transform.engine v1.2.0 release notes

  • Engine Version: 1.2.0
  • Windows Client Version: 1.2.0
  • macOS Client Version: 1.2.0

Summary​

We’re excited to release transform.engine v1.2, featuring:

  • 🔥 Store and recall plugin data in Cuelists: store and recall Cues, which snapshot the entire state of all currently loaded plugins
  • 🤖 MIDI Control: use MIDI to fire Cues
  • ⏰ 512-sample periods: for latency-hungry plugins

…as well as a number of other goodies and bugfixes.

We encourage all users to update to this fully backwards-compatible release as soon as possible.

Bugs Fixed In This Release​

  • TF-1810: Plugin scanner can show endless spinner
  • TF-1919: Improve chain startup times

  • TF-2181: transform.client: Disconnection warning could occasionally flicker into view
  • TF-1970: transform.client: Improve performance by fiddling with scrollbar implementation

Compatibility Notes​

This release introduces no compatibility changes from v1.1.0.

Showfiles are fully backwards- and forwards-compatible with transform.engine v1.1.

transform.engine v1.2 is fully backwards compatible with transform.client v1.0-v1.1, and vice-versa; you can connect to an engine running v1.1 from a client running v1.2, and to an engine running v1.2 from a client running v1.1.

Known Issues​

Users should be aware of the following known issues in this release, which we hope to address in a future update:

  • TF-1891: DSP load meter can occasionally jump to 100% load, before returning to normal. We believe these occasional jumps are spurious and can be safely ignored.
  • TF-2148: When transform.engine is the PTP clock leader, changing the sample rate from 96 kHz to 48 kHz in Dante Controller can result in the Dante audio transport stalling if transform.engine is the PTP clock leader. Restarting the transform.engine after changing sample rate resolves the issue.

For more details and workarounds for these issues, see the known issues list.

A small number of plugins may experience compatibility issues running on transform.engine. For details, see our plugin compatibility database at https://plugins.fourieraudio.com .
