chore: release Crucible 0.3.0, Patina 0.4.0 and Planish 0.1.0

- 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.
feat(planish): add Planish harmonic OTT

+Riddim and dubstep basses change patch on every switch-up. Fixed-frequency tools
+then act differently on every note: the sub jumps, an EQ cut lands on another
+harmonic, the distortion gets fizzy on one note and dull on the next. Most plugins
+in this suite follow the played note, so a setting means the same thing on every
+note. Each plugin is a separate product with its own version, guide and release.

+Plugins with latency report it to the host, so FL Studio compensates the delay.
+Anvil, Lathe, Temper, Knurl and Planish detect pitch from the audio. They can also take the
+pitch from MIDI. The order of the plugins matters: see [Signal chain](docs/chain.md).

 The names come from metalwork: a **rivet** joins pieces; **patina** changes a
-surface while leaving its character. They share a Rust foundation and keep
-their own musical purpose, code, documentation, and version.
+surface and keeps its character; an **anvil** is the solid base that everything
+is struck on; a **crucible** melts material down to be cast again; a **lathe**
+turns a piece so each cut lands the same all the way round; **tempering** sets

 ## Install

-Download the desired plugin's Windows ZIP from its Gitea release. Extract it
-and copy `Rivet.clap` or `Patina.clap` into:
+1. Open the plugin's release on Gitea. Every plugin has its own release tag,
+   for example `lathe-v0.1.0`.
+2. Download `<plugin>-windows-x86_64-<version>.zip`. You can check it against
+   the `.zip.sha256` file next to it.
+3. Extract the ZIP and copy the `.clap` file into:

-```text
-C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\
+   ```text
+   C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\
+   ```
+
+4. In FL Studio 2024.1 or newer, open **Options → Manage plugins**, enable
+   **Verify plugins**, and click **Find installed plugins**.
+5. Load Rivet in the Channel Rack. Load the other plugins in mixer effect slots.
+
+Keep the font license (`licenses/`) with redistributed packages.
+
+Every branch and pull-request pipeline also builds a combined Windows preview
+ZIP, `bass-foundry-windows-x86_64.zip`, in its **windows** job. Use it to test unreleased changes.
+
+> **Upgrading from an earlier build?** The CLAP IDs changed from
+> `io.storyboard.*` to `io.narl.bass-foundry.<product>`, so hosts see each
+> plugin as new. Delete the old `.clap` files, rescan, and add the plugins again
+> in existing projects. Motif Storyboard and Resonance Compressor are now Rivet
+> and Patina, and the vendor is "Bass Foundry".
+
+## Build from source
+
+You need:
+
+- Rust stable and Python 3.11 or newer.
+- For the Windows target on Linux: the `x86_64-pc-windows-gnu` Rust target and
+  MinGW (`x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc`).
+- For the native wrapper tests on Linux: pkg-config and the X11/XCB and OpenGL
+  development headers. Rivet's optional standalone also needs ALSA/JACK headers.
+
+```sh
+# Tests for all engines, editors and tools
+cargo test --workspace --locked
+
+# Formatting, tests and lints for one product, including its CLAP wrapper
+python3 scripts/check-plugin.py --plugin lathe
+
+# Windows build, then the ZIPs (all plugins, or --plugin <name>)
+python3 scripts/build-plugin.py --plugin lathe --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
+python3 scripts/package-windows.py
+
+# Headless editor preview
+cargo run --manifest-path tools/editor-check/Cargo.toml -- target/editor/lathe.png --plugin lathe
 ```

-In FL Studio 2024.1 or newer, open **Options → Manage plugins**, enable
-**Verify plugins**, and **Find installed plugins**. Load Rivet in the Channel Rack;
-load Patina in a mixer effect slot.
+Plugin names for the scripts are `rivet`, `patina`, `anvil`, `crucible`,
+`lathe`, `temper`, `weld`, `knurl` and `planish`. Builds go to `dist/<target>/<Name>.clap`. No
+script installs anything into a DAW. [Development and testing](docs/development.md)
+has the full command list.

-Normal branch/PR pipelines also provide a combined Windows preview ZIP in the
-**windows** job. Releases are separate: `rivet-v0.3.0` and `patina-v0.2.0`
-publish independently. See [release workflow](docs/releases.md).
+## Quality checks

-These names replace Motif Storyboard and Resonance Compressor. Their CLAP IDs
-and saved-state identifiers are preserved; replace old scanned copies and rescan.
+Every push and pull request runs these checks in CI
+(`.gitea/workflows/check.yml`):
+
+- **Engine tests.** Every engine has tests for its signal behaviour and latency
+  against measured targets.
+- **Realtime safety.** Every audio effect has a test that fails if the audio
+  thread allocates memory.
+- **Host tests.** Each wrapper is loaded through the exported CLAP ABI, without
+  a DAW. The tests check the ports, the reported latency, state save and load,
+  and processing at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz.
+- **Lints.** `rustfmt` and `clippy -D warnings` for every package and wrapper.
+- **Editor previews.** All editors are rendered headless and kept as CI
+  artifacts.
+- **Windows builds.** Every `.clap` is cross-compiled and packaged.
+
+Release ZIPs are deterministic and contain checksums for every file. Things CI
+cannot check stay manual: FL Studio routing, native window behaviour, and
+listening.

+- `plugin` is the CLAP wrapper on a pinned NIH-plug revision.

+## Releases
+
+Each plugin is versioned and released on its own. Its version is the `version`
+in `plugins/<plugin>/plugin/Cargo.toml`. A tag `<plugin>-v<version>`, for example
+`temper-v0.1.0`, starts the release workflow. The workflow builds, checks and
+publishes that plugin's Windows ZIP to a Gitea release. See

+# Anvil
+
+Anvil gives every bass note the same solid sub. Current version **0.2.0**.
+
+In riddim and dubstep, each switch-up patch brings its own sub: a different level,
+a different phase, sometimes two layers that cancel. The drop's weight jumps from
+note to note and the kick lands differently on each one. Anvil removes the
+original band below **Split** and puts a clean mono sine in its place. The sine
+follows the bass pitch, has the same peak level on every note, and starts at the
+same phase on every note.
+
+![Anvil](assets/editor.png)
+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Anvil.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio 2024.1
+or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find installed
+plugins. Load Anvil in the mixer slot of the bass bus. Keep the font license with
+redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Put Anvil on the bass bus, after the sound design and before the bus
+   compression or clipping.
+2. Set **Split** just above the sub. 80–100 Hz suits most riddim basses.
+3. Set **Sub level** once. Every patch on the bus now gets this level.
+4. Use **Phase** to line the start of each note up with your kick. With
+   **Retrigger** on, every note starts at this phase.
+5. Turn on **Solo sub** to hear only the new sub; the scope shows the original
+   low band (grey) against the new sub (accent).
+
+Other controls:
+
+- **Dynamics** at 0 % holds the level for the whole note. Raise it to let the sub
+  follow the original's volume shape, for example a wobble.
+- **Drive** adds upper harmonics so the sub reads on phones and laptops.
+- **Octave** moves the sub against the detected note. Use −1 for a bass played
+  one octave up.
+- **Glide** slides between overlapping notes; 0 jumps.
+- **Gate** is the input level that counts as a note. Raise it if tails or reverb
+  start new notes.
+- **Keep** blends some of the original low band back under the new sub.
+- **Snap to semitone** rounds detected pitch. Turn it off for pitch bends and slides.
+
+If Knurl is on the bass before the bus, use **MIDI**: Knurl's patterns make
+detection read notes from C2 upwards an octave low. See
+[Signal chain](../chain.md).
+
+### Pitch from MIDI
+
+Detection follows the audio by default. For heavy formant or FM basses where the
+fundamental is unclear, select **MIDI** and route the bass's MIDI notes to Anvil.
+In FL Studio, set the bass channel's MIDI output port and Anvil's input port to the
+same number, or duplicate the notes into a pattern on a channel that feeds Anvil.
+
+## Timing and limits
+
+Detection uses 80 ms of lookahead, reported to the host for delay compensation,
+so each note's pitch is known before its attack leaves the plugin. Pitch range is
+25–250 Hz, one voice: chords and layered notes in the sub band are not separated.
+Notes shorter than about 15 ms may not be recognised. A pitch move of more than
+0.7 semitone that holds for two analysis hops (10 ms) starts a new note.
+
+The crossover is a 4th-order Linkwitz–Riley pair, so with Keep at 100 % and no
+note playing, the signal passes with flat magnitude. Stereo above the split is
+kept; the new sub is mono.

+# Signal chain
+
+The order of the Bass Foundry plugins in a chain matters. Anvil, Lathe, Temper,
+Knurl and Planish each detect the pitch from the audio they receive. If a plugin earlier
+in the chain changes the audio, the pitch detection after it can go wrong.
+
+## Recommended order
+
+```text
+bass track:   synth → Lathe → Temper → Planish → Knurl → Patina → Weld
+bass bus:     Anvil → (bus compression, clipping) → Crucible
+```
+
+- **Lathe and Temper before Knurl.** They hear the plain synth, where the pitch
+  is clear.
+- **Planish after the distortion, before Knurl.** OTT usually comes after
+  distortion. Planish's band edges follow the tracked note, so it also needs a
+  clear pitch: after Knurl, use MIDI.
+- **Knurl last among the tracked plugins.** See below.
+- **Patina after the tracked plugins.** It does not detect pitch, so the order
+  does not change its result.
+- **Weld after every plugin with latency on its track.** Weld can delay its own
+  layer but cannot move it earlier. If FL Studio does not compensate the
+  sidechain route, any latency added after Weld's input on the main layer makes
+  that layer late.
+- **Anvil on the bus, in MIDI mode when Knurl is in the chain.**
+- **Crucible at the end of the chain you want to resample.**
+
+## Knurl and pitch detection
+
+Knurl's patterns make every second (or third) cycle quieter. That is a real
+sub-octave in the signal, so a pitch detector after Knurl hears the note one
+octave low, or with Triple an octave and a fifth low. Measured with the suite's
+tracker on a saw bass:
+
+- From C2 (65 Hz) upwards, Double, Fry (the default), Triple and Gallop make
+  the detector read the wrong octave for about 85 % of the note.
+- Below C2 the false sub-octave is under 30 Hz, out of the detection range, so
+  low notes are tracked correctly.
+- Level and time jitter add 5–25 false note starts per second. Anvil restarts
+  its phase on each, Lathe, Temper and Planish retune on each.
+
+When a tracked plugin must come after Knurl, select **MIDI** as its pitch source
+and route the bass's MIDI notes to it.
+
+## Latency
+
+Each tracked plugin adds its own lookahead: Anvil 80 ms, Lathe, Temper and
+Planish about 67 ms, Knurl about 71 ms, Patina about 45 ms. A full chain is
+about 400 ms. FL
+Studio compensates this for playback and rendering, but playing a MIDI keyboard
+through the full chain is not practical. Write with a shorter chain and add the
+rest for the mix.

+# Crucible
+
+Crucible melts the bars you just played into ready-to-use samples. Current version
+**0.3.0**.
+
+Resampling is the core loop of riddim sound design: bounce, open in Edison, chop,
+trim, declick, normalise, find the key, name, save, load into a sampler. Crucible
+does all of it from one button. It always records its input, so the take you
+liked is already there when you press **Capture**.
+
+![Crucible](assets/editor.png)
+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Crucible.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio
+2024.1 or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find
+installed plugins. Load Crucible in a mixer slot at the end of the chain you want
+to resample. Keep the font license with redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Play the pattern or song section.
+2. Choose **Bars** (1–16) and press **Capture**. Crucible takes the newest complete
+   bars on FL's bar grid. With the transport stopped, it takes the newest audio at
+   the last known tempo instead.
+3. Choose how to slice: **Grid** (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/8T, 1/16T) or **Transients**
+   with a Sensitivity. Double-click the waveform to add a cut, right-click to remove
+   the nearest one.
+4. Click a slice to hear it. Untick **Export** to leave it out.
+5. Press **Export**.
+
+Each export creates a folder named after the date, time and tempo, holding:
+
+- `loop.wav`: the whole take, for Slicex or Edison;
+- `s01_F1.wav`, `s02_G#1.wav`, …: one file per slice, named by its detected root
+  note. The root is also stored in the file's sampler chunk;
+- `wavetable.wav` when **Wavetable** is on: up to 256 single-cycle frames of 2048
+  samples from the selected slice. Each frame starts on a rising zero crossing, so
+  frames morph without phase jumps. Serum reads the frame size from the file; in
+  Vital, import it as a wavetable with 2048-sample frames.
+
+Every slice is cleaned on export: **Trim silence** removes leading silence below
+−60 dBFS, **Declick** fades both ends (default 2 ms), **Normalize** peaks it at
+−0.3 dBFS. Files are 32-bit float WAV at the session rate.
+
+Add the export folder to FL's browser once (Options → File settings → Browser extra
+search folders). New exports then appear there and can be dragged into channels,
+the playlist or Edison. **Open folder** shows the latest export in Explorer.
+
+## Timing and limits
+
+Crucible adds no latency and passes audio through untouched. Auditioned slices are
+mixed into its output only while they play. The history holds 72 s, enough for
+16 bars at 60 BPM. The newest eight takes stay in memory until the plugin is
+removed; they are not saved with the project. With **Keep takes** on (the
+default), every capture's loop is also written at once to
+`takes/<date>_<time>_<tempo>bpm_<bars>bars.wav` in the export folder, so a reload
+or a crash loses nothing. Existing files are never overwritten.
+
+Bar alignment follows the host's song position and time signature. Root notes are
+detected between 35 Hz and 1 kHz. Unpitched slices, such as drums or noise, get
+no note in their name. Transient slicing finds hits that rise out of quieter
+audio; for legato basses, slice on the grid.

 ## Product boundaries

-The catalog in [plugins/catalog.json](../plugins/catalog.json) defines product
-names, wrapper manifests, documentation, internal packages, and distribution
-licenses. Shared build/check/release tools consume it. Each wrapper's Cargo
-package version is the authoritative release version.
+[plugins/catalog.json](../plugins/catalog.json) is the single list of products.
+For each product it defines the display name, the wrapper manifest, the library
+name, the documentation folder, the CLAP ID, the internal packages and the
+licenses to ship. The build, check, package and release scripts and the script
+tests read it. The version in each wrapper's `Cargo.toml` is the release version.

-The root workspace contains Rivet's core, MIDI, application, and offline preview
-crates, plus Patina's core, editor, and renderer. Wrappers under
-`plugins/<product>/plugin/` remain independent workspaces because they depend on
-a pinned NIH-plug Git revision. Their host identities and persistence stay separate.
+Every product has the same split:
+
+| Folder | Content | Workspace |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `plugins/<product>/core/` | Engine. Plain Rust, no plugin SDK, tested on its own | root |
+| `plugins/<product>/ui/` | egui editor, built on `common-ui` | root |
+| `plugins/<product>/plugin/` | CLAP wrapper on a pinned NIH-plug revision | own |
+
+Rivet has more crates in the root workspace (`midi`, `app`, `preview`), and
+Patina has `render` for offline WAV evaluation. The shared crates are:
+
+- `common-ui`: palette, embedded fonts, header, panels, knobs, meters.
+- `common-dsp`: filters, YIN pitch tracking, the note tracker used by Anvil,
+  Lathe, Temper, Knurl and Planish, 4× oversampling, meters and WAV files.
+
+The wrappers stay separate workspaces, each with its own lockfile, so the
+NIH-plug Git dependency stays out of the root workspace. Host identities and
+saved state are separate for every product.
+
+The engines run allocation-free on the audio thread. Analysis that is too heavy
+for the audio thread (Rivet's generation jobs, Weld's cross-spectrum and fit) runs on a worker
+thread. Data goes to the editor through lock-free queues.

-once dependencies are cached; append `--offline` to manual Cargo commands.
+Products: `rivet`, `patina`, `anvil`, `crucible`, `lathe`, `temper`, `weld`,
+`knurl`, `planish`.

-Native wrapper tests on Linux require pkg-config, X11/XCB, and OpenGL development
-headers. Rivet's optional standalone also needs ALSA/JACK headers. Gitea installs
-the headers needed by its check jobs.

+and its wrapper, without compiling the other products. Run it for every product
+when you change a shared crate or the root workspace. Offline builds work once

+
+The test types are:
+
+- **Engine tests** (`core/tests/dsp.rs` and similar) measure signal behaviour
+  and latency against fixed targets.
+- **Realtime tests** (`core/tests/realtime.rs`) install a counting allocator
+  and fail if the audio-thread path allocates.
+- **Host tests** (`plugin/tests/host.rs`) load the wrapper through the exported
+  CLAP ABI without a DAW. They check the ports, latency, state save and load,
+  and processing at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz with odd block sizes.
+- **Script tests** (`scripts/tests/`) cover the catalog, release planning,
+  packaging and the publish client with fake transports. They also fail when a
+  catalog product is missing from a CI workflow.
+
+The native wrapper tests on Linux need pkg-config and the X11/XCB and OpenGL
+development headers. Rivet's optional standalone also needs ALSA/JACK headers.

+   heavy DSP.
+3. Add the product to `plugins/catalog.json` with a new, unique CLAP ID.
+4. Add it to `.gitea/workflows/check.yml` (check matrix, editor preview,
+   Windows build) and to the tag list in `release.yml`. The script tests fail

+# Plugin ideas
+
+A running list of plugin ideas for riddim, dubstep and bass-music sound design.
+Each entry names the problem first. Entries are grouped as released or idea. Names follow the metalwork theme of the Bass Foundry suite.
+
+## Problems seen in bass-music production
+
+1. Every bass patch brings its own sub level and phase, so the weight of a drop
+   jumps between switch-ups, and layered patches cancel in the sub.
+2. Patches at the same peak level still differ in perceived loudness and
+   brightness. The usual fix is hand-set gain or clipping per patch.
+3. Resampling is repetitive: bounce, chop, trim, declick, normalise, find the
+   root key, name, save, load into a sampler.
+4. Writing wobbles: LFO shapes are drawn, synced, copied and edited for every
+   variation. Triplet and dotted patterns plus per-note changes take long.
+5. Unison, OTT and stereo distortion widen the mids. Parts disappear in mono or
+   on club systems.
+6. Kick and bass clash. Sidechain helps, but the sub phase at each note start
+   changes how the kick hits.
+7. Distortion chains build up harsh resonances. (Patina covers this.)
+8. Comparing a drop with a reference: the difference is usually sub/mid balance
+   over time, which generic meters do not show clearly.
+9. Fixed-frequency tools act differently on every note. An EQ boost at 300 Hz
+   lifts the 4th harmonic of one note and the 7th of another; a distortion with
+   a fixed tone filter sounds brighter on low notes than on high notes.
+10. Layered bass patches partly cancel in the mids, not only in the sub.
+11. Texture makes a riddim patch: grit, rattle, metal, vowel, noise. It takes long
+    chains (distortion, comb, formant, OTT, resample, repeat), and the result
+    changes from note to note.
+12. Grit and tone cannot be shaped separately. More distortion for more grit
+    also changes the body, the level and the low end.
+13. Resampled textures sound printed: a loop of one moment, with no movement
+    inside the note.
+14. Texture changes inside a note (the switch-up within one held note) need
+    automation lanes or chopping.
+15. There is no meter for texture. Two switch-ups can sound "the same" without
+    a clear reason, and generic analysers show only level and spectrum.
+16. OTT and multiband compression use fixed band edges, so the same setting
+    squashes different harmonics on every note.
+17. Riddim masters rely on clipping. A clipper that also clips the sub turns
+    the low end into distortion.
+18. Resampled basslines have no MIDI, so tools that need the notes have nothing
+    to follow.

+## Signal flow and suite audit (2026-11)
+
+How the released plugins fit into one production:
+
+```text
+WRITE      Rivet (motif → storyboard) ──MIDI──► synth
+DESIGN     synth → Lathe → Temper → Knurl → Patina
+RESAMPLE   Crucible (capture → slice → export) ──► sampler / wavetable synth ──► DESIGN
+LAYER      layer A + layer B → Weld (mids) → bass bus → Anvil (sub)
+MIX        gap: loudness, clipping, OTT, mono check, kick against sub, reference
+```
+
+Writing and sound design are covered. Mixing and mastering have only Anvil and
+Patina. Findings from the audit:
+
+- **Latency adds up.** A full chain (Knurl 71 + Temper 67 + Lathe 67 + Patina
+  about 45 + Anvil 80 ms) is about 330 ms. FL Studio compensates it for
+  playback, but a chain this long cannot be played live.
+- **MIDI mode keeps the lookahead.** `Tracker::latency()` depends on the pitch
+  range only. With MIDI as the source, the note is known at its attack, so the
+  lookahead could be close to zero. This needs a latency change at runtime,
+  which must be checked in FL Studio first.
+- **Knurl confuses every tracker after it.** Measured: Knurl output fed into
+  `TrackerConfig::BASS`. From C2 (65 Hz) upwards, Double, Fry (the default),
+  Gallop and Triple make the next tracker read the note one octave (Triple:
+  an octave and a fifth) too low for about 85 % of the note. Below C2 the false
+  sub-octave is under 30 Hz, out of range, so low notes are safe. Level and time
+  jitter also cause 5–25 false note starts per second. Anvil on the bus after
+  Knurl then plays the sub an octave low and restarts its phase. Until there is
+  a shared tracker: put Knurl after the other tracked plugins, and use MIDI as
+  the source for any tracked plugin after Knurl. See [Signal chain](chain.md).
+- **Each tracked plugin needs its own MIDI route.** Four plugins in MIDI mode
+  are four FL routing setups.
+- **Weld and delay compensation are untested together.** If the main layer's
+  chain has more latency than the sidechain layer and FL does not compensate
+  the sidechain route, the main layer arrives late, which an allpass cannot
+  fix. Put Weld after every plugin with latency on that track.
+- **Crucible lost takes on reload.** Takes are not saved with the project.
+  Fixed: Keep takes writes every capture's loop to disk at once.
+- **Settings handling differs.** Patina has presets and A/B; the others do not.
+  Lathe's drawn gains and Knurl's drawn pattern cannot be automated.
+
+## Released
+
+### Anvil — sub anchor (problems 1, 6)
+
+Replaces the band below a split frequency with a clean mono sine that follows
+the bass pitch, at one level and one start phase for every note. Pitch comes
+from detection with 80 ms lookahead or from MIDI. See [Anvil](anvil/README.md).
+
+### Crucible — resampler (problem 3)
+
+Records the input continuously. One click captures the last bars on the host
+bar grid, slices on a grid or on hits, trims, declicks, normalises, detects the
+root key and exports labelled WAVs, a full loop and an optional Serum/Vital
+wavetable. See [Crucible](crucible/README.md).
+
+### Lathe — harmonic EQ (problem 9)
+
+EQ bands placed on harmonics 1–32 of the detected note instead of fixed
+frequencies. "+4 dB on harmonic 3, −6 dB on harmonic 7" sounds the same on F1
+and on C2. Odd/even balance, tilt over harmonic number, and a Focus control
+that lifts or cuts everything between the harmonics. Uses Anvil's pitch
+tracker, or MIDI. See [Lathe](lathe/README.md).
+
+### Temper — note-tracked distortion (problem 9)
+
+A waveshaper whose tone filters before and after the shaper follow the note, so
+every note distorts with the same character and the same harmonic content.
+Input level is normalised before the shaper, so drive does not depend on how
+loud the patch is, and the output is gain-matched. Oversampled to keep aliasing
+(which is never harmonic) out. See [Temper](temper/README.md).
+
+### Weld — layer phase alignment (problem 10)
+
+Takes a second bass layer through the sidechain. It fits polarity and a chain
+of up to four allpass sections to the measured cross-spectrum (no added
+delay), so the layers sum instead of cancel. A display shows how much level the
+cancellation cost and how much Weld recovered. Anvil solves the sub band; Weld
+solves the mids. See [Weld](weld/README.md).
+
+### Knurl — cycle texture (problems 11, 13)
+
+Follows the played note and treats every cycle on its own: a repeating level
+pattern (in-tune subharmonics), random level and timing per cycle, and a noise
+burst per cycle tuned to the note. Amounts are counted in cycles, so the texture
+is the same on every note. Slow per-harmonic drift is postponed. See
+[Knurl](knurl/README.md).
+
+### Planish — harmonic OTT (problem 16)
+
+Upward and downward compression in four bands whose edges are harmonic numbers
+of the tracked note (default 1, 2–4, 5–16, 17 and up), so the same setting
+squashes the same harmonics on every note. Each band's level is measured over
+one period of the note, so heavy settings do not ripple at f0. Built, not yet
+released. See [Planish](planish/README.md).
+
+## Next for released plugins
+
+- **Anvil**: *Kick lock*: the kick through the sidechain ducks the sub on each
+  hit and restarts its phase so kick and sub sum (problem 6). A sub shape from
+  sine to rounded triangle. A note attack counted in cycles.
+- **Lathe**: A/B gain snapshots with one automatable Morph parameter. A
+  keyswitch note that selects the drawn shape (EQ switch-ups without
+  automation). A dynamic mode per harmonic.
+- **Temper**: a harmonic split: harmonics 1–2 clean, 3 and up driven. More than
+  one Push band. A bias that changes per cycle from Knurl's cycle clock.
+- **Knurl**: velocity or note selects the pattern. Stereo grit above a split
+  only. Drift (planned for 0.3).
+- **Patina**: Tone guard (done, unreleased). MIDI as its pitch source. M/S
+  processing.
+- **Weld**: alignment slots per note or per switch-up. The External
+  sender/receiver fallback if FL's sidechain does not arrive.
+- **Crucible**: a switch-up slicer that cuts where the spectrum changes, for
+  legato basses. Optional retune of slices to one root. Reopening saved takes
+  from the `takes` folder in the take list.
+- **Rivet**: more than two sound roles, one per switch-up patch. Its MIDI
+  output as the one note source for the tracked plugins.
+- **Suite**: presets and A/B in `common-ui` for every plugin.
+
+## Ideas
+
+### Order
+
+1. Small fixes from the audit. Done: chain-order guide
+   ([Signal chain](chain.md)), Crucible Keep takes. Open: Weld test with delay
+   compensation (in FL), MIDI mode without lookahead (needs an FL check that a
+   latency change at runtime is accepted).
+2. Patina pitch-aware mode. Done as **Tone guard** (unreleased): bumps that
+   follow the note are protected, bumps fixed in Hz are cut. Measured first:
+   Patina already cut fixed formants on every note, but it also cut a boosted
+   harmonic as hard (5.7 dB), at a position that moved with the note.
+   Open: MIDI as the pitch source.
+3. Planish (done, unreleased), then Quench and Ballast: they fill the mix and
+   master gap.
+4. Forge, when enough modules exist.
+5. Assay, one plugin for the display-only ideas.
+6. Texture plugins (Anneal, Swarf, Etch, Bellows) and the note-keyed sequencer.
+
+Merges: Gauge, Loupe and Drop compare share one analysis core and one display,
+so they become one plugin, **Assay**. The wobble sequencer, Damascus and Chase
+are all "step grid, note selects the pattern", so they become one sequencer.
+
+### Forge — one tracked channel strip (problems 9, 11, latency)
+
+One tracker, one latency, and Lathe, Temper, Knurl and later Anneal as modules
+in an order you choose. It removes the stacked lookahead, the trackers that
+disagree (Knurl's sub-octave cannot confuse a tracker that reads the input
+before Knurl) and the repeated MIDI routing. The standalone plugins stay.
+Sharing one tracker between separate `.clap` files would need named shared
+memory across DLLs, which is fragile; one strip is simpler.
+
+### Quench — sub-safe clipper (problem 17)
+
+Quenching hardens hot metal in one fast step. Quench clips only above a split
+frequency and adds the clean sub back with its own headroom, so the master can
+be clipped hard without distorting the low end. Pairs with Anvil's split.
+
+### Scribe — audio to MIDI (problem 18)
+
+A scribe marks lines on metal. Scribe runs the note tracker on a bass and
+outputs MIDI notes and a `.mid` file. A resample from Crucible then gets its
+notes back, so the other plugins can use MIDI as their source.
+
+### Bevel — mono-safe harmonic widener (problem 5)
+
+Pans harmonics of the note alternately (for example odd left, even right) with
+complementary filters, so the mono sum stays flat. Pairs with Assay.
+
+### Peen — note-start transient shaper
+
+Peening hardens a surface with hammer blows. Attack and sustain shaping on
+every note start, with times counted in cycles, so each switch-up gets the same
+punch on every note. Could become part of Ballast.
+
+### Ballast — switch-up loudness leveller (problem 2)
+
+Measures short-term perceived loudness per note or per switch-up against a
+target or a reference patch and adjusts gain only, so each switch-up lands at
+the same loudness without compression changing its character. Earlier working
+name: Hit Leveler. Pairs with Anvil: Anvil levels the sub, Ballast the whole
+patch.
+
+### Bellows — pitch-tracked resonator
+
+A comb or Karplus-style resonator tuned to the detected note. It turns noise,
+distortion or drums into pitched metallic tone that is in key on every note.
+Damping, harmonic spread, single or multiple combs.
+
+### Gauge — low-end mono check (problem 5)
+
+Shows phase correlation and mono-sum loss per band and per note in the bass
+range, and marks the notes where widening breaks the mono sum. Optional fixes:
+mono below a chosen frequency and phase rotation on the mids. Display-first, so
+it is a small build. Earlier working name: Bass Mono Check.
+
+### Wobble sequencer (problem 4)
+
+Step patterns for volume, filter, formant and pitch with triplet and dotted
+grids built in. Each MIDI note selects a different pattern, so a switch-up is a
+different note in the piano roll. ShaperBox overlaps, but it has no note-keyed
+patterns. No name yet.
+
+### Drop compare (problem 8)
+
+Loudness-matched A/B of a drop against a reference, with sub, low-mid, mid and
+high energy over time: for example "your sub is 3 dB under the reference in
+bars 2–4". No name yet.
+
+## Texture ideas
+
+These ideas target problems 11–15; Knurl, the first of them, is released above.
+Most of them reuse the note tracker in
+`common-dsp`, so a texture setting means the same thing on every note, the same
+way Lathe and Temper work.
+
+### Anneal — tone and grit split (problem 12)
+
+Annealing changes how a metal behaves without changing its shape. Anneal
+splits the signal into three parts: the harmonic part (energy on the harmonics
+of the tracked note), the residual noise and grit between the harmonics, and
+the transients. Each part has a level fader, a drive and a tilt.
+
+- Turn the grit up 6 dB and keep the body and the sub unchanged.
+- Take all the grit out of a layer and leave a clean tone for further design.
+- Listen to each part solo, or send the grit to a second output for its own
+  chain.
+
+DSP: an STFT with the note tracker; harmonic masks at k·f0, with a width that
+follows the pitch; a transient mask from spectral flux. Latency is one FFT
+frame. The display shows the three parts in different colours on Lathe's
+harmonic strip.
+
+### Swarf — in-key granular shavings (problems 11, 13)
+
+Swarf is the shavings that machining leaves. Swarf records the bass itself and
+sprays short grains of it back as a layer. Grain lengths are whole pitch
+periods, and every grain is retuned to the note playing now, so the shredded
+layer stays in key across a riddim line. Controls are density, spray (position
+spread back in time), grain size in cycles, reverse probability, and a
+harmonic-only filter for the layer. It is useful for the "shredded metal" top
+layer, and works on a resample from Crucible as well.
+
+### Etch — texture imprint (problem 11)
+
+Etching transfers a pattern onto metal with acid. Etch takes a texture source
+through the sidechain or from a loaded sample (a metal scrape, a vocal, a field
+recording) and imprints its fine structure on the bass. The bass keeps its
+pitch and its harmonic levels; between and on the harmonics, the source's
+noise, roughness and movement come through. A "harmonic lock" mode samples the
+source's spectral envelope only at the bass harmonics, so the imprint is always
+in key. It differs from a vocoder: a vocoder transfers the envelope, and Etch
+transfers the surface.
+
+### Chase — talking formants that hit harmonics (problems 11, 14)
+
+Chasing shapes metal by hammering it from the front. Chase is a formant filter
+with a 2D vowel pad (a, e, i, o, u, plus "yoi" and "wub" shapes). You draw a
+path over the pad and sync it to the tempo, or let each MIDI note select a path.
+The formants stay in Hz, so a vowel stays a vowel on every note. A **snap**
+control moves each resonant peak onto the nearest harmonic of the tracked
+note, so a narrow formant never falls into the gap between two harmonics and
+vanishes on some notes. Gain-matched, so a vowel change does not change the
+level.
+
+### Damascus — texture step sequencer (problem 14)
+
+Damascus steel is folded from layers into a visible pattern. Damascus holds up
+to four texture slots (for example a formant, a comb, a sample-rate reducer and
+a Knurl-type rattle) and a tempo-synced step grid that chooses a slot, or a mix
+of two, per step. Steps have their own crossfade time, so changes can be hard
+cuts or smears. Each slot is gain-matched, so the steps change texture and not
+level. Each MIDI note can select its own pattern, which is a texture switch-up
+inside one held note. This overlaps with the wobble sequencer above; both could
+become one plugin.
+
+### Loupe — texture meter (problem 15)
+
+A loupe is the lens used to inspect engraving. Loupe measures texture per note
+over time:
+
+- roughness and fluctuation strength (psychoacoustic models);
+- harmonic-to-noise ratio, which shows how gritty a sound is;
+- inharmonicity, which shows how metallic a sound is;
+- brightness relative to the note (harmonic centroid, not centroid in Hz).
+
+It places every switch-up of a drop as a point on a texture map. Two patches
+that sit on the same point are why a drop sounds repetitive. A reference track
+can be loaded for comparison. Display only, so it is a small build, and it fits
+with Gauge and Drop compare.

+# Knurl
+
+Knurl gives every cycle of the note its own level, timing and grit. Current
+version **0.2.0**.
+
+Knurling presses a ridged pattern into metal. Riddim and dubstep basses get their
+character the same way, from surface texture: rattle, growl, fry, grit. Usually
+that texture comes from long chains of distortion, comb filters, formants and
+resampling, and it changes from note to note. Knurl works on single cycles of the
+wave instead. It follows the played note and treats each cycle on its own, and
+every amount is counted in cycles, not in Hz or tempo. So the texture has the
+same grain on F1 and on C2.
+
+![Knurl](assets/editor.png)
+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Knurl.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio 2024.1
+or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find installed
+plugins. Load Knurl in a mixer slot of the bass. Keep the font license with
+redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Play the bass. The note readout shows what Knurl tracks; the scope overlays
+   the last eight cycles of the output, so the texture is visible cycle by cycle.
+2. Choose a **Pattern**. The pattern sets the level of each cycle and repeats:
+   - **Double** (0, −9 dB): every second cycle quieter. This makes a sub-octave
+     growl, exactly in tune, about 8 dB under the fundamental.
+   - **Triple** (0, −12, −12 dB): a growl an octave and a fifth down.
+   - **Fry** (0, −14, −5, −14 dB, the default): an uneven vocal-fry rattle.
+   - **Gallop** and **Stutter**: rhythmic patterns over six and eight cycles.
+   - **Off**: every cycle at full level.
+3. Draw your own pattern on the bars: drag a bar to set the level of that cycle,
+   double-click to reset it. **Steps** sets the length (1–16 cycles).
+4. Add surface:
+   - **Level** gives every cycle a random level (standard deviation in dB).
+   - **Time** moves every cycle a little in time (percent of a period): rattle
+     and scrape.
+   - **Grit** adds a short noise burst inside every cycle. **Tone** sets its
+     lowest frequency in harmonics of the note, **Position** where in the cycle
+     it sits, and **Length** how long it is. The squares under the pattern bars
+     switch the burst per step.
+5. **Edge** sets how soft each step change is. Low values are sharper and
+   buzzier; high values smoother.
+
+**Random**: **Same every note** (default) restarts every random sequence at each
+note, so identical notes sound identical, which keeps a riddim line tight.
+**Free** lets the sequences run on, so every note differs.
+
+**Mix** blends with the delayed dry signal; **Output** trims the level.
+
+### Pitch from MIDI
+
+For basses whose fundamental is unclear (heavy FM, formant or noise patches),
+select **MIDI** and route the bass's MIDI notes to Knurl. In FL Studio, set the
+bass channel's MIDI output port and Knurl's input port to the same number.
+**Gate** sets the input level that counts as a note in AUDIO mode; **Snap to
+semitone** rounds the detected pitch (turn it off for slides).
+
+## Timing and limits
+
+Knurl delays the audio by about 71 ms: 67 ms of pitch-detection lookahead plus
+4 ms of room for the timing jitter. The delay is reported to the host for delay
+compensation, so the cycle clock knows every note before its attack leaves the
+plugin. The cycle clock restarts at every note start, so the pattern always
+begins with step 1 on the attack. Pitch range is 30–500 Hz, one note at a time.
+Between notes the effects fade out over 20 ms, so tails stay clean.
+
+Knurl works per cycle of the tracked pitch; it does not look for cycle borders in
+the waveform. With a stable pitch that is the same thing. With heavy pitch
+modulation inside a note the pattern follows the tracked pitch, which can lag a
+fast bend. Both channels get the same treatment, so the effect is mono-safe.
+
+Knurl's patterns put a real sub-octave into the signal. A pitch detector after
+Knurl (Anvil, Lathe or Temper in Audio mode) then reads notes from C2 upwards
+an octave too low. Put Knurl after the other tracked plugins, or use MIDI as
+their source. See [Signal chain](../chain.md).
+
+## How it works
+
+A note tracker (shared with Anvil, Lathe and Temper) detects pitch and note
+starts ahead of the delayed audio. A cycle clock starts at 0 on every note and
+advances by f0 / sample rate. Each cycle gets its step gain and its random level
+and time offset from a hash of the cycle number, so the result is deterministic.
+Step changes are raised-cosine crossfades over the last **Edge** of a cycle;
+level jitter crossfades over half a cycle and time jitter over the whole cycle,
+read from the delay line with cubic interpolation. The grit is white noise
+through a state-variable highpass at **Tone** × f0, shaped by a sin² window and
+scaled to the input level. There is no nonlinearity, so no oversampling is
+needed.

+# Lathe
+
+Lathe is an EQ whose bands sit on the harmonics of the note being played.
+Current version **0.2.0**.
+
+A normal EQ works in fixed frequencies. A cut at 130 Hz takes out the 3rd
+harmonic of an F1 bass, the 2nd of a C2, and the fundamental of a C3, so the
+same bass sounds different on every note of a riddim line. Lathe follows the
+pitch and places one band on each harmonic: "−12 dB on harmonic 3" stays on
+harmonic 3 whatever note plays.

+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Lathe.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio 2024.1
+or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find installed
+plugins. Load Lathe in a mixer slot of the bass, after the synth and before bus
+processing. Keep the font license with redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Play the bass. The note readout shows what Lathe tracks; the lower strip of the
+   editor shows each harmonic's level going in (grey) and coming out (pink).
+2. Draw gains on the harmonic bars. Drag across bars to paint a shape;
+   Shift-drag for fine steps; double-click a bar to reset it.
+3. Use the macros for the whole series:
+   - **Tilt** brightens or darkens in dB per octave of harmonic number. The
+     fundamental is the pivot.
+   - **Odd/Even** lifts odd harmonics and lowers even ones (positive, more
+     square-like) or the reverse (negative, more octave-like).
+   - **Between** sets the gain halfway between harmonics. Cut it to clean up noise,
+     beating and inharmonic grit; lift it for dirt.
+4. **Width** sets every band's bandwidth as a share of the harmonic spacing. Narrow
+   bands touch only the harmonic; wide bands also move its surroundings.
+
+Other controls:
+
+- **Harmonics** is how many harmonics are shaped (8–32). Higher harmonics pass
+  unchanged.
+- **Smooth** is the retune time for slides and pitch bends. A new note always
+  retunes at once, on its attack.
+- **Gate** is the input level that counts as a note. Raise it if tails or reverb
+  start new notes.
+- **Mix** blends with the delayed dry signal; **Output** trims the level.
+- **Snap to semitone** rounds the detected pitch. Turn it off for slides.
+- **Shapes** set the drawn gains: Flat, Odd only, Even only, or Hollow (harmonics
+  2–4 cut).
+
+The drawn gains are saved with the project but are not automation parameters;

+For basses whose fundamental is unclear (heavy FM, formant or noise patches),

+## Timing and limits
+

+### Tone guard for bass lines
+
+On a bass line, a bump can mean two things. A resonance fixed in Hz (a formant,
+a comb or filter ring) stays at the same frequency on every note: that is what

+on, or a Lathe boost) moves with every note: cutting it changes the patch

+
+**Tone guard** tells them apart. Patina detects the played note (30–500 Hz)
+and remembers, over about four seconds, how high each bump was in Hz and how
+high it was relative to the note. A bump that has stayed with the note more
+than in Hz gets less cut; at 100 % none. A resonance fixed in Hz is cut as
+before. It needs a few different notes before it can decide: on one held note

+# Planish
+
+Planish is upward and downward compression (OTT) in four bands whose edges are
+harmonic numbers of the played note. Current version **0.1.0**.
+
+Planishing hammers a metal surface smooth and even. OTT does the same to a bass:
+it pushes loud bands down and lifts quiet ones, and it is on almost every riddim
+patch. A normal OTT splits the bands at fixed frequencies, though. A split at
+88 Hz and 2.5 kHz puts harmonic 2 of F1 in the low band but harmonic 2 of C2 in
+the mid band, so the same setting squashes different harmonics on every note.
+Planish moves its band edges with the note: with the default split, band 1 is
+the fundamental, band 2 harmonics 2–4, band 3 harmonics 5–16 and band 4
+everything above, on F1 as on G2.
+
+![Planish](assets/editor.png)
+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Planish.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio
+2024.1 or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find
+installed plugins. Load Planish in a mixer slot of the bass. Keep the font
+license with redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Play the bass. The note readout shows what Planish tracks. The ruler at the
+   top shows harmonics 1–64 and the four bands; the columns below show each
+   band's level (steel) and gain (pink for a cut, blue for a lift).
+2. Choose a split, or drag an edge on the ruler:
+   - **Classic** (1, 2–4, 5–16, 17+, the default): fundamental on its own.
+   - **Sub + body** (1–2, 3–6, 7–24, 25+): the octave stays with the sub.
+   - **Tight** (1, 2, 3–8, 9+): close control of the first harmonics.
+   - **Wide top** (1, 2–3, 4–32, 33+): one big mid band, the top is fizz only.
+3. Set the amount:
+   - **Depth** blends each band with its compressed copy. 0 % is a clean sum
+     of the bands; the default is 50 %.
+   - **Drive** moves the band levels against the thresholds: more drive, more
+     squash. It does not change the level by itself.
+   - **Upward** and **Downward** scale the two directions. Downward pushes a
+     band above −30 dB down at about 20:1; Upward lifts a band below −42 dB at
+     about 4:1, by at most 24 dB.
+   - **Time** scales every attack and release. Lower bands are slower: at
+     100 %, attack is 30, 15, 8 and 4 ms and release 200, 160, 120 and 90 ms
+     from band 1 to band 4.
+4. **Band 1–4** set each band's gain after its compressor. Like the
+   compression, they are scaled by Depth.
+
+**Output** trims the level. **Bypass** crossfades to the delayed dry signal.
+
+### Pitch from MIDI
+
+For basses whose fundamental is unclear (heavy FM, formant or noise patches),
+and when Planish comes after Knurl, select **MIDI** and route the bass's MIDI
+notes to Planish. In FL Studio, set the bass channel's MIDI output port and
+Planish's input port to the same number. **Gate** sets the input level that
+counts as a note in AUDIO mode. **Snap to semitone** rounds the detected pitch;
+it is off by default, because the level is measured over one period of the
+pitch in use, and a detuned patch fits its real period better.
+
+## Measured
+
+- At Depth 0 the bands sum flat: sines from 35 Hz to 12 kHz come out within
+  0.05 dB.
+- The same setting changes the same harmonics on every note. At Depth 100 %
+  on a saw bass, harmonic 1 is cut by 13.6 dB on F1, C2 and G2; harmonics 1–12
+  differ by less than 0.2 dB between the three notes.
+- No ripple at the fundamental. A 40 Hz sine at Drive +12 dB and Time 10 % gets
+  no harmonics above −110 dB.
+
+## Timing and limits
+
+Planish delays the audio by about 67 ms of pitch-detection lookahead and
+reports it to the host for delay compensation, so the edges are on the new note
+when its attack leaves the plugin. Pitch range is 30–500 Hz, one note at a time.
+Before the first note the edges sit on 55 Hz; between notes they hold the last
+note.
+
+An edge is a slope, not a wall. The crossovers are 24 dB per octave, so the
+harmonics next to an edge partly reach the next band, by the same amount on
+every note. Both channels get the same gain per band, so the stereo image does
+not move. Quiet signals below about −84 dB are not lifted, so noise floors and
+tails stay down.
+
+Planish detects the pitch like Lathe and Temper. Put it before Knurl, or use
+MIDI: see [Signal chain](../chain.md).
+
+## How it works
+
+A note tracker (shared with Anvil, Lathe, Temper and Knurl) detects pitch and
+note starts ahead of the delayed audio. Three Linkwitz–Riley crossovers split
+the signal at √(k(k+1)) × f0, halfway in log frequency between harmonic k and
+k+1, and allpasses keep the lower bands in phase with the upper ones, so the
+bands sum to an allpass. The crossovers retune every 16 samples and glide with
+**Smooth** on bends. Each band's level is the RMS over exactly one period of
+the note, so a steady note gives a steady level and the gain does not wobble
+at f0. The level goes through attack and release smoothing, then a static
+curve with an upward and a downward threshold sets the gain.

+# Temper
+
+Temper is a distortion that drives every note the same. Current version **0.2.0**.
+
+A distortion with a fixed tone filter acts differently on each note: a lowpass
+at 2 kHz lets through 45 harmonics of an F1 but only 22 of an F2, and
+a patch that is 6 dB quieter is driven 6 dB less. Across a riddim line that makes
+some notes fizzy and others dull. Temper evens out each note's level before the
+shaper and moves its tone filters with the pitch, so the character stays the same
+on every note.

+with redistributed packages.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Choose a **Curve**:
+   - **Soft**: tanh, smooth and rounded.
+   - **Hard**: clipping with a narrow knee, dense and square-like.
+   - **Fold**: the wave folds back on itself; Drive moves the upper harmonics.
+   - **Tube**: the negative half clips earlier, adding even harmonics.
+2. Set **Drive**. The transfer plot shows the curve over the range a normalised
+   note covers; the **Into shaper** meter shows how far past the knee it goes.
+3. Add **Bias** for asymmetry and even harmonics.
+4. Shape the tone around the shaper, all in multiples of the note:
+   - **Floor** is a highpass before the shaper (0.25–2 × the fundamental; 0 is
+     off). It keeps sub mud out of the distortion. Put Anvil after Temper to add a
+     clean sub back.
+   - **Push** boosts or cuts one harmonic (**Push at**, 1–16) before the shaper,
+     so the distortion bites in the same place on every note.
+   - **Bright** is a lowpass after the shaper at a harmonic number (4–64; 0 is
+     off), so the top end stops at the same harmonic on every note.
+
+Other controls:
+
+- **Normalize** is how far each note's level is evened out before Drive. At 100 %
+  a quiet and a loud patch distort the same; at 0 % Temper acts like a normal
+  distortion.
+- **Auto gain** keeps the output at the input's loudness, so turning up Drive
+  changes the character, not the level.
+- **Gate** is the input level that counts as a note.
+- **Mix** blends with the delayed dry signal; **Output** trims the level.

+# Weld
+
+Weld fuses two bass layers so they add up instead of cancelling. Current version
+**0.2.0**.
+
+Bass patches are layered: a sub, one or more mid growls, a top. Where the layers
+overlap in the mids, they partly cancel. The causes are a polarity difference, a
+small time offset between the layers, and the phase shift of the filters and EQs
+in one chain. The result is a thin, hollow sum that changes with every
+switch-up. Anvil fixes this for the sub band; Weld fixes it for the mids.
+
+Weld sits on one layer and hears the other one through the sidechain input. It
+measures how the two layers line up, then turns the phase of its own layer with
+a polarity flip and up to four allpass filters. An allpass changes only phase,
+so the layer on its own sounds the same; only the sum changes. Weld adds no
+latency.
+
+![Weld](assets/editor.png)
+
+## Install on Windows
+
+Copy `Weld.clap` into `C:\Program Files\Common Files\CLAP\`. In FL Studio 2024.1
+or newer, open Options → Manage plugins, enable Verify plugins, and Find installed
+plugins. Keep the font license with redistributed packages.
+
+## Set up in FL Studio
+
+1. Put each layer on its own mixer track. Load Weld on the track of one layer,
+   the main layer.
+2. Select the other layer's track. Right-click the route arrow under the main
+   layer's track and choose **Sidechain to this track**. The other layer still
+   goes to the master on its own; the sidechain only lets Weld hear it.
+3. In Weld's plugin wrapper, open the settings (gear icon) and set Weld's
+   sidechain input to that track.
+4. Play both layers. The SIDECHAIN meter must move. If the display says "No
+   sidechain signal", check step 3.
+
+## Work with it
+
+1. Leave **Mode** on **FOLLOW** and play the part where both layers sound. After
+   a second or two, Weld shows its alignment: polarity, and the allpass sections
+   with their frequency and Q.
+2. Read the display:
+   - **Recovered** is how much level the sum gains, as an average per band
+     between Low and High. **Cancellation cost** is how much a perfect alignment
+     would gain. When the two numbers are close, Weld got nearly everything.
+   - The upper plot shows each band against a perfectly aligned sum (0 dB). Red
+     is what the unprocessed sum loses to cancellation; pink is the part Weld
+     wins back. The white line is the level with Weld.
+   - The lower plot shows the phase of this layer against the other one, before
+     (grey) and after (pink), and Weld's own phase curve (blue). After alignment
+     the pink line sits near 0°.
+3. Compare by ear: mute the other layer's own route to the master, set
+   **Listen** to **SUM**, then to **SUM DRY**. Set Listen back to **LAYER** and
+   unmute the route for the mix.
+4. When the alignment is right, switch to **HOLD**. It is saved with the project
+   and comes back when the project opens.
+
+For one drop or switch-up, use **LEARN**: press it, play the part, then press
+**HOLD** (or LEARN again). Weld measures the whole take with equal weight and
+applies the result when Learn ends.
+
+## Controls
+
+- **Mode**:
+  - **Follow** keeps measuring and refits only when a new alignment is clearly
+    better (at least 0.3 dB on average), so the filter does not wander.
+  - **Learn** starts a fresh measurement and applies its result when Learn ends.
+  - **Hold** keeps the current alignment. The display keeps measuring.
+- **Sections** (1–4) is the largest number of allpass sections the fit may use.
+  Weld uses fewer when fewer are enough.
+- **Response** (0.3–5 s) is the averaging time in Follow. Longer is steadier.
+- **Low** and **High** set the range the fit listens to. Low defaults to 60 Hz,
+  leaving the sub to Anvil. The allpass still acts below Low, and the display
+  shows that honestly.
+- **Gate** (−70 to −30 dB): moments where either layer is quieter are not
+  measured, so tails and silence do not pull the fit.
+- **Listen**: **Layer** outputs this layer, aligned, for the mix. **Sum** outputs
+  this layer aligned plus the sidechain layer. **Sum dry** outputs both
+  unprocessed.
+- **Output** trims the level; **Bypass** passes this layer unchanged.
+
+## Limits
+
+- **A late layer cannot be moved earlier.** An allpass only delays. If the layer
+  Weld sits on is the later one, the display shows "This layer is late" and the
+  offset in ms. Put Weld on the other layer instead.
+- **Free-running layers cannot be aligned.** Without oscillator retrigger, or
+  with detuned unison, the phase between the layers drifts all the time. Weld
+  marks those bands as *loose* (hatched) and does not fit them. Enable retrigger
+  in the synth if you want Weld to align the layers.
+- **Delays leave a comb.** A time offset between the layers cancels at regular
+  frequencies. A few allpass sections cannot follow a delay all the way up, so
+  Weld aligns the lower range and moves the higher notches rather than removing
+  them. For a large offset, move the layer in time first.
+- **One alignment for the whole patch.** Weld does not change the alignment per
+  note. If switch-ups need different alignments, use Follow, or automate Mode.
+- **The sidechain must arrive.** With no sidechain signal Weld changes nothing.
+
+## How it works
+
+Every 256 samples the audio thread hands mono copies of both layers to a worker
+thread through a lock-free queue. The worker estimates their cross-spectrum
+(Welch, Hann window, about 11.7 Hz per bin, 50 % overlap) and their coherence.
+It fits polarity plus up to four second-order allpass sections so that
+Σ w(f)·Re(S(f)·H(f)) is largest, with w = 1/f so every octave counts, ignoring
+bins where the layers are not coherent, and with a penalty for any band that
+would lose more than 1 dB. A new fit fades in over 40 ms after its filters have
+settled for 40 ms, so there are no clicks. One fit takes about 15 ms on one
+core, twice per second in Follow.

+//! makes subharmonics), a random level and timing, and a noise burst tuned to the note.
+//! Every amount is counted in cycles, so the texture has the same grain on every note.
+//!
+//! The audio path is delayed by the tracker lookahead plus the timing-jitter headroom, so
+//! the clock already knows each note when its attack leaves the plugin. Allocation-free

nvrl	340ff13342	chore: release Crucible 0.3.0, Patina 0.4.0 and Planish 0.1.0 Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m22s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 1m55s Details Check and Windows preview / check (knurl) (push) Successful in 1m42s Details Check and Windows preview / check (lathe) (push) Successful in 1m41s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 2m43s Details Check and Windows preview / check (planish) (push) Successful in 2m20s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m42s Details Check and Windows preview / check (temper) (push) Successful in 1m39s Details Check and Windows preview / check (weld) (push) Successful in 2m40s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m37s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 2m34s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 9s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 7s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 3m8s Details - 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.	2026-11-06 12:58:53 +01:00
nvrl	c06d193b18	feat(planish): add Planish harmonic OTT Upward and downward compression in four bands whose edges are harmonic numbers of the tracked note (default 1, 2-4, 5-16, 17 and up), so the same setting squashes the same harmonics on every note. A fixed-band OTT puts harmonic 2 of F1 and of C2 in different bands. - Three Linkwitz-Riley splits at sqrt(k(k+1)) x f0 with allpass compensation; at Depth 0 the bands sum within 0.05 dB. - Band level is the RMS over one period of the note, so heavy settings do not ripple at f0: a 40 Hz sine at Drive +12 dB, Time 10 % gets no harmonics above -110 dB. - At Depth 100 % on a saw, harmonics 1-12 change by the same amount on F1, C2 and G2 (within 0.2 dB). - Depth, Drive (on the detector only), Upward, Downward, Time, a gain per band; edges Low 1-8, Mid 2-16, High 3-48 with four splits. - Pitch from audio with about 67 ms lookahead, or from MIDI. - Editor: harmonic ruler with draggable edges, level and gain per band. - Catalog, workflows, editor-check, docs, signal chain and site copy.	2026-11-06 12:51:49 +01:00
nvrl	22870127c8	feat(common-dsp): second-order SVF allpass SvfCoef::allpass has the phase of a Linkwitz-Riley split at the same frequency, so a crossover tree can keep its lower bands in phase with the upper ones. The test checks it against a real LR4 split sample by sample and for flat magnitude.	2026-11-06 12:51:49 +01:00
nvrl	53bc26d14d	feat(patina): Tone guard for bass lines Patina detects the played note (30-500 Hz) and remembers, over about 4 s, how high each spectral bump is at a fixed frequency and relative to the note. Bumps that follow the note (a boosted harmonic the patch is built on) get less cut; bumps fixed in Hz (formants, room modes) are cut as before. On a saw line F1-F2 with harmonic 6 boosted, the cut on that harmonic drops from 5.78 dB to 0.44 dB at 100 %, while a fixed formant at 1.5 kHz stays at 5.78 dB. One held note is cut as normal, since the two cases cannot be told apart. - New parameter tone-guard (0-100 %, default 0), appended at the end; 0 % is the old behaviour and old settings load unchanged. - New Bass line preset. - Editor: Tone guard control, NOTE readout and a strip over the spectrum where cuts are held back. - No added latency, no allocation on the audio thread; patina-core now depends on common-dsp.	2026-11-06 12:24:11 +01:00
nvrl	6d868a63c4	feat(crucible): keep every captured take With Keep takes on (default), each capture is written to <folder>/takes/ as a WAV named by time, tempo and length, so a take is not lost when the next capture replaces it. Files are never overwritten: a clash gets a numbered suffix. Saving runs off the UI thread and the status line shows the path or the error.	2026-11-06 12:24:10 +01:00
nvrl	839e46aec9	docs: signal chain guide and suite audit 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.	2026-11-06 12:24:10 +01:00
nvrl	444b9d93da	feat!: change CLAP IDs to io.narl.bass-foundry.<product>, release all plugins Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m11s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 1m43s Details Check and Windows preview / check (knurl) (push) Successful in 1m37s Details Check and Windows preview / check (lathe) (push) Successful in 1m39s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 2m25s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m50s Details Check and Windows preview / check (temper) (push) Successful in 1m45s Details Check and Windows preview / check (weld) (push) Successful in 3m9s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m50s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 2m46s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 9s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 8s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 2m10s Details The io.storyboard.* IDs were a leftover from Motif Storyboard and named old functions (motif, sub-anchor, layer-align) instead of the products. Every plugin now uses io.narl.bass-foundry.<product>, and IDs are frozen from here on, even across renames. Hosts see the new IDs as different plugins: delete the old .clap files, rescan, and add the plugins again in existing projects. Rivet session JSON and Patina parameter IDs are unchanged. - Rivet 0.5.0, Patina 0.3.0; Anvil, Crucible, Lathe, Temper, Weld and Knurl 0.2.0. - Docs, changelogs and the release table describe the change. - Website: upgrade note in the Install section.	2026-11-06 11:51:11 +01:00

Plugin names, versions, download links and editor previews come from the catalog, the wrapper manifests and docs/*/assets at build time. Served by unprivileged nginx in Docker behind Traefik on fl.narl.io, the same setup as proton.narl.io: no access logs, CSP 'self', no JavaScript, legal pages filled from the environment at start.	2026-11-06 11:30:12 +01:00
nvrl	5cc3770737	feat(knurl): add Knurl cycle texture Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m1s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 1m31s Details Check and Windows preview / check (knurl) (push) Successful in 2m4s Details Check and Windows preview / check (lathe) (push) Successful in 1m27s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 1m54s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m30s Details Check and Windows preview / check (temper) (push) Successful in 1m31s Details Check and Windows preview / check (weld) (push) Successful in 2m31s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m26s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 7s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 2m26s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 3m0s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 8s Details 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.	2026-11-06 08:49:11 +01:00

nvrl	9b3ddeaf56	feat(weld): phase alignment for layered bass, release 0.1.0 Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m0s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 1m29s Details Check and Windows preview / check (lathe) (push) Successful in 1m27s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 1m53s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m29s Details Check and Windows preview / check (temper) (push) Successful in 1m29s Details Check and Windows preview / check (weld) (push) Successful in 2m38s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m28s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 8s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 3m14s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 3m50s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 9s Details Weld hears the other bass layer through the sidechain and fits polarity plus up to four RBJ allpass sections to the measured cross-spectrum, so the layers sum instead of cancelling. No latency; the layer on its own keeps its sound. - Worker thread: Welch cross-spectrum and coherence, Nelder-Mead fit with 1/f weighting, a per-band loss penalty and model selection by share of the achievable gain; GCC-PHAT lag detection flags a late layer. - Audio thread: allocation-free chain with a 40 ms warm-up and 40 ms crossfade per new fit; mono blocks go to the worker through a lock-free queue. - Follow / Learn / Hold; the fit is persisted and restored without a crossfade. - Editor: per-band loss and recovery against a perfect alignment, phase before and after, recovered dB, time offset and status. - Tests for flat magnitude, crossfade, fit targets, Follow hysteresis, Learn, silence, realtime allocation and the persisted fit in the host.	2026-11-06 08:31:41 +01:00

CLAP IDs and saved state stay unchanged. Bring development.md and releases.md up to date with all seven products, the shared crates, the test types, the steps to add a product and the published releases. Add texture problems and seven texture plugin ideas to ideas.md.	2026-11-06 08:01:02 +01:00

List Weld as in development.	2026-11-06 07:53:35 +01:00
nvrl	e3286f9094	feat(weld): add sidechain test build Weld will phase-align a bass layer to another layer it hears through the sidechain. This first build only checks that FL Studio delivers the sidechain to a CLAP aux port: it passes the main layer through unchanged, meters the sidechain and offers Layer/Sum/Sum dry listening. No latency.	2026-11-06 07:53:20 +01:00
nvrl	b3ebe4d952	feat: add Lathe harmonic EQ and Temper tracked distortion Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m8s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 1m32s Details Check and Windows preview / check (lathe) (push) Successful in 2m13s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 2m5s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m34s Details Check and Windows preview / check (temper) (push) Successful in 2m12s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m19s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 2m13s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 8s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 6s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 2m57s Details Lathe places EQ bands on harmonics 1-32 of the played note, so a cut on harmonic 3 stays on harmonic 3 on every note. Temper normalises each note's level before an oversampled shaper and tunes its floor, push and bright filters to the note, so every note distorts the same. The note tracker moves from Anvil into common-dsp, together with a state-variable filter, 4x oversampler and harmonic meter. Anvil's behaviour and editor render are unchanged. docs/ideas.md collects all plugin ideas and their status.	2026-11-06 06:08:51 +01:00
nvrl	f36ff0780c	feat: add Anvil sub anchor and Crucible resampler Check and Windows preview / check (anvil) (push) Successful in 2m41s Details Check and Windows preview / check (crucible) (push) Successful in 2m7s Details Check and Windows preview / check (patina) (push) Successful in 2m5s Details Check and Windows preview / check (rivet) (push) Successful in 1m33s Details Check and Windows preview / previews (push) Successful in 1m10s Details Check and Windows preview / windows (push) Successful in 2m2s Details Independent plugin release / publish (push) Successful in 8s Details Independent plugin release / plan (push) Successful in 7s Details Independent plugin release / build (push) Successful in 3m3s Details Two new CLAP effects aimed at riddim and dubstep production, plus shared crates so all four plugins keep one look and reuse DSP. Anvil 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.sub-anchor): - Replaces the band below Split with a clean mono sine. Every note gets the same peak level and restarts at the same phase, so switch-ups keep their weight and kick hits line up. - Pitch and note starts come from the audio (YIN, 80 ms lookahead reported to the host) or from MIDI notes sent to the effect. - Dynamics, Drive, Octave, Glide, Phase, Gate and Keep; Solo sub monitor, note readout, level meters and a low-band oscilloscope. Crucible 0.1.0 (io.storyboard.resampler): - Records its input continuously in a lock-free ring with host transport markers. Capture takes the newest 1-16 complete bars on the bar grid, following tempo changes, or the newest audio when stopped. - Grid (straight and triplet) or transient slicing, manual cuts, slice audition without audio-thread allocation. - Export writes the loop, trimmed, declicked and normalised slices named and tagged with their root note, and an optional 2048-sample wavetable for Serum and Vital. Shared: - common-ui holds the palette, fonts, knobs and panels taken from Patina; Patina renders identically. Rotary knobs at their minimum no longer tessellate a zero-length arc into NaN vertices. - common-dsp holds biquads, a Linkwitz-Riley crossover, YIN, note helpers and a float WAV writer with sampler root and Serum frame chunks. - Catalog, CI matrix, release tags, editor previews and docs cover both plugins; a script test keeps the catalog and workflows in step.	2026-11-06 03:22:00 +01:00
