imitone 0.12.1 — multiple plugins & workflow


This is another incremental update to imitone's plugins, removing some limitations and improving the general workflow.  imitone's plugin GUI can now 'pop out' of the DAW, providing a way to keep it visible when it would otherwise be hidden by the DAW.

Note that our next update may break compatibility with project files using our VST plugins.  As we work toward a long-term design for using imitone inside of DAWs, it has become clear that the current scheme of parameters and buses will need to change at some point.  We think it's best to make this break sooner rather than later.

App Changes:

  • Help & Info is now accessed from a tab in the titlebar.

VST Changes:

  • imitone can 'pop in' to and 'pop out' from a VST host.
    • pop in provides a traditional nested plugin interface.
    • pop out makes the imitone window behave as a separate app.
    • multiple plugins and voices may be managed in this mode.
    • the separate window can be pinned on top.
  • You may now use multiple instances of the VST.
    • All instances of the VST must be in the same DAW.
    • You may not use VST2 and VST3 at the same time.
  • Docking with plugin windows is generally improved.

Fixes:

  • Fixed some quirks with the titlebar on Windows.

Known issues:

  • imitone has compatibility issues with AirPods on Mac OS 11 and up.
    • (we advise against using imitone with any Bluetooth devices due to latency.)
  • The plugin window may act oddly when DAWs "shrink" plugins on high-DPI displays.
