[[Attachment:0]]A new Beta update is available.
Key Features
VST Bridge
The new VST Bridge brings generic VST3 plugin support to Studio. You can finally bring your favourite third-party plugins into your Audiotool projects.
Micro Tuning
You can now change the base frequency of the project and create different tunings for devices. This opens up alternative tuning systems and fine-tuning across your setup.
Cable Colours
You can now change the colours of your cables to help with visually navigating the routing in Studio. Especially useful in larger patches where signal flow can get hard to follow at a glance.
Step-Range Copy/Paste (Machiniste & Patterns)
Pattern copy/paste behaviour has been improved, and you can now copy and paste pattern pages (step-ranges) with full shortcut support. Faster pattern building, less repetitive clicking.
Mixer Improvements
The mixer now has a horizontal scrollbar for projects with many channels. Strips can be renamed by double-clicking the header, grouped and un-grouped via the context menu, and multi-select has been improved so most actions can be applied to a selection of strips rather than just one. Bouncing also works across multiple selected strips now.
Audio Engine
*Updated engine and Booster to version 0.5.8, and VST Bridge to version 1.1.0
*Pulverisateur: Fixed envelope initialization bug (decay loop)
*Bassline: Fixed crash when pattern length is 0
*Heisenberg: Fixed filter initialization bug, Pitch Envelope loop toggle
*Beatbox 8 & 9: Fixed various sound issues
*Rasselbock: Fixed order of effects being applied to the sound

*Booster on macOS: opening the app from browser or system links is more reliable
UI Updates
*Mixer: Added ability to rename strips by double-clicking the header
*Mixer: Added group/un-group actions to the context menu
*Mixer & Stagebox: Improved multi-select behaviour, most actions can now be applied to a selection of strips rather than just one
*Mixer & Stagebox: Added missing Ctrl+A shortcut
*Mixer strip bounce: Now allows selection of multiple strips
*Grooves: Impact control remapped to 0–100 range for more intuitive use
*Heisenberg: Reintroduced Poly Legato mode and renamed playback modes
*Added more ways to upload samples via dedicated button in library and audio-track context menu
*Added options to the 'Download'/'Render' dialog, change file name and choose between rendering just the loop or the full project
*When changing presets on a device, device name now automatically updates to the preset name
*Improved cable contrast during cue mode
*Improved hit-areas for controls on Beatbox 8, Beatbox 9, Bassline and Machiniste
*Improved track header layout
*'Starting View' dialog made less annoying, now defaults to 'Pick Sounds & Compose' if no selection is made
*Improved collaboration stability and performance
*Various performance optimizations
UI Bug Fixes

*Library: Fixed 'Favorite' button not working for samples and not appearing in the preset callout
*Timeline: Fixed occasional crashing due to re-ordering of tracks
*Timeline: Fixed crash from copy-dragging regions from one track to another
*Timeline: Fixed crash from using 'Join and Flatten' on automation regions with points on the edges
*Timeline: Fixed inverted 'Mute' context menu option for regions
*Timeline: Fixed region overlap handling
*Timeline: Fixed tempo automation being incorrectly disabled during track export
*Timeline: Fixed transport snap position not being rounded correctly
*Audio Merger/Splitter: Added missing automation context menu items for mix position, fixed inverted blend-mode toggle
*Automation: Fixed bypass controls on several devices being recorded as continuous rather than discrete
*Beatbox 8 & 9: Remapped drum MIDI interpretation so regions moved between Gakki, Beatbox 8 and Beatbox 9 play correctly
*Centroid: Fixed missing tooltip values on empty channel label fields
*Desktop: Fixed devices not reappearing after being dragged outside of the desktop bounds
*Heisenberg, Gravity, Pulverisateur & Space: Fixed incorrect labels around envelopes and LFOs
*Heisenberg: Fixed crash resulting from invalid envelope time values
*Machiniste: Fixed modulation depth for a step not resetting when a step is de-activated, fixed textures of the page selection buttons
*Note Editor: Fixed context menu not opening
*Quantum: Fixed flipped band bypass button
*Recording: Fixed unwanted automation tracks being created when applying a preset
*Recording: Fixed unwanted pattern tracks being created when collab partner changes device patterns
*Space: Fixed envelope graphic bug
*Waveshaper: Added missing 'oversampling' control, fixed on/off switches not behaving correctly when automated
*Various texture fixes on devices still rocking the old designs
*Various small fixes to device control tooltips and value mapping
Keep testing in new projects. Let us know what still needs work.

:O This is so monumental
I don't think we can go anywhere else from here. I think you guys finished audiotool :')
The humble Heisenberg vs. the billionaire Phaseplant...
Anywhose, this is very cool and not something I expected to see happen.
Regardless of the vst support, I'd love more native tools too. I think that would be cool. And I know there are plans for that and I'm just excited to see it happen.
NO FUCKEN WAY
Basically FL Studio But Free
dude, i was not expecting vst support this early tbh. huge ups to the devs!
@moderator yo, how do i get this shit working
thanks for the horizontal scroll bar too
nvm u got it working
Is it possible that I can finally use a proper YM2612 plugin? Probably not.
They did it bros, they added vst3 support with bridging. We have never been more back
If possible, then I might start using it there.
Early version. Help us find what’s not working or should be different. And have fun ;)
Agreed <3
Not done yet at all. ;)
so how does the vst bridge work? do i need to download something? can't find any info on it around here or the video
the vst device says i need a "vst bridge app" where do i get this app?
https://beta.audiotool.com/vst-bridge
fails to start for me, i submitted a bug report
Do you have serum 2 in there by chance?
VST3 SUPPORT LFG 😍💜🔥💯
oh, i haven't even tried to load a plugin. i just can't start the bridge at all
I wasn’t referring to loading a plugin. We have seen issues with Serum 2 being inside the plugin folder and the VST Bridge crashing on startup on Windows. I was wondering if it’s a similar thing on Linux.
ohh. no i do not have serum2
i think it fails on something else regarding unable to start the dsp through alsa
audiotool now loads a free copy of soothe2 straight into the master chain against your will.
yall this is huge
@noah_cheng @itsyahboi let's load 50 zenologys
100 serum 2s please
ehh fadda goddd
this is nuts i’m freaking out
Somebody calm this man.
OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY HAPPENING
What's the latest booster?
nvm found it
i just loaded in my fabfiler Q3... if i can make VOCAL chains in here now, its game over
Did it work?
yah it keeps crashing
I've filled out the report though
yup! i was able to use Q3 AND a UA tape emulation plugin through audiotool on Apple Silicon. gonna push the limits to see what i can do in terms of vocals now
once i get nexus 2 running on this bad boy its so over
The VST bridge is also the latest booster
Did you try already? Let us know about problems.
Question? @moderator, Will there be a way to add/view effects on individual channel strips via mixer?
You gave me access to vital ❤️
The Stagebox lets you set up FX inserts that can be used as send effects on each channel strip in the mixer. And since you can create as many FX inserts as you want (as far as I tried) you can basically give every single channel strip its own dedicated effects chain.
Hope that's what you meant?
Not yet! I had some issue running my plugins as the studio kept crashing every time it connected to the VST Bridge.
Nexus 2 is a 32bit DLL VST but the workaround is using jbridge but I’m trying to figure out how
Might buy nexus 5 to make audiotool complete
This is very impressive, can't wait to test this !
Yeah, the VST bridge keeps crashing
hasn't vital always been free though?
Do you have serum 2 in your vst3 folder. ?
no
I’ll get you a Grammy and billboard top 10 chart with you just trust me
i really am proud of audiotool
gamechanger. Who is an ableton?
Can you share the system details you’re currently using?
Just some silly music corporation
The prophesied day has come
Bridgement Day
I’m on the latest version for Apple Silicon and I’m on chrome
I meant access to vital in AT
Major updates have returned! At this point, you guys got to turn AT into a standalone app, I don't even care if it's electron based, but this is the logical next step. I haven't tried any of the new AT updates, but at least from the outside looking in, major progress seem to have been made, keep it up!
All you guys need is a 1/3 or triplets option in the Midi section and beta will be complete
This is what I’m hoping for so I can use it everywhere
Agreed they do need to add the triplet option
I think they should have both as an option because not everyone will have the option to download the app. But having both an option would be cool.
You mean ability to draw triplets with eg a dedicate tool? Because the grid-size can be set to eg 16T = triplets.
Or, what do you mean exactly?
guys you can already do that
still no 808 slides with the machinist L
Just use the rasselbock
thats boring
Well too bad 🤷🏽♂️
Why don't you try one of these free vst samplers? https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2010/09/28/bpb-freeware-studio-best-free-vsti-samplers/
wow, what a thumbnail
My fellow artist, just make your 808 a synth and you'll have slides for days on end.
we're just getting started :D
If I can even find a supported YM2612 plugin.
okay
i only use oneshots
The Heisenberg has good presets on jt
I love you
Audiotool loves you back
Do y'all need the crash log?
The most helpful thing, admittedly, would be if you filled out this feedback form https://tally.so/r/mD87Pp then a ticket would be created automatically. Any clues would help: system info, screenshots, videos, and a crash log too
wait so 16T was triplets all along?
oh god i am so stupid
Maybe we should just offer an obvious Triplet button separate from the grid size.
nah, let them learn
I mean it couldn’t hurt
especially for the blind and stupid
well that wont make the blind and stupid learn
i love both of u
Will you guys be adding more stock effects and synthesizers in the future for people who cant use vst plugins
If not as an external plugin, will you be able to add a built-in YM2612 FM Synth for people who don't have the time for installing plugins?
@moderator more stock pluggin would be nice
Same issue here. It started at first but now it won't open after I specified the VST location.
there’s just too many benefits to a desktop version to NOT have the option atp
No but it’ll still be pretty convenient though
Let's see if it works after a whole pc reboot.
More stock devices will come for sure!!
Some sort of a locally running app is one of our goals. A bit out of reach and not in focus yet but sometimes things also move suddenly very fast. So let’s see where this takes us.
I guess you could run an 808 vst like the 808 cooker
i would pay for that bro
You don’t have the time to install a plug in?
I can't even install the VST Bridge App, the stupid ass Microsoft Dowloads flags the .exe file as "not safe".
Its safe just press advance anyways
It literally doesn't download, there is no advance button anyway.
<3
To all in the AT team, putting in the time, and effort on making AT better. Respect to all of you guys, but, I'm concerned. So much so, that I feel I need to say this, and hope that the AT Team reads this message. There's a transition happening in the Social community for AT. I'm slowly watching a lot of pro's in AT, fade away, disappear. WHERE DID ALL THE PRO'S GO? This major update for AT needs to happen, like soon. I think AT, has already lost a lot of players, good sounding pro's. I could be wrong, but, if sure feels like, by the time AT officially launches the new AT, it will be too late, and they'll have lost a lot of pro level producers. Seriously...I used to have friends that I could talk to and relate too...For 1 being around my age, and 2 they know how to sound like pro's. ALL I SEE...these days in the Social community, is YOUTH. I mean YOUTH, EVERWHERE!!! I know they're the next gen for producers, but lets face it, most of em, just don't know what they're really doing. Unclean, poor quality loudness/sound, unnaturally distorted basses and basslines that are trying blow someone's speakers. That's if they can get their track loud enough. Most of them don't know how I guess. A lot of them, just won't listen to anyone for help or tips. I don't know....I'm not speaking about anyone in particular, but, we are losing a lot of quality producers. Sad part is....I'm about to be one of them. Not cool.
Not to mention....for all those in YOUTH, that are still stuck in the Stone Age,with this old AT version, all you need to wake up, and realize that these changes are gonna happen. I feel like most of em aren't gonna have a clue of what to do, when the new AT officially launches. Which will also lead to losing some in the AT community. Honestly though, this update has to happen. Once finished and officially launched, that will be the day that AT will finally be able to match up to all the Professional DAWS!!!
nvm, got it working
Same here.
Nevermind, just had to reload twice.
It would be really cool to have an actual Genesis YM1612 device, rather than being stuck with the Heisenberg.
Time to abandon Ableton
I got my request for color cables w
same
I have like a billion BORROWED vsts (friends share licenses. not pirated) VSTs and they seem to not work. it just crashes the vst link lmao. probably too much for it to handle
Side note: license sharing is often considered piracy ;)
About the crashes: please fill out the feedback form with your system details and the plugin names so we can look into it Thanks
rrrrrrrrr
NEW VST Bridge out: https://github.com/audiotool/vst-bridge-releases/releases/tag/v1.1.1
This also crashes on startup on my Mac Silicon
sending another feedback form
The crash logs are in ips. but the feedback form can't support it
The day.
https://www.audiotool.com/track/z06q7cxbq/
Orchstrated Astral Aurora gonna be SO much easier to try
Holy SHIT, I can put Nexus 4 in AT.
God loves me. I WIN.
it fixed the crashing after a restart thank you 👍
wow
I don't want to sign in again
zer in the big 26 hot dog
Where do I find the link to the 0.5.8 version of the booster? im still on 0.5.6
Or do I just download v1.1.1 of the VSTBridge?
Yes. Someone already asked here and apparently VSTBridge is now the new booster.
I’ve kinda fixed it. The VST bridge is having a hard time compiling some of the plugins I have, so the VST bridge would crash. I’m still trying to identify all the plugins that are giving it problems
The new VST Bridge is also the newest booster https://github.com/audiotool/vst-bridge-releases/releases/tag/v1.1.1
@abedubabe sounds very good. would be great if you could share your result here or via feedback form. best the latter. even if it's not a final state or you dont know all details. knowing which ones work and which ones dont helps us a lot. dont forget to mention the os you use.
New VST Bridge out: https://github.com/audiotool/vst-bridge-releases/releases/tag/v1.1.2
ive dreamt for this day
finally lossy and serum with audiotool devices
is it possible to take fl stock plugins and put them into audiotool?
If they’re VST3 plugins, that should work. But most of the newer FL Studio stock plugins aren’t regular standalone VST3 plugins though
honestly, one of the biggest things that was missing from AT
I think vocal recording should be better. Anyone else agree?
so just made a bug report but i actually solved the issue.
so just made a bug report but i actually solved the issue.
even if you reinstall it the settings are saved somewhere
move your vst3 folder
otherwise, it will crash before it even loads, which makes it look like a dud
you can change the folder to something with friendlier plugins after it loads
