Platforms
- macOS Apple Silicon: VST3 and Audio Unit (AUv2), macOS 12+.
- Windows x64: VST3, Microsoft Visual C++ v14 Redistributable x64 required.
- Linux x64: experimental VST3, glibc 2.35+, X11/XWayland.

New in 0.0.9
- Recorder. REC (right of the title) records a MIDI keyboard into the
  selected track while the DAW plays: each note lands on the nearest step
  with its NOTE (sample PITCH) and VELOCITY, and the time a key is held sets
  the instrument LENGTH. A step keeps the first note of a chord, a note
  played just before its step does not sound twice, DAW loops record on
  every pass, and one pass (until Stop or REC off) is one Undo step.
- Step recorder: Alt-click REC. A yellow cursor takes one key per step and
  moves on; click a step to move it, the sustain pedal or SKIP leaves a rest.
- While recording, the keyboard plays only the recording track, and a step
  held down with the left mouse button still takes a key as its note.
- REC lights red while waiting for Play, flashes while recording and
  flashes twice for the step recorder, as on Elektron instruments.
- Instrument LENGTH now reaches up to 128 steps and INF, following the
  Elektron LEN scale. Beyond one step the value reads as a number of steps
  (1.06, 6.75, 17); type "1.5 steps", "3/16" or "inf". A long note holds
  through empty steps until the next enabled step; RETRIG, TIE and SLIDE
  decide how it continues.
- Fixed a rare step that could be dropped, or played twice, at the seam
  between two host audio blocks. Every step of continuous playback now
  plays exactly once.
- The empty inspector greets you with a typed phrase and a short hint.
- Updated Russian PDF manual (0.0.9) available from the website.

Highlights
- Instrument and sample tracks are limited by available resources, not a fixed
  internal track count; each has 256 steps on eight pages.
- Per-step notes, velocity, length, probability, retriggers, ties and slides.
- Synth parameter locks and eight-source modulation routing.
- Modulation of track SPEED, including straight, dotted and triplet rates.
- MIDI keyboard note entry for selected or held steps.
- Direct rotary-value entry with Cmd/Ctrl+click; Shift for fine adjustment.
- Plug-in hosting: VST3 on all platforms, plus AUv2 on macOS.

Freeware
Free to use for personal and commercial music production. Your music remains
yours. No account, payment or activation is required. This does not grant
permission to sell or mirror the plug-in; see FREEWARE-LICENSE.txt.
Third-party instruments and samples are installed separately and are not included.

Preview limitations
- macOS bundles are ad-hoc signed, not Developer ID signed or notarized.
  macOS may block downloaded plug-ins. Do not disable system-wide security.
- Windows binaries are not Authenticode signed.
- Windows and Linux use local UTM build/test environments; no real Windows
  or Linux DAW smoke test or native Wayland-only host test has been performed.
- BUILD-REPORT.txt in each archive records checks for that exact binary.
- No CLAP, Intel macOS, Rosetta or native Linux arm64 version is included.
- Existing Bitwig development use does not replace testing on your system.

State compatibility
This version writes schema v38 and accepts saved schemas v20-v38. Version
0.0.8 and older cannot read a project re-saved with 0.0.9. Older projects
sound as before, except a musical LENGTH longer than SPEED on a track that
also has a negative LENGTH MOD or a slower SPEED MOD, which can now play
shorter. Keep a backup of valuable DAW projects before updating.

Each archive contains INSTALL.txt, BUILD-REPORT.txt, these release notes, the freeware licence
and full third-party notices/licences. The SHA256SUMS.txt file alongside
these downloads contains the hashes of the public archives.
