogs summarised from the manufacturer's release notes.
1.17.0
2026-07-01
Added the Rotary, Vowel Filter, More Like Space, and VCF (24dB/oct LP) algorithms.
The various Sample Player algorithms now support time-stretch, with options for time domain stretching and Phase Vocoder spectral domain stretching.
The various polysynths, when in MPE mode, now support playing the same note multiple times at once.
Added support for MIDI velocity and pressure curves to all remaining polysynths (as added to Poly Wavetable in v1.16.0).
Added support for mapping parameters to be controlled by MIDI pitch bend.
The Temporal Freeze algorithm's "Octave down" feature has been replaced by a more general "Detuned" feature, supporting smooth transition to the detuned versions, and microtuning from Scala files.
Added the 'Next hold order' and 'Mixed play/stop' parameters to the Looper algorithm.
The Looper algorithm now has support for syncing loops 2-4 to loop 1.
Added support for MIDI/I2C velocity scaling to the Envelope (AR/AD) algorithm.
Added support for zero-cross detection to the VCA/Multiplier algorithm.
Added min/max note parameters to the MIDI Filter algorithm.
Added support for oscillator sync to the VCO - Wavetable algorithm.
Added the 'No-play dry gain' parameter to the Kirbinator algorithm.
Added the 'Apply global tuning' and 'Voice allocation' parameters to the Poly CV algorithm.
Added the 'Knob record min playback' global setting.
Fixed an issue with the Macro Oscillator 2 'Harmonic' model.
Fixed a crash when using 'insert' rather than 'add' to add an algorithm in an empty preset.
Fixed an issue where the Auto-calibrator algorithm's pitch tracking could lock up when loading a preset.
Fixed an issue with the Envelope (DAHDSR) algorithm's End of cycle and Active outputs.
Fixed a hang when loading a preset containing a Euclidean Patterns algorithm with MIDI output.
