This update moves our Windows VST plugins into beta, overhauling the general workflow when you run imitone inside your DAW.  We worked the kinks out of imitone's "pop-out" window made several one-time breaking changes to the VST2 and VST3 in order to fix old bugs and make room for future growth.  As a result, you might need to make some adjustments to any projects that previously used alpha versions of the plugin.  As we move forward we'll be working on Mac versions of the plugin and native support for Apple Silicon.

Also check out the imitone manual, which has been updated with information about hotkeys and operation of the plugin.

App changes:

• Updated the manual with information about plugins & hotkeys.
• Added hotkey 'M' to toggle mute/listening.
• You may now relay MIDI from plugins to any MIDI output.
  • This is set up automatically when using imitone (but not studio).
• Switching MIDI channels no longer interrupts imitone's algorithms.

Windows VST changes:

• Combined the two VST plugin variations into one.
  • There are still VST2 and VST3 versions and 32/64 bit builds.
  • The new plugins always pass audio through.
  • The new plugins always output MIDI events and MIDI control changes.
• App-to-app MIDI can also be used while the GUI is running.
  
  • You may open the app before your DAW to have app-to-app MIDI ready.
    
  • Projects using the old app-to-app plugin may to be reconfigured.
    
• Re-assigned some parameters related to key & scale.
  
  • VST2 index for Pitch Bend Range and Scale subset were revised.
  • VST3 ID for Key Transpose was revised.
• Separated 32-bit and 64-bit plugins in the installer.

• Rare crash when outputting to uni-directional MIDI drivers on Windows / WINE.
• B wholetone scales are related to the key of C# rather than B in other scales.
