What is new in HyperION

HyperION 1.1.4.0 expands the DAW beyond the large composition and workflow update introduced in 1.1.3.0. This release introduces Hyperion Harmony, a new integrated Openverse-powered sample workflow, major cross-platform foundations, downloadable Factory content, improved release packaging, and another round of Pattern, Control Room, popup, playback, and distribution refinements. The focus of 1.1.4.0 is simple: make HyperION more musical, more portable, easier to distribute, and more reliable during real production work. Highlights Added Hyperion Harmony, a new scale-aware chord and progression environment.

•Added a new anonymous Openverse Sample Browser with no account or API key required.

•Added local preview caching, BPM/key analysis, license metadata and project-safe sample importing.

•Expanded HyperION's platform architecture for macOS, Linux and Android.

•Added macOS x64, ARM64 and Universal 2 build foundations.

•Added Linux native application packaging and Steam runtime support.

•Added Android-specific application/build capabilities and mobile-safe feature separation.

•Reworked Factory Library delivery so large content can be downloaded separately instead of being forced into every application package.

•Improved Cloudflare manifest and Factory content delivery behavior.

•Expanded Windows x64 / ARM64 packaging and multi-architecture MSIX work.

•Continued major Pattern View, popup-menu, Control Room and playback stability work.

Hyperion Harmony

1.1.4.0 introduces a new native harmony environment built directly into HyperION.

Hyperion Harmony includes:

•Scale-aware chord generation.

•Diatonic chord palettes.

•Custom chord construction.

•Chord inversions.

•Progression generation.

•Instant chord audition.

•Full progression preview.

•Drag/reorder progression workflow.

•Arranger-oriented harmony styles.

•Automatic instrument selection for harmony playback.

•Direct Arrangement integration.

•MIDI rendering and MIDI export.

•Project key and scale integration.

Harmony generation is handled locally and is designed to work as a compositional tool rather than a disconnected chord utility.

New Openverse Sample Browser

The previous online sample workflow has been rebuilt around Openverse.

The new Sample Browser:

•Requires no account or API key.

•Performs anonymous online searches.

•Supports openly licensed audio sources.

•Provides Commercial Safe, CC0, Public Domain and CC BY filtering.

•Supports category, type, duration and audio-format filtering.

•Adds debounced search and pagination.

•Provides native audio preview inside HyperION.

•Maintains local search and preview caches.

•Performs BPM analysis.

•Performs musical key and scale analysis.

•Displays source and license information.

•Saves attribution and source metadata during project import.

•Copies imported media into project-managed storage.

•Can create a new audio track directly from a selected online sample.

Openverse results originating from the old Freesound path are deliberately excluded from this new anonymous workflow.

Factory Library & Download Delivery

Factory content distribution has been redesigned.

Large Factory content can now be separated from the core application package and delivered through the HyperION content manifest.

This reduces unnecessary platform package size and makes the same content system usable across Windows, macOS and Linux.

Additional work includes:

•Welcome Screen Factory Library download workflow.

•Cloudflare-hosted content manifest support.

•Cross-platform Factory content paths.

•Platform-independent/common content packages.

•Download resume support.

•Temporary staging before replacing installed content.

•SHA-256 validation support.

•Better HTTP and manifest error reporting.

•Fallback handling for content endpoints.

•Factory content packaging can now be enabled or disabled per distribution target.

Cross-Platform Architecture

A substantial part of 1.1.4.0 prepares HyperION to operate beyond its previous Windows-focused distribution.

macOS

Added infrastructure for:

•Native ARM64 builds.

•Native x86_64 builds.

•Universal 2 builds.

•macOS application bundles.

•macOS application icons and entitlements.

•Native Security framework integration.

•Steam runtime deployment on macOS.

•Architecture-aware runtime handling.

Linux

Added infrastructure for:

•Native Linux application builds.

•Linux desktop files.

•AppStream metadata.

•Linux application icons.

•Native GTK integration.

•WebKitGTK integration.

•libcurl support.

•Linux runtime library paths.

•Steam libsteam_ api.so deployment.

•x64 build workflow.

•ARM64 build workflow and architecture validation.

Android

Added Android build-mode detection and mobile application foundations.

Desktop-only plug-in hosting and companion tools are separated from Android builds, allowing the mobile target to use its own application identity and capabilities.

Android remains a platform-development track rather than a claim that every desktop feature is already available unchanged on mobile.

Windows & Packaging

The Windows release pipeline has also been expanded.

Current packaging work targets:

•Windows x64.

•Windows ARM64.

•Steam Windows x64.

•MSIX x64.

•MSIX ARM64.

•Combined x64 + ARM64 MSIXBundle.

•Architecture-aware release staging.

•SHA-256 release manifests.

Build tooling now performs stronger checks against stale executables and architecture mismatches.

Patched source timestamps, newly built executable timestamps and SHA-256 hashes can be compared so a successful build cannot silently stage an older Hyperion executable.

Steam Architecture Improvements

Steam handling has been made more platform-aware.

Steam runtime discovery now distinguishes Windows, macOS and Linux runtime libraries.

The release tooling can also inspect installed Steamworks SDK binaries before attempting native ARM64 Steam builds.

ARM64 Steam packages are only attempted when a matching native Steam API binary is actually available. HyperION does not reuse an x64 Steam API binary inside an ARM64 process.

Steam builds continue to bundle the required verified stem-separation model and disable unsupported post-install model-download behavior where required by the distribution configuration.

Pattern View & Popup Workflow

Pattern View received another interaction and stability pass.

Changes include:

•MIDI Output lanes no longer use normal left-click as an accidental context-menu trigger.

•MIDI Port and routing result handling were corrected.

•Context menus are anchored to their relevant UI regions instead of being spawned directly underneath the mouse pointer.

•Context-menu opening was moved away from the initial mouse-down path.

•Very large multi-level generator/style menus were removed from the Pattern workflow.

•Generator parameters stay inside their actual generator interfaces.

•MIDI routing selections use simpler sequential menus rather than deep hover-driven submenu trees.

•Popup callbacks use safer component lifetime handling.

•Popup-related Pattern repaint activity has been reduced.

•Windows popup polling was reduced to avoid unnecessary hover/focus churn.

These changes are intended to reduce popup flicker and prevent menus from interfering with unrelated Pattern controls.

Pattern Playback

Pattern playback received additional loop-boundary work.

A short continuity/de-click transition is applied at natural Pattern loop boundaries to reduce clicks or pops caused by sudden sample discontinuities.

The solution is designed to avoid resetting voices or changing musical timing at every loop.

Additional Pattern scheduling and voice regression coverage remains part of the release validation process.

Control Room

The Control Room signal and display path received additional cleanup.

Phones and Main controls remain monitor-gain controls, while their level meters are separated from knob position and driven from live audio-level data.

The Control Room meter path now supports:

•Live stereo audio level data.

•Fast attack behavior.

•Controlled meter release.

•Meter activity during preview and audio tails even when transport is stopped.

•Small-region meter repainting instead of unnecessary full-panel redraws.

This makes the Control Room display behave like an audio meter instead of a visual representation of the gain knob.

UI & Application Structure

1.1.4.0 continues the native JUCE interface work started in earlier releases.

Additional changes include:

•Application startup code split into clearer implementation units.

•Platform-capability awareness.

•Continued Welcome Screen refinement.

•Updated application icon resources.

•Additional semantic theme/runtime tests.

•Harmony and Sample Browser integration into the existing HyperION design system.

•Further popup and context-menu cleanup.

•Continued reduction of unnecessary repaint activity.

No project format or plug-in parameter migration is intended as part of these visual and platform changes.

Release & Runtime Safety

The build and packaging system now includes stronger safeguards around:

•Invalid Steam build configuration values.

•Distribution-channel separation.

•Architecture-specific Steam runtimes.

•Runtime asset packaging.

•Protected.hpak media.

•Removal of stale loose protected media.

•Factory content inclusion/exclusion.

•Linux runtime dependencies.

•Build artifact freshness.

•Executable SHA-256 verification.

•MSIX staging and MakeAppx diagnostics.

Testing

New or expanded test targets include coverage for:

•Hyperion Harmony.

•Pattern voice lifecycle.

•Openverse request and response handling.

•Openverse source filtering.

•Sample metadata normalization.

•Localization runtime behavior.

•Appearance/theme runtime behavior.

•Steam purchase/reconciliation infrastructure.

•Existing stock plug-in and audio-generation regression suites.

Upgrade from 1.1.3.0

Projects created with 1.1.3.0 remain part of the existing HyperION project workflow.

1.1.4.0 primarily adds new creative tools, distribution infrastructure and runtime refinements rather than intentionally changing the project format.

Users upgrading from 1.1.3.0 gain the new Harmony and Openverse workflows, new Factory-content delivery architecture, expanded platform foundations and the latest Pattern/Control Room stability improvements.

Platform Targets

HyperION 1.1.4.0 release infrastructure targets:

•Windows x64

•Windows ARM64

•Microsoft Store / MSIX x64

•Microsoft Store / MSIX ARM64

•x64 + ARM64 MSIXBundle

•Steam Windows x64

•macOS ARM64

•macOS x86_64

•macOS Universal 2

•Linux x64

•Linux ARM64

Steam ARM64 targets remain conditional on native Steamworks runtime availability for the target architecture.

Android development infrastructure is included as part of the ongoing mobile port.

Final Note

HyperION 1.1.4.0 continues the transition from a Windows-first DAW into a broader production platform while adding new tools directly useful during songwriting and sound discovery.

Harmony. Samples. More platforms. Better delivery. More stable production workflows.

HyperION DAW 1.1.4.0

HyperION 1.1.3.0 is a major composition, sound-library, workflow, and stability update built on the 1.1.2.0 release. It expands Demo Song into a more reliable full-project composer, introduces more musical genre-aware drum generation, adds an integrated Freesound browser, improves MPE and automation workflows, upgrades Chain Generator, and strengthens playback, packaging, localization, and update delivery. This release also completes a broad native JUCE UI refactor across the active DAW shell, editors, dialogs, menus, inspectors, and stock plug-ins. The refactor preserves project formats, DSP, audio/MIDI behavior, licensing, entitlement paths, plug-in parameters, presets, and automation while applying one restrained semantic design system throughout the application. Highlights Demo Song can now create complete multi-track arrangements with coordinated drums, bass, chords, melody, counter melody, arpeggios, pads, FX, and Vocal Guide parts.

•Generated Step Sequencer patterns are now visible in the correct Pattern slot and connected to audible playback.

•Added real genre-aware CC0 drum samples for Rap, Trap, Pop, Rock, Cinematic, Reggaeton, and related styles.

•Fixed Rap and Trap 808 accents so they use real clean or fat 808 samples instead of generic percussion.

•Added audible tom lanes and tom fills for styles that need them.

•Reworked Reggaeton around a clearer dembow pocket with dedicated conga and percussion sounds.

•Strengthened Arabesk generation with Hicaz-like and Nihavent-like tonalities, more characteristic melodic movement, ornamentation, strings, pizzicato, woodwinds, and percussion.

•Added true MPE member-channel allocation and preserved expression data across Pattern, Arrangement, and MIDI workflows.

•Rebuilt Chain Generator around role-aware professional processing and safer output staging.

•Expanded the recorded Instrument Suite to 4,173 presets across 36 categories and 9,631 sample zones.

•Added a Tools > Freesound Browser for searching, filtering, previewing, and adding online sounds without installing another application.

Freesound Browser

•Added a dedicated resizable Freesound Browser under the Tools menu and Command Palette.

•Users can create a free personal Freesound API key once and store it encrypted with Windows DPAPI; the key is never written to project metadata or plain-text settings.

•Added text search, BPM range filtering, musical key/mode filtering, license filtering, relevance/download/rating/newest sorting, and paginated results.

•Results show creator, license, duration, BPM, detected tonality, sample rate, channels, rating, download count, and tags.

•Added Play and Stop controls with background download, local preview caching, off-thread decode, and direct HyperION engine audition.

•Added + Add to copy the selected HQ MP3 preview into Media/Freesound, create a new audio track at the playhead, and save a.freesound.json attribution/provenance sidecar.

•Added quick access to the original Freesound sound page for license review and attribution.

•Freesound token authentication provides search and HQ preview access. Original-quality API downloads require Freesound OAuth2, so this release imports the official HQ MP3 preview and labels that behavior in the interface.

Demo Song Composer

•Fixed generation modes that could produce only three tracks or an empty project when playable roles were selected.

•MIDI Tracks, Pattern + MIDI, and Full Project modes now honor every selected musical role independently of the old Create MIDI Clips toggle.

•The Generate button now uses the mode selected in the dialog instead of always falling back to New Project.

•Demo Song now remembers preset, genre, BPM, key, scale, song length, section length, complexity, energy, output mode, generation mode, density, variation, fill amount, role toggles, Pattern/MIDI/audio choices, and loop settings.

•New Project generation resets the Pattern state safely and opens the generated drums in the visible Pattern slot.

•Added automatic loop-region creation based on the complete generated arrangement.

•Instrument, effect-chain, preset, and sample-map failures are now isolated so one unavailable component does not erase the rest of the generated song.

•Added role-aware instrument fallback selection when the preferred preset is unavailable.

•Sample-map readiness waits are shorter and non-fatal.

•Generated drum patterns create a real Arrangement clip and remain editable in the Step Sequencer.

•Opening a Pattern clip from Arrangement now selects that clip's actual pattern://N slot before opening the editor.

•Fixed generated Step Sequencer velocities using a 0..1 range where the engine expected 1..127, which made drums effectively inaudible.

•Generated Pattern buffers are explicitly connected to the audio engine after rendering.

Songwriting And Harmony

•Bass, chords, lead, arpeggios, pads, and section transitions now follow one shared song-wide chord progression.

•Chord progressions no longer restart independently at each section boundary.

•Bass notes follow the active chord root while retaining genre-specific rhythms and octave responses.

•Lead phrases resolve toward chord tones on strong beats and use controlled passing tones between them.

•Arpeggios are anchored to the active harmony.

•Section-end approach notes target the actual next chord.

•Different section lengths, including non-four-bar sections, remain aligned to the global harmonic timeline.

•Generation density and complexity now influence musical detail independently instead of making every energetic style excessively busy.

Genre-Aware Drums

•Added deterministic genre-aware kit selection: the same seed selects the same sample variants.

•Rap, Trap, Drill, club, and modern electronic styles use Libre Sample Pack kicks, snares, hats, claps, percussion, and 808s.

•Pop, Rock, and acoustic styles use more natural Klassic kick/snare choices with appropriate hats and percussion.

•Cinematic styles use VSCO-2-CE bass drum, orchestral snare, cymbal, tambourine, and percussion sources.

•Reggaeton now uses a dedicated dembow kick and backbeat structure instead of a generic Rap/Trap pattern.

•Added Reggaeton conga lanes backed by real VSCO Tumba samples.

•Rap and Trap 808 drum accents now load real Libre clean/fat 808 samples; they no longer fall through to a generic perc sound.

•Rock, Metal, Nu Metal, Trap Metal, and suitable cinematic fills can create Tom Low, Tom Mid, and Tom High lanes.

•Tom lanes now use a real tom source with pitch-separated mid and high variants.

•Missing drum samples use an explicit internal fallback voice instead of becoming silent metadata.

•Added per-bar hit budgets for kick, snare/clap, hats, percussion, and auxiliary voices.

•Reduced excessive ghost-note, fill, variation, and roll stacking.

•Drill and Trap retain fast-hat vocabulary with stricter repeat limits.

•R&B, Lo-Fi, Boom Bap, and acoustic styles use simpler pocket-oriented patterns.

•House and Techno retain four-on-the-floor behavior without closed/open hat collisions.

•Fill Amount now scales from no fill through short, medium, and controlled advanced fills.

Arabesk Improvements

•Arabesk defaults now start in a Hicaz-like 12-TET scale and a more appropriate mid-tempo pocket.

•Arabesk Pop defaults now use a Nihavent-like 12-TET scale.

•Arabesk Rap keeps the Hicaz-like identity while retaining a modern Rap rhythm section.

•Added a dedicated descending and resolving Arabesk melodic contour instead of reusing the generic pop/electronic contour bank.

•Increased controlled neighboring-note ornaments and short approach notes.

•Added a more characteristic kick, rim, percussion, and shaker pocket.

•Instrument selection now prioritizes emotional strings, legato string sections, pizzicato, flute/woodwind, and world-pluck colors over generic piano and synth choices.

Vocal Guide

•Reworked Vocal Guide into a more controlled monophonic reference melody.

•Uses a medium tessitura with fewer extreme jumps and lower note density.

•Replaced exaggerated scoop and vibrato behavior with neutral pressure expression.

•Vocal Guide now uses a neutral Melody Lead playback path rather than the ambiguous open-vowel effect sample.

•Added controlled phrase breathing and more singable contour limits.

Instrument Suite And Factory Library

•Expanded and audited the recorded Instrument Suite to 4,173 presets.

•Added 36 browsable categories and 9,631 resolved sample zones.

•Added deployed-manifest discovery for installed and packaged builds.

•Sample zones now resolve from protected mounted assets first, then development and manifest roots.

•Added protected.hpak deployment for factory media.

•Added Instrument Library self-test coverage for preset, category, zone, and missing-zone counts.

•Integrated Libre Sample Pack and VSCO-2-CE CC0 drum sources with rights and SHA-256 records.

Professional Chain Generator

•Vocal chains now begin with key-aware HyperAutoTone.

•Added distinct Lead Vocal, Background Vocal, and Rap Vocal processing profiles.

•Added Clean Modern, Warm Saturated, Colorful Bright, and Dark Intimate vocal tone directions.

•Vocal profiles use separate retune speed, correction, humanization, formant, drift, compression, high-pass, de-essing, and ambience behavior.

•Colorful Bright combines controlled air EQ, Vocal Sculptor presence, harmonic color, post-compression de-essing, and protected headroom.

•Warm Saturated uses fuller body, tape-style density, parallel saturation, and a protected ceiling.

•Dark Intimate reduces excess air while preserving body and subtle detail.

•Clean Modern avoids unnecessary saturation while keeping pitch correction, corrective EQ, compression, de-essing, and vocal finishing.

•Drum, bass, guitar, keys, synth, pad, strings, bus, and master chains now receive role- and genre-specific processing.

•Bass Architect uses expanded weight, subtone, punch, debooming, translation, AGC, safety, and output controls.

•Master chains end consistently with a -1 dB true-peak limiter.

•Saturation and color stages use parallel mix, output headroom, explicit ceilings, and safety processing.

MPE And Automation

•Overlapping expressive notes receive separate MPE member channels.

•MIDI channel 10 remains reserved for drums.

•Pitch wheel, pressure, CC74, and configured expression targets reset safely at note end.

•Advanced Generation can create note expression and track automation in Piano Roll, Step Generator, Demo Song Composer, Chain Generator, and Create Backing Track workflows.

•Pattern, Arrangement, and MIDI conversion paths preserve MPE and expression data.

•Standard generation remains lightweight and does not emit advanced expression unless requested.

AI Tools And Editions

•Stem Separation and Track to MIDI can use the shared AI/generator credit balance in Demo and Standard editions.

•Removed incorrect Ultimate-only locks from credit-backed audio-clip commands.

•Command Palette entries now open eligible credit-backed generators correctly.

•Ultimate and Tester editions retain unlimited creative AI/generator access.

•BPM and key analysis remain unlimited and do not consume credits.

•License-specific features such as HyperTune and RVC remain edition-gated where required.

Workflow And UI

•Added Ctrl/Command + right-click channel deletion in Mixer and Studio Deck.

•Master cannot be deleted through the shortcut.

•Channel deletion is handled before FX-slot and fader context actions.

•Pattern clips now open the correct Step Sequencer slot from Arrangement.

•Pattern rendering and project-clip synchronization are more deterministic after generated content changes.

•Improved dialog status, saved settings, role selection, and generation failure feedback.

•Unified active windows, dialogs, popup/context menus, toolbars, inspectors, Arrangement chrome, Mixer surfaces, Piano Roll, Pattern View, Master Matrix, Event FX, AI utilities, and stock plug-in editors around the shared HyperION semantic theme system.

•Reduced excessive selection washes, multi-colour key highlighting, decorative glow, and debug-like panel styling; selected lanes now use restrained identity rails and subtle focus states.

•Preserved the original digital transport counter font while improving bottom-bar hierarchy and high-DPI layout behavior.

•Production Deck Browser and the independent left Browser now coexist without hiding or reparenting one another.

•Fixed a startup-only missing-audio-track warning that could appear before the user requested an audio operation.

•Improved automation curve, point, inactive-lane, and selected-state rendering without changing automation data or hit testing.

•Hidden and static panels stop unnecessary refresh work, including Pattern Mixer meters, Production Deck cards, and stock plug-in analysis chrome.

Playback And Performance

•MIDI rendering rejects clips outside the active audio block before scanning their notes.

•Notes outside the active block are skipped before event generation.

•Added denormal protection to live Pattern processing.

•Pattern clip playback uses one authoritative route to avoid silent, doubled, or conflicting drum playback.

•Reduced unnecessary realtime work in projects with many clips, effects, and Pattern lanes.

•Improved stop, Pattern switching, note release, and live Pattern voice cleanup behavior.

Updates And Localization

•Added a non-blocking update badge with channel-aware behavior.

•Standard builds check architecture-specific Cloudflare update manifests.

•Steam and Steam Demo builds detect pending Steam updates and link to Steam Downloads.

•Microsoft Store builds use the Store package update API.

•Update checks run in the background without interrupting audio or UI processing.

•Updated all 31 shipped localization files to version 1.1.3.0 with equal merged-key coverage and placeholder validation.

•Added localized Advanced Generation, MPE, automation, AI credit, locked-state, and edition messages.

•Added localized Freesound Browser setup, search, filters, playback, import, attribution, and API limitation messages across all 31 shipped language files, with validated fallback coverage for every shipped language.

•Main workspace, Audio Devices, Plugins, Scanner, Appearance, and Settings now refresh visible text when the language changes without recreating the audio device or project state.

Platforms

HyperION 1.1.3.0 targets:

•Windows x64 standalone

•Windows ARM64 standalone

•Steam x64

•Steam Demo x64

•Microsoft Store x64 and ARM64 MSIX

•Combined multi-architecture installer/update payload

Native Windows ARM64 Steam builds are not included because the configured Steamworks SDK does not provide a Windows ARM64 Steam API library. Native ARM64 remains available for standalone and Microsoft Store packages. The separate Steam Demo x64 artifact is retained for SteamPipe testing, while the combined installer payload contains the supported non-Steam architectures and Steam x64 payload.

Verification

•PatternLaneVoiceTests: passed on the latest x64 code.

•Pattern tests cover audible rendered output and active sample/internal voice sources.

•Demo Song regression coverage includes visible Step Sequencer data, correct velocity scale, Pattern-to-engine buffer connection, genre kit selection, real tom lanes, real 808 accents, Reggaeton percussion, and Arabesk defaults.

•Instrument Library audit reports 4,173 presets, 36 categories, 9,631 zones, and zero missing zones in the previously validated x64 runtime.

•Freesound tests cover secure HTTPS query construction, BPM/key/license filters, and search-response parsing without live-network dependency.

•The latest normal Windows x64 application target builds successfully.

•Stock plug-in stress coverage completed with 45 editors, 231 passing checks, 277 editor open/close cycles, 200 hosted tabs, and 100 host lifecycle cycles.

•HyperEQ accessibility coverage completed with 20,463 passing checks; HyperSampler, PhaseFlow, Instrument Suite, and Steam purchase reconciliation tests passed.

•Localization validation passed for 31 languages and 7,365 merged keys per language.

•Unsigned x64 and ARM64 MSIX packages were produced and validated with version 1.1.3.0 manifests and matching executable architectures.

•The multi-architecture release assembler produced validated x64/ARM64 manifests with 9,580 entries each and a final SHA-256 file list.

Upgrade Note

Projects or Demo Songs generated by an older build keep their existing Pattern and sample assignments. Regenerate the Demo Song with 1.1.3.0 to receive the new drum mappings, 808s, toms, Reggaeton groove, Arabesk behavior, Vocal Guide, and Pattern playback fixes.

Steam Review Notes

•The Steam build does not expose Patreon, donation, external checkout, virtual currency, credit-pack purchases, or active Steam MicroTransactions.

•Optional user-configured external AI providers are disclosed separately at https://hyperiondaw.com/ai-providers. Provider accounts, API keys, quotas, subscriptions, and charges are managed directly by the user and provider; the core DAW does not require them.

•Steam MicroTransactions remain disabled in this release pending a separate production Steam Wallet test and GetReport evidence submission.

HyperION DAW 1.1.2.0 brings stability fixes for core arrangement workflows, stock plugin identity compatibility, and recording preview behavior. This release focuses on eliminating duplicate/paste regressions and improving consistency during undo/redo and transport loop conditions. Highlights Core Fixes Fixed a duplicate/copy-paste issue where HyperReverb chain and preset operations could fail due to URI inconsistency between registry and runtime.

•Added backward-compatible support so older projects using the legacy hyperion-stock-effect://hyperverb identifier continue to load correctly.

•Fixed arrangement clip duplication logic to preserve relative spacing of selected groups and avoid overlapping on target tracks.

•Fixed clip deletion on Ctrl+Right Click so only the clicked clip is removed when multiple clips are selected.

•Fixed undo behavior for clip operations to avoid creating unnecessary empty undo entries.

•Fixed Ctrl+D behavior to prioritize clip duplication when a clip is selected, matching user expectation across arrangement workflows.

•Fixed clip drop/creation logic to prevent extra undo entries during drag operations.

•Fixed recording preview growth/length handling during loop playback to prevent waveform preview from shrinking or resetting unexpectedly.

•Updated recording preview duration calculation to be based on actual elapsed recording time rather than loop wrap position.

•Expanded recording preview buffer handling for more stable waveform visualization in normal takes.

Technical Notes

•HyperReverb identifier canonicalized to: hyperion-stock-effect://hyperreverb

•Legacy compatibility alias retained: hyperion-stock-effect://hyperverb

•Added regression coverage for plugin URI compatibility.

•Updated arrangement/recording behavior in UI and audio engine paths to keep behavior consistent across x64 and ARM64 variants.

Packaging and Validation

•Built and verified the following release artifacts: Hyperion.exe x64 and ARM64 variants for Normal / Steam / Demo

•x64 and ARM64 MSIX packages

•Multi-architecture release assembly

•Installer/updater and manifest hashes revalidated after final behavior changes

Testing

•Full test suite status: all tests passed after final changes.

HyperION DAW 1.0.7.0 focuses on a smoother creative workflow: cleaner Production Deck panels, stronger generator behavior, better plug-in handling and more reliable Windows delivery. What's New Production Deck compact panels were cleaned up for low-height and scaled Windows layouts.

•Mixer Console now uses a compact horizontal layout inside Production Deck, with clearer VOL/PAN controls, two visible FX rows and corrected mouse hitboxes.

•Master Matrix compact view now keeps Spectrum, Energy Matrix and Live Master Readout from overlapping in short panels.

•Pattern View and mixer repaint behavior were trimmed to reduce UI stutter when slot counts grow.

•Embedded Piano Roll and Step Sequencer start with the essential note/step controls, then reveal deeper controls when the deck is expanded.

•Browser Drop is now presented as Project Pool for session asset handling.

•Piano Roll and Drum Generator variation controls are expanded for smarter, less repetitive output.

•Drum Generator defaults now start clean with Kick, Snare, Clap, Hat and Bass; extra lanes are added only when selected or genre-appropriate.

•Demo Song Generator now covers more styles, including rap, trap, synthwave, rock, nu metal and arabesk directions.

•Clip ends, loop points and pattern restarts received safer boundary handling to reduce clicks and pops.

•Arrangement selection and timing behavior were improved for longer sessions.

•Embedded Piano Roll and Step Sequencer start with the essential note/step controls, then reveal deeper controls when the deck is expanded.

•Browser Drop is now presented as Project Pool for session asset handling.

•Piano Roll and Drum Generator variation controls are expanded for smarter, less repetitive output.

•Drum Generator defaults now start clean with Kick, Snare, Clap, Hat and Bass; extra lanes are added only when selected or genre-appropriate.

•Demo Song Generator now covers more styles, including rap, trap, synthwave, rock, nu metal and arabesk directions.

•Clip ends, loop points and pattern restarts received safer boundary handling to reduce clicks and pops.

•Arrangement selection and timing behavior were improved for longer sessions.

•VST3 scanning was hardened for all-in-one, shell, suite and bundle-style plug-ins.

HyperION DAW v1.0.6.0 - Setup reliability, generator workflow, and packaged manuals 25.07.2026 HyperION DAW v1.0.6.0 is a maintenance and workflow release focused on smoother installation, more reliable update delivery, better creative-generator behavior, and complete packaged documentation for offline use. This release ships refreshed Windows x64 and ARM64 builds, updated MSIX packages, a rebuilt online setup/updater, and new Cloudflare manifests for the 1.0.6.0 release payload. Highlights Fixed the setup "Change install folder" crash by replacing the fragile native folder picker path with a safer built-in install-path dialog.

•Rebuilt both HyperION Setup and HyperION Updater as version 1.0.6.0.

•Improved compatibility with stricter Windows security tools by disabling compressed single-file setup publishing.

•Improved popup/menu usability with larger global popup hit areas and wider menu rows.

•Kept generator dialogs open after generation so producers can iterate without reopening tools.

•Added local Turkish and English manual snapshots from the official HyperION website into the shipped payload.

•Rebuilt x64 and ARM64 release executables and MSIX packages for the 1.0.6.0 release line.

Installer and Updater

•The install-folder selector no longer depends on the Windows native folder picker, which could freeze or crash on some systems.

•The replacement dialog allows users to type, paste, or quickly select common install locations.

•The updater uses the same corrected setup code path.

•The release packager no longer requires a local legacy unins000.exe file when assembling Cloudflare payloads.

•Setup and Updater file versions are now stamped as 1.0.6.0.

Creative Workflow

•Piano Roll Generator now stays open after generation and changes the button to "Generate Again".

•Step Generator now stays open after generation and supports faster repeat variations.

•Demo Song Composer now stays open after a successful generation, making it easier to adjust settings and generate again.

•Demo Song Composer performance/stability work reduces heavy generation stalls and crash risk during larger generated sessions.

•Tools and Scripts menu routing was repaired so MIDI edit utilities do not collide with generator actions.

UI and Interaction

•Popup menus have larger, more forgiving rows for easier mouse targeting.

•Theme selection now reopens the menu after a theme is applied, making quick theme comparisons smoother.

Öğe açıklaması HyperION v1.0.5.0 — Expressive MIDI, Recording Control & Native ARM64 HyperION 1.0.5.0 expands the creative workflow with FL-style note articulations, cleaner recording separation, a substantially upgraded sample editor, stronger plug-in hosting, and native Windows on Arm delivery. This release also closes several stopped-playback audio and plug-in lifecycle issues reported during the 1.0.4 cycle. Highlights Added native, FL-style Slide and Legato notes in Piano Roll, independent of MPE mode.

•Separated Arrangement, Piano Roll, and Drum Pad recording so each workspace records only when its own REC mode is armed.

•Added first-hit recording start for Piano Roll and Drum Pad, persistent project count-in settings, and * / Numpad * transport recording control.

•Added editable sample loop points, ping-pong looping, waveform preview, up to +2 dB sample gain, BPM Fit, stretch modes, and Cut Silence at Start.

•Improved VST3 and WaveShell discovery, retryable quarantine handling, scan progress, and long cold-start support for Waves catalogues.

•Added a professional plug-in wrapper panel with processing, MIDI, GUI, troubleshooting, connection, preset, and automation controls.

•Fixed recurring stopped-state Pattern ghost audio, stale C1 step metadata, retained plug-in voices, and pre-stop PDC audio replay.

•Hardened plug-in editor close, reopen, and replacement paths to prevent stale editors and asynchronous replacement races.

•Added native x64 and ARM64 executables and MSIX packages, plus architecture-aware Setup and Updater delivery.

Piano Roll: Slide, Legato & Note Editing

•Slide and Legato are now distinct note articulations rather than MPE aliases.

•Slide reuses the preceding voice and glides into the target pitch over the Slide note duration without retriggering the instrument.

•Legato overlaps connected notes while preserving a normal target Note-On for mono and legato-capable instruments.

•Articulations can be changed from the Piano Roll toolbar, Ctrl + right-click note menu, and Note Properties window.

•Plain right-click drag remains the fast erase gesture; Shift + right-click is reserved for MPE editing.

•Slide and Legato state is stored with the project and displayed directly on notes.

Recording Workflows

•Arrangement recording no longer arms Piano Roll or Drum Pad recording implicitly.

•Piano Roll and Drum Pad local REC modes operate independently from the main Arrangement REC control.

•When a local REC mode is armed, the first keyboard, MIDI, pad, or mouse input starts playback and is captured instead of being dropped.

•Recorded note duration follows the actual press/release interval with a safe minimum length.

•Stopping playback finalizes active local notes and Arrangement audio/MIDI clips once, without reopening recording on the next Space press.

•* and Numpad * start playback with Arrangement recording; pressing the shortcut again stops recording while transport can continue.

•Arrangement and Pattern count-in defaults are off and are saved per project.

Audio Clips & Sample Editor

•Added a full waveform view with draggable Start, End, Loop In, and Loop Out points.

•Added standard and ping-pong loop playback with loop crossfade support.

•Sample gain can now be raised to +2 dB from the editor.

•Added BPM Fit / Time Stretch controls with project-tempo follow, pitch preservation, and source/target BPM editing.

•Added selectable stretch modes and material-focused algorithms for drums, vocals, speech, textures, low-latency preview, and offline-quality requests.

•Improved pitch-preserving playback with allocation-free processing and cubic interpolation in the built-in fallback engine.

•Added Cut Silence at Start to the Arrangement clip context menu while preserving the detected transient's timeline position.

•Loop, trim, gain, stretch, and tempo settings are persisted with the project.

Plug-in Hosting & Scanning

•WaveShell entries from older short-watchdog builds are released from stale quarantine and can be scanned again.

•Waves catalogue enumeration now receives a bounded ten-minute cold-start window instead of being treated as a permanent failure.

•Timed-out or temporarily unavailable plug-ins remain retryable, while genuine per-binary crashes retain quarantine protection.

•Plug-in picker results now exclude invalid/quarantined entries and use stable sorting.

•Plug-in editor hosting now adapts to plug-in-driven resizing and display DPI while keeping oversized editors accessible.

•Added wrapper controls for processing mode, inactive I/O, MIDI behavior, GUI scaling, parameter notifications, presets, routing, troubleshooting, and All Notes Off.

•Added parameter mapping with formula presets, custom formulas, smoothing, conflict handling, and MIDI learn.

•Plug-in replacement uses generation checks so an older asynchronous load cannot overwrite a newer request.

•Editor teardown is synchronized before instance destruction to reduce close/reopen and replacement crashes.

Playback Stability & Audio Engine

•Reset stale Pattern activeVoiceCount state when playback stops so an idle generator graph cannot continue emitting rhythmic ghost audio.

•Reset mixer PDC delay history across transport discontinuities so audio buffered before Stop cannot replay afterward.

•Repaired stale C1 step/root-note metadata that could pitch a selected sample down unexpectedly.

•Added bounded, non-blocking All Notes Off cleanup across MIDI channels and stopped plug-in processing tails.

•Prevented VST step/audition playback from creating a parallel synthesized fallback voice.

•Improved selected-slot preview isolation and cleanup when changing Pattern lanes.

Licensing & Microsoft Store

•Local license material is now protected with Windows DPAPI instead of storing the recoverable key as plain text.

•Local activations synchronize with the server /check endpoint and clear invalid or revoked activation state.

•Microsoft Store license validation runs only for the real KOSMUSIC.HyperionDAW package identity, so normal EXE and test builds are not incorrectly locked.

Windows x64, ARM64, Setup & Updater

•Added true PE x64 and ARM64 builds for HyperION, HyperION AI Setup, and HyperION Plug-in Scanner.

•Added architecture-specific x64 and ARM64 MSIX packages for Microsoft Store distribution.

•HyperionSetup.exe selects the correct x64 or ARM64 payload for the device.

•Added Updater.exe with the same architecture-aware delivery model.

•Shared assets remain common to both architectures to avoid duplicate downloads.

Distribution and Updating

HyperION 1.0.5.0 is available as:

•Architecture-aware Windows Setup

•Architecture-aware HyperION Updater

•Microsoft Store MSIX for x64

•Microsoft Store MSIX for ARM64

•Standalone x64 and ARM64 executable bundles

Existing projects remain compatible. As always, save a backup copy of important sessions before opening them in a newer version.

HyperION v1.0.3.0 — Online Setup, AI Runtime Management & Plug-in Host Reliability HyperION 1.0.3.0 modernizes installation and updating, adds a dedicated AI model and runtime manager with resumable downloads, strengthens third-party VST3 and sidechain hosting, and delivers major workflow and interface upgrades across MasterLab, Home, Pattern, Arrangement, and Browser. Highlights New compact online setup: install, update, repair, or uninstall HyperION with a 51.3 MiB setup application instead of a multi-gigabyte monolithic installer.

•New HyperION AI Setup application: inspect, install, and repair supported AI models, components, and isolated runtimes from one place.

•Resumable, verified downloads: interrupted AI model and runtime downloads continue from saved progress and are checked before installation.

•More reliable plug-in hosting: improved VST3 auxiliary-bus negotiation, real Pattern Mixer sidechain delivery, safer native editor handling, and reduced audio interruptions during plug-in changes.

•Major MasterLab redesign: reorderable modules, editable mastering EQ, expanded maximizer controls, new balance controls, improved metering, and persistent A/B state.

•Refreshed core workflows: a redesigned Home dashboard, persistent Pattern controls, better one-shot sample drops, cleaner library roots, protected media packages, and broad theme-aware UI polish.

What’s New

Online Setup and Distribution

•Added a self-contained Windows x64 online setup application for install, update, repair, and uninstall operations.

•The setup compares installed files with the current release manifest by file size and SHA-256, then downloads only files that are missing or different.

•Downloads are staged and verified before the active installation is changed.

•If applying an update fails, the setup restores the previous installation from its backup.

•Added installed-version detection, available-version reporting, disk-space checks, obsolete-file cleanup, process shutdown handling, and Desktop/Start Menu shortcut creation.

•Automatic downgrades are blocked to protect newer installations.

•Uninstalling keeps projects, presets, license data, and user settings stored outside the application directory.

•HyperION, HyperION Plugin Scanner, and HyperION AI Setup now share the centralized 1.0.3.0 product version and ship with distinct Windows application icons.

•Bundled media now ships in integrity-checked protected asset packages and mounts transparently into a read-only versioned cache when needed.

•The packaged application footprint was reduced substantially by removing duplicated and retired media trees and using one canonical deployment asset set.

AI Setup, Models, and Providers

•Added HyperION AI Setup.exe, a dedicated utility for checking and installing supported AI components.

•The utility can install all missing directly downloadable models and can install or repair: ACE-Step Prompt Audio

•HyperExpression factory sample instrument

•SoulX-Singer

•Private RVC runtime

•Isolated Stem, MIDI, and Pitch runtimes

•Added prerequisite checks and guided installation support for Python 3.12, Git, and FFmpeg through Windows Package Manager where required.

•Model and runtime downloads now support resume. Partial downloads are retained after cancellation or connection loss and continue from the saved byte on retry.

•Added exact download-size validation, SHA-256 verification, retry handling, and protection against servers that ignore range requests.

•AI download interfaces now show transferred bytes, total size, progress, and estimated time remaining where available.

•Improved cancellation and progress reporting for ACE-Step, Eleven Music, Stability Audio, and generic AI endpoint downloads.

•Normalized copied credentials by removing accidental quotes, whitespace, byte-order marks, and invisible characters.

•Added clearer rejection of credentials used with the wrong provider and strengthened credential-vault synchronization.

•Normalized hidden Unicode characters and line endings in prompts before requests are submitted.

•Background AI work now scales with the available processor count while reserving capacity for the audio engine and interface.

Plug-in Hosting, Sidechains, and Audio Engine

•Reworked VST3 auxiliary-bus negotiation to use each processor’s actual mono, stereo, or disabled sidechain layout instead of assuming fixed input channels.

•Hosted processors now receive an exact flattened channel buffer matching the negotiated bus layout.

•Added preallocated per-slot processing buffers to reduce allocation pressure during playback.

•Pattern Mixer sidechain routes now participate in processing order and deliver real sidechain audio to insert effects, including effects on the master channel.

•Sidechain dependency ordering now accounts for Pattern Mixer routes and avoids invalid routing cycles.

•Added live sidechain diagnostics to the hosted plug-in interface, including route, bus, signal, and level status.

•Protected sidechain source changes with the audio engine’s processing lock.

•Added a Windows crash barrier around third-party native editor creation. If a malformed native editor fails during creation, HyperION can fall back to its generic parameter editor.

•Hardened native VST3 editor attach, detach, and close behavior against late Windows UI Automation and provider callbacks.

•Native editor creation is now deferred until the host window is visible and displays a loading placeholder while opening.

•Redesigned the hosted plug-in window with a consistent canvas and footer showing developer, format, version, category, preset, and sidechain information.

•The audio callback no longer blocks while a plug-in is being constructed or the graph is being changed.

•If the graph lock is temporarily unavailable, HyperION smoothly ramps the last valid signal to silence and fades the next valid block back in.

•Audio scratch buffers are preallocated instead of being expanded inside the real-time callback.

HyperION MasterLab, HyperEQ, and Analysis

•Rebuilt HyperION MasterLab around a modular mastering chain: Equalizer

•Dynamics

•Exciter

•Imager

•Maximizer

•Modules can be reordered by dragging, disabled, or removed. Module order and enabled state persist in saved state and A/B snapshots.

•Added an interactive module canvas and a four-band mastering EQ with editable frequency and gain nodes.

•Mastering Assistant tonal corrections are now applied to the visible, editable EQ nodes rather than hidden processing.

•Added vocal, bass, and instrument balance controls.

•Added four Maximizer styles: Clear Lift, Punch Guard, Dense Modern, and Warm Flow.

•Added Maximizer character, transient, stereo-link, release, and ISP Safety controls.

•Expanded analysis and control pages with improved live metering and correlation feedback.

•Improved MasterLab responsiveness across window sizes, interface scales, and themes.

•HyperEQ now displays dynamic-EQ ranges directly on the response curve with draggable range handles.

•Added Dynamic Range choices for -12, -6, -3, 0, +3, +6, and +12 dB.

•Improved SOLO, DYN, FOCUS, MID, and SIDE tags, stereo-mode labeling, context menus, and help text.

•Improved Spectrum Matrix layout behavior at compact heights, including its terminal and recommendation areas.

Pattern, Arrangement, and One-Shot Workflow

•Added a per-channel power control to Pattern Mini Mixer channels. Disabled channels skip their DSP processing.

•Pattern Mixer channel enabled state is now saved with the project; disabling the master clears its output.

•Added a persistent global On/Off control to Pattern Drum Pad. Turning it off stops preview and recording activity and displays a clear disabled state.

•Right-clicking a Step Sequencer step now erases it directly, with right-drag erasing supported across steps.

•MIDI-only lanes are protected from Step Sequencer erase gestures.

•Audio samples dropped anywhere on an empty Instrument Track now load into that track’s one-shot sampler instead of falling back to Audio 1.

•Explorer drop coordinates are forwarded correctly into the Arrangement, and empty Instrument Tracks are recognized beyond the strict header area.

•Widened and reorganized Arrangement track headers so automation, record, monitor, mute, solo, pan, stereo, and fader controls remain readable.

•Refined Pattern Mixer, Drum Pad, Arrangement headers, faders, buttons, scrollbars, cards, and high-contrast control states.

Browser, Libraries, and Bundled Assets

•Browser libraries now preserve three distinct bundled roots: FactorySamples

•Default Samples

•Libre Sample Pack

•The actual folder structure beneath each root is retained in the Browser.

•Browser scanning now uses a single canonical deployment asset root, preventing duplicate entries from source and build copies.

•Restricted Libre Sample Pack scanning to the maintained packaged library and excluded retired multi-gigabyte folders.

•Added duplicate-path cleanup, cached-path migration, and automatic repair of duplicate cache records.

•Corrected top-level Browser categories so content appears under the intended library root.

•AIModels and AIProviders remain separate from packaged media assets.

•Asset lookup, project serialization, and Instrument Suite now resolve bundled content through the protected mounted asset root.

Home Dashboard and Interface

•Redesigned the Home screen around a fixed navigation sidebar with Home, Projects, Plugins, Audio Devices, Settings, and Help sections.

•Added a new hero area, Recent Projects panel, Tools & Quick Access area, and an audio-device status card.

•Added prominent New Project and Open Project actions.

•Added direct Activate and Buy License actions plus official website and social links.

•Added a Buy HyperION on Gumroad action to the activation dialog.

•Redesigned the New Project dialog as a larger split hero/form layout while retaining the existing project options.

•Applied broader theme-aware polish to the top bar, bottom status bar, studio deck, Pattern Mixer, Welcome view, Arrangement, status displays, cards, controls, spacing, and contrast.

Developer Tooling and Regression Coverage

•Added an optional compile-time in-app visual UI designer with per-window and per-plug-in JSON layout overrides. It remains disabled in standard release builds.

•Added or expanded regression coverage for exact external-sidechain bus delivery, main-input isolation, HyperEQ sidechain response, one-shot rendering, MasterLab module state and DSP, and Browser library-root behavior.

Fixed

•Fixed hosted sidechain audio being delivered to assumed or incorrect channels.

•Fixed Pattern Mixer sidechain selections that appeared configured but did not affect real processing.

•Fixed sidechain audio leaking into a plug-in’s main input path.

•Reduced crashes caused by malformed third-party native editor creation and late Windows UI Automation callbacks during editor shutdown.

•Reduced clicks and playback interruptions while plug-ins are being inserted, removed, or initialized.

•Fixed one-shot sample drops on empty Instrument Tracks being redirected to Audio 1 or creating a named track without playable audio.

•Fixed disabled Pattern Mixer channels continuing to process or losing their enabled state after reopening a project.

•Fixed duplicate Browser entries, incorrect bundled-library classification, and stale cached asset paths.

•Fixed AI credentials failing because of copied quotes, invisible characters, or formatting whitespace.

•Fixed ambiguous provider/key mismatch errors and improved credential-vault thread safety.

HyperION v1.0.1 — Pattern Workflow, MIDI Stability & Export Reliability This release delivers a major stability and workflow pass across Pattern sequencing, Instrument Tracks, VST playback, export, AI-assisted tools, the sample browser, and editing workflows. Highlights Rebuilt Pattern and Instrument Track MIDI ownership to prevent clips, notes, and VST instances from interfering with one another.

•Added an FL-style global Pattern rack while keeping each Pattern's musical content independent.

•Added reliable Pattern VST rendering to Full Song and Stem exports, with real progress reporting.

•Expanded Step Sequencer editing, Pattern splitting, stopped-transport preview, and arrangement clip visualization.

•Improved BYOK AI provider responsiveness, Demo Song variation, Drum Generator control, browser indexing, and long-session memory behavior.

What's New

Pattern and Step Sequencer workflow

•Added a shared global channel/slot rack across all Patterns.

•VST assignments, samples, lane names, and channel settings now stay synchronized between Patterns.

•Steps, Piano Roll notes, expression data, Pattern length, mixer levels, and automation remain independent per Pattern.

•Added Split by Channel for occupied lanes. Each populated channel can be placed on its own Arrangement Pattern track while empty slots are skipped.

•Added FL-style Pattern clip previews using aligned, color-coded step and note blocks instead of waveform placeholders.

•Removed redundant Pattern clip labels so musical content starts at the beginning of the clip.

•Added Step Sequencer selection and editing commands: Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+D, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y, Delete/Backspace, and Escape.

•Step clipboard data preserves velocity, probability, pan, pitch, gate/length, micro-timing, ratchet/roll, automation, expression, accent, slide, and lane mute state.

•Added transaction-based undo/redo history for Step Sequencer edits.

•Changed the default Drum Pattern label to Pattern.

Instrument Tracks and MIDI clips

•Instrument Track MIDI clips are now independent snapshots rather than live Pattern-linked proxies.

•Existing projects with legacy pattern:// Instrument Track clips are migrated without deleting their notes.

•Pattern generation no longer clears or rewrites unrelated Instrument Track MIDI clips.

•Piano, chord, arpeggio, and quick generators now replace only the target beat range while preserving the rest of the clip.

•Instrument Tracks automatically adopt the assigned VST instrument name.

•Instrument Track MIDI clips use the track name instead of inheriting a Pattern name.

•Added Open Plugin Editor to the Instrument Track context menu.

Export and rendering

•Full Song and Stem exports now render live Pattern VST instruments correctly.

•Added explicit export scopes for Song, Pattern, Selection, and Stems.

•Prevented cached Pattern preview audio from being mixed on top of live Pattern VST rendering.

•Export cleanup now resets temporary realtime MIDI and active-note state without leaving VSTs silent or corrupted afterward.

•Added real export progress with render stage, percentage, processed samples, track/stem counters, elapsed time, render speed, ETA, cancellation, and error state.

AI and music generation

•BYOK provider discovery, validation, capability loading, and model loading now run asynchronously.

•Changing providers cancels stale requests, and changing a model no longer restarts the provider unnecessarily.

•Added safer callback lifetime handling, terminal job cleanup, timeout/cancellation behavior, and throttled progress snapshots.

•Demo Song generation now uses fresh seeds and responds more meaningfully to its settings.

•Improved progression, motif, harmony, melody, rhythm, and kick/bass relationships for more varied but musically coherent results.

•Drum Generator now supports per-channel Generate, Keep Existing, Clear, and Disabled modes.

•Added targeted generation for Kick, Snare, Clap, Closed/Open Hat, Percussion, Tom, Rim, Shaker, Crash, Ride, Cymbal, FX, and 808 lanes.

•Added deterministic seed behavior and new-take randomization across House, Trap, Boom Bap, Techno, DnB, and Reggaeton foundations.

Browser and bundled content

•The browser now indexes these active library roots: Assets/FactorySamples: 3,949 official media files

•Assets/Samples: 5,659 third-party CC0 media files

•A total of 9,608 local sample/MIDI assets are included in the catalog.

•Removed the obsolete empty Assets/Factory root from scanning and packaging.

•Old or incomplete browser caches are detected and rebuilt automatically.

•Cache validation now compares the actual supported file set and preserves absolute source paths, preventing collisions between identical relative filenames.

•Improved Instruments and Vocals classification, including semantic filename/metadata inference and One Shot aliases.

•Added browser search filters for tag:, bpm: and key:.

•Reworked background library scanning to build a complete local list before publishing it as an immutable snapshot.

•Browser UI readers no longer hold a direct reference to a sample vector that can be modified by the scanner thread.

•Fixed a sample-library race condition that could invalidate browser data and trigger heap corruption during background scans.

Plug-ins and UI

•Redesigned the HyperION Instrument Suite layout with separated title and action bars, cleaner preset browsing, improved macro labeling, and fixed overlapping controls.

•Improved Pattern clip rendering with pixel-aligned notes, consistent thickness, and cleaner geometry.

•PhaseFlow automation scenes now reach the DSP through immutable realtime snapshots without audio-thread locking or allocation.

•PhaseFlow volume envelopes, depth, amount, global mix, smoothing, bypass, MIDI trigger/latch, swing, loop, and hold behavior are now connected to the audio path.

•Improved PhaseFlow scaling and active-theme integration.

•Added a standalone Hyperion Plugin Scanner.exe application.

•VST scanning now prefers the separate scanner and isolates individual plug-ins in worker processes, preventing a faulty plug-in from taking down the main DAW.

•Added a Windows multi-resolution application icon with native 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 96, 128, and 256 px layers for sharper Explorer, taskbar, shortcut, and desktop rendering.

Release and distribution

•Centralized the application version and synchronized CMake, build metadata, FileVersion, and ProductVersion at 1.0.1.

•Kept JUCE and the application core statically linked instead of adding unnecessary runtime DLL dependencies.

•Produced and verified a clean Windows Release build containing both the main DAW and standalone plug-in scanner.

•Produced a new Windows installer containing the complete official and CC0 sample libraries.

•Installer size: 2,097,851,746 bytes.

Fixed

Pattern playback and VST processing

•Fixed the selected Pattern being forced into playback while Song mode was playing other Arrangement Patterns.

•Fixed multiple Patterns sharing and repeatedly processing the same VST instance in one audio block.

•MIDI from Patterns sharing a VST is now merged before the VST is processed once per block.

•Fixed one Pattern stopping or muting the VST sound of another active Pattern.

•Fixed Pattern note ownership collisions caused by identical lane/note indexes across different Patterns.

•Fixed Pattern changes overwriting other Patterns' lane, mixer, and VST state.

•Fixed Step Sequencer VST on/off state not affecting the actual audio path.

•Fixed stopped-transport pad, step, Piano Roll, and plug-in keyboard preview.

•Fixed old VST preview notes causing unrelated slots to sound while editing a step.

•Fixed stopped-preview audio being cleared by the MixerGraph before reaching the output.

MIDI scheduling and note integrity

•Fixed Arrangement MIDI events leaking beyond visible clip boundaries.

•Long notes now receive a source-selective note-off at the clip end.

•Fixed Arrangement and Pattern schedulers competing for the same instrument in Pattern mode.

•Added source-aware ownership for Arrangement, Pattern, Piano Roll preview, Step preview, external/live, and plug-in UI notes.

•Transport stop now releases playback voices without killing held live-preview notes.

•Fixed same-note note-on/note-off ordering at boundaries between multiple MIDI clips on one Instrument Track.

•Fixed clip Event FX causing long MIDI notes to retrigger on every audio block.

•Fixed track VST processing being repeated for every Event FX clip and tail.

•Fixed generator commands clearing entire MIDI clips instead of their intended ranges.

Stability and performance

•Removed automatic large crash-dump generation because dump files could consume excessive disk space.

•HyperION now writes diagnostics to a single lightweight Documents/HYPERION/Logs/log.txt file, capped to approximately 512 KB at startup.

•Crash logs retain the exception code and description, fault address, module, RVA, thread, and available stack information. Exception 0xC0000374 is identified explicitly as Heap Corruption.

•Added a per-user Windows Error Reporting exclusion for HyperION and the standalone scanner so new full memory dumps are not generated by WER.

•Added entry- and byte-limited LRU eviction to the sample cache.

•Moved sample decoding outside the cache lock to reduce blocking.

•Fixed AI job and callback lifetime retention after terminal states.

•Reduced excessive AI progress snapshot churn.

•Improved realtime-safe state transfer and allocation behavior in PhaseFlow.

Validation

•Windows Release build completed successfully with JUCE 8.

•Full automated suite: 19/19 tests passed at the main stability checkpoint.

•Final post-hardening acceptance run: 38 passed, 0 failed.

•Repeated post-fix Release builds and PatternLaneVoiceTests runs passed.

•AIMusicGenerationTests passed.

•PhaseFlowTests passed across 44.1/48/96/192 kHz, mono/stereo, and 1–2048 sample block sizes.

•VocalSculptorTests: 1,474 checks passed.

•HyperMasterLabTests: 736 checks passed.

•HyperION Instrument Suite audit: 109 factory presets passed.

•Sample and Pattern regression tests passed with the immutable library snapshot implementation.

•Standalone scanner launch and isolated worker mode were verified.

•Main DAW startup remained stable during the initial background library scan.

•Both Hyperion.exe and Hyperion Plugin Scanner.exe report version 1.0.1.

•The new multi-resolution icon was verified from the built executable.

Known Notes

•Representative third-party VSTs, including plug-ins with custom offline-render or licensing behavior, still require manual compatibility testing.

•A 30–60 minute real-world GUI/VST soak test remains recommended.

•ETA may fluctuate during very short renders.

•Existing compiler warnings from deprecated JUCE APIs and numeric conversions remain, but no new build failures were introduced by this release.
