Introducing imitone beta version 12.  

This update integrates the app's designer interface into the VST and VST3 plugins, and introduces a more intuitive way to manage voices and devices in imitone studio using a tabbed interface similar to your desktop web browser.  Our plugin controls are a work in progress; don't hesitate to use the in-app feedback form to tell us about any bugs or workflow issues you encounter with the new plugin!

(In the near future, we may stop including a plugin with our $30 app.  If you purchased prior to that point, you'll receive a free upgrade to our app+plugin bundle with access to future updates.)

VST Plugin Changes:

• VST2 and VST3 plugins now have a full UI (provided by the imitone app).
  • imitone is docked with the DAW while the plugin is visible.
    (we are still working the kinks out of this fusion)
  • For now, several buttons (eg, mute) do nothing to the plugin. 
  • For now, the plugin is still limited to our classic technology. 
• We may break project file compatibility in a near-future plugin update.
• For now, the plugin is limited to one instance per DAW.

App Changes:

• Voices are presented as 'tabs', similar to pages in a web browser.
  • (note: Multiple voices are only available in imitone studio.)
  • Voices may be deleted or cloned to new MIDI channels using X and + buttons.
  • If the app is opened separately, the plugin will appear as a tab.
    • In this mode the setup tab can be used to jump to the DAW.
• Audio mode is now either "shared" or "exclusive", for both input & output.
  • A tooltip provides some explanation about the difference between modes.
  • ASIO drivers are listed under 'exclusive', regardless of multi-client features.
• imitone now supports duplex audio (ie, input & output) when using ASIO.
  • Note that ASIO only allows an app to use one driver at a time.
  • Windows exclusive audio may be used at the same time as ASIO however.
• Improved "tattle", our tool for update checks, feedback & error reports.
  • Queries & reports to imitone.com now use TLS encryption for enhanced privacy.
  • Improved the tool's design and data transparency via the "view contents" menu.
    
  • Update and error dialogs now include a "don't show again" checkbox.
    • This applies individually to each update version and error message.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue when changing a voice's MIDI channel.
• Fixed a crash when using one-way MIDI devices, especially under WINE.
• Various other fixes.

Known bugs:

• The mute function does not take effect when closing and reopening the app.
• The plugin GUI may behave oddly with certain DAWs such as FL Studio.
• Volume auto-adjust doesn't currently work when using the plugin.
