Apotheosis is a lookahead brickwall true-peak limiter for the master bus, and the final plugin in the Basilica Audio heavy-music chain. It is the last gate before export: input gain drives an oversampled true-peak detector, a lookahead delay makes the resulting gain reduction instantaneous (no attack transient) rather than reactive, and a smooth release relaxes it back once the peak has passed. The output's true (inter-sample) peak never exceeds the Ceiling.

This is a patch release over v0.1.0 fixing a GUI bug found in post-merge review. If you downloaded v0.1.0, update to this build.

What's fixed in 0.1.1

Fixed

  • Release Curve and Dither combo boxes rendered empty because ComboBoxAttachment does not auto-populate items from AudioParameterChoice; the editor now explicitly populates both boxes from the live APVTS parameter's getAllValueStrings() before attaching. In v0.1.0 both dropdowns showed no entries, so Release Curve (Exponential/Linear/Smooth) and Dither (Off/16-bit/24-bit) could not be selected from the GUI even though the parameters worked correctly via host automation.

No DSP changes — the signal path is identical to v0.1.0 (see the v0.1.0 release notes and CHANGELOG for the full feature list).
