- Crucible 0.3.0: Keep takes.
- Patina 0.4.0: Tone guard and the Bass line preset.
- Planish 0.1.0 is already at its first version.
- Update the current version in every plugin guide; several still named an
older release.
docs/chain.md gives the plugin order for a bass track and the bus, the
latency each plugin adds, and the measured octave error of downstream
note trackers after Knurl: from C2 up the tracker reads an octave low
about 85 % of the time, and timing jitter adds 5-25 false note starts
per second. Knurl and Anvil guides point there and recommend MIDI as
the pitch source after Knurl.
docs/ideas.md gains the production-flow audit, next steps for every
released plugin, new ideas (Forge, Planish, Quench, Scribe, Bevel,
Peen) and a build order.
Knurl follows the played note and treats every cycle of the wave on its
own: a repeating level pattern over 1-16 cycles makes subharmonics in tune
with every note, random level and timing per cycle add rattle, and a noise
burst per cycle, highpassed at a multiple of f0, adds grit. Amounts are
counted in cycles, so the texture is the same on F1 and on C2.
- Cycle clock from the shared note tracker, restarted at each note; the
audio is delayed by the lookahead plus 4.2 ms of timing-jitter headroom.
- Per-cycle randomness from a hash of the cycle number: Same every note
or Free.
- Patterns Off, Double, Triple, Fry (default), Gallop, Stutter or drawn;
grit switchable per step. Pattern persisted as knurl-pattern.
- Editor: last eight cycles overlaid, pattern bars with the playing step.
- Tests match the prototype: Double gives f0/2 at -8.19 dB, Triple f0/3
at -10.68 dB, equal on F1 and C2, no added clicks, bit-exact when off,
no allocation on the audio thread.
