discoDSP updates Bliss Sampler to v3.3 and OB-Xd synthesizer to 3.11

Bliss Sampler 3.3 Bliss Sampler has been updated to version 3.3 with the following changes: 1. Audio Processing & Effects: Replaced filters with new generation analog modeled ZDF DSP. Added Sample Editor > Effects > Render Pitch Shift feature for offline pitch processing. Added 4 new automatable parameters for Sample destinations: Pitch Mode, Coarse Tuning, Time Stretch, Fine Tuning. Updated Reverb presets with improved quality and optimized numerical stability in interpolation algorithms. 2. Sample Management & Workflow: Added Sample Editor > Effects > Batch Crossfade Render functionality for processing multiple samples efficiently. Changed loop crossfade range to 2-15% for more precise control and better musical results. Fixed 'Save Samples In Plugin' state bug preventing proper sample handling when disabled. Enhanced program-level source file reference system supporting all formats (.zbp, SFZ, EXS, SF2, etc.). Improved sample loading resilience with better error recovery for corrupted or missing files. Added comprehensive error logging for missing sample files with specific file paths and zone information. Resolved boundary condition clicks through improved area calculations, proper bounds checking, and enhanced loop content preservation. 3. Interface & Usability: Added the MIDI CC number display to the macro editor. Improved Macro Edit Window parameter selection with hierarchical submenus and user-friendly labels. Enhanced Macro edit remove button behavior. Comprehensive bubble tooltip system with descriptive help for all interface buttons including zone controls, macro assignments, and effect parameters. Improved sample editor playback cursor with waveform-aware visualization and smooth 60Hz updates for better user experience. Sensitivity parameter descriptions correctly and specifically reference their corresponding base parameters. Consistent and intuitive display format across both the sample editor knobs and macro editor parameter ranges. Improved pitch parameter display and labeling. Added Shift+click navigation through files in Program Selector and fixed Reverb label preventing unwanted preset folder creation. 4. Visual Interface: Introduced 3D rendered knobs with realistic depth, lighting effects, and enhanced shadows for professional appearance. Added subtle 3D text effects with top lighting and depth shadows for all UI elements, optimized to keep LCD fonts crisp. 5. Performance & Technical Improvements: Added parallel sample loading with 3-pass approach and enhanced DAW project save/load performance using 24-thread pool for modern multi-core systems. Implemented adaptive drive detection with automatic parallel/serial loading based on storage type (SSD vs HDD) using 64KB I/O timing tests. Thread-Safe Time Stretch engine Parameter Management with enhanced stability for reliable multi-threaded processing. Remove Lua scripting dependency and implement native format importers for improved performance and reduced complexity. Enhanced memory alignment to 32-byte for AVX2 compatibility and improved bounds checking for phase speed calculations with better stability. Streamlined ARM NEON performance by replacing individual lane operations with direct memory-to-vector loading and eliminating redundant switch statements. Optimized coefficient array initialization with proper alignment for all SIMD instruction sets and enhanced FMA utilization for higher precision. Location-specific optimization for mixed storage environments with robust error handling and graceful fallback to serial loading. Enhanced thread-safe implementation with automatic fallback mechanisms and improved memory safety across all SIMD code paths. 6. System Stability: Fixed non-realtime mode switching to only process actual state changes. Reduced excessive logging spam in realtime mode through improved state change detection. Several Stability Enhancements and Bug Fixes. Bliss 3.3 is a free upgrade for all existing 2.x customers and is available as Standalone, AU, VST2, and VST3 versions for Windows (10+), macOS (10.14+), and Linux (Ubuntu 20+) with Universal Binary 2 and native Apple Silicon support. More details and download information can be found at Bliss page. OB-Xd Synthesizer 3.11 Bliss Sampler has been updated to version 3.3 with the following changes: 1. Performance & Optimization: Cached getPopupMenuFont Font for improved performance. Replaced long if-chain with dictionary lookup in loadSkin function for code optimization. Implemented optimized asset loading system. 2. MIDI Features: Added Menu > MIDI > Show CC Mappings feature. CC mappings will automatically refresh whenever a different MIDI mapping file is selected. 3. Preset Management: Added Reload Preset function. Fixed preset menu not showing in search mode - allow menu creation when search is active regardless of folder validity. Fixed preset name label clicks not working after search dialog - removed interfering focus restoration timers. 4. Bug Fixes: Fixed OSC 2 Detune knob default value. Added license folder write permissions check. UI Improvements. Slight file menu item redesign. OB-Xd 3.11 is a free upgrade for all existing 3.x customers and is available as Standalone, AU, VST2, and VST3 versions for Windows (10+), macOS (10.14+), and Linux (Ubuntu 20+) with Universal Binary 2 and native Apple Silicon support.
