A mixing and visuals release. Every live vibe is levelled to a common loudness, sections can pan and glide, Orphic Lore grows into a longer piece, and the visualizers are redrawn for smoother animation.

Mixing

  • Consistent loudness. The live vibes are re-levelled to -16 LUFS at master 1.0 using a new per-vibe levelDb trim, so switching vibes no longer jumps in volume. The DJ graph output is restaged with a 35 Hz high-pass and half the clip drive.
  • Per-section pan. A section can override a track's pan and the pan glides between sections. Section jumps land on the next bar line.
  • Vibe fixes. Bell Tolls, Filter Funk, Space & Drums, Lost In Space, Rust Belt, Velvet Leash and Voltage Strut get individual level, drive and tambourine-register fixes. The first vibe after launch now plays at unity.

Orphic Lore

  • Longer and brighter. The vibe runs 3.5 to 4 minutes. The Sirens sing ah-oh on the speech voice and sit brighter in the heavy sections, and the Sirens and bell carry Ashore out alone.

Visualizers

  • Orphoscope lanes. Each Pulsar track gets its own lane, and paused tracks write silence to their rings. Each poll keeps its own read position.
  • Cheaper drawing. Swirly's arms are drawn in a shader, Mt Hood's silhouettes are built once per size, and the Pulsar grid's waveform traces are drawn as rects.

Mix Bench and Orphic MCP

  • Mix Bench. A desktop page for measuring and capturing mix edits, with live meters, capture files and a menu entry.
  • Orphic MCP. The AI edition serves mix, port, vibe and transport tools so an agent can mix a vibe live.

Artifacts
