HyperION 1.0.5.0

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

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 web...

Notes

This release summary covers the working changes completed between July 17 and July 18, 2026.

HyperION v1.0.1

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.
• Installer SHA-256: 062ED892C22246A3CD4784D2ACBCF5A1C88B43255E3E28C2F86E7A4966CECABB.

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.
