1.1.0 Draw your own shapeOctober 2026
- Custom shape. A ninth lane shape you draw yourself: up to 32 points per cycle, every segment can bend, played in sixteen steps or as the smooth curve. Five starting shapes, and double-click and hold to set a point and drag it in one move. Saved with presets and projects, and the same in the DRIFT module of MPE Insight.
- Licence checks through christophek.de. Activation and the regular licence check are answered by our own server and signed, so a forged or intercepted answer counts as no answer. One trial per computer.
- Arp and presets. The arp returns to its own tempo when the host clock stops, the factory presets no longer humanize timing, and the Speed column fits Internal and Host Clock.
1.0.3 Readable in the darkSeptember 2026
From the first customer report, on a 27 inch 4K display: the dim text was too dim.
- Dim labels one step brighter. The caption colour moves from 5.8:1 to 7.5:1 contrast against the card background, same hue.
- A lane that is switched off stays legible. It sits at 60 % instead of 35 % opacity, still clearly off, no longer invisible.
- Locked areas are dimmed once, not twice. The arpeggiator while it is off, the scope and an expired trial were faded by the plugin on top of the toolkit's own fade.
1.0.2 The resize corner on high DPI displaysSeptember 2026
Two window fixes. 1.0.1 carried the first of them and was replaced the same day.
- Dragging the corner no longer wedges the window. With Windows display scaling above 100 %, a drag inward could leave the plugin drawing in the lower left of a black window, header and field cut off. The corner now works in the host's own units.
- A reopened window keeps its size step. Closing and reopening the plugin window at 75 % or 100 % left the controls larger than their labels and cut off the bottom of the window.
1.0.0 First release11 September 2026
