Miserere is the parallel vocal chain of the Basilica Audio suite — sacred-architecture DSP for heavy music: a direct chain plus three parallel busses, each with its own fader, packaging the classic "rough vocal template" workflow as a single unit. Existing channel strips run serial; Miserere's identity is true parallel routing.

This is the first tagged release (v0.1.0), covering the M1 milestone: core DSP and test coverage.

What's in 0.1.0

  • Bus A — Direct: HPF, console-style 3-band EQ, FET compressor (4:1/8:1) with gain-reduction metering, split-band de-esser (4–9 kHz), tape saturation with pre/de-emphasis.
  • Bus B — Opto sandwich: passive-style boost-only EQ (60/100 Hz low, 8/10/12/16 kHz high) into an opto leveler with a genuinely program-dependent two-stage release (60 → 600 ms with gain-reduction history), plus a post air shelf.
  • Bus C — Smash: FET limiter in all-buttons character — ~20:1, program-dependent release shortening, mid-forward detector tilt, drive.
  • Bus D — Slap: 60–180 ms fractional delay (default 110 ms), filtered tape-soft feedback loop, mono switch.
  • Per-bus fader/mute and exclusive solo; busses A–C are sample-aligned (minimum-phase only) so parallel summing never combs; zero latency.
  • 65 Catch2 tests: bit-transparent direct-bus null, parallel impulse alignment, compressor static curves, opto two-stage release, de-esser selectivity, slap timing and feedback stability, NaN/Inf recovery, oversized blocks, state round-trip. pluginval (strictness 10) + auval green in CI.
  • Full user manual, engineering notes and ADR-0003 on the parallel-bus topology.

Honest status notes

  • Voicing: the modules implement the documented behaviors of the classic hardware categories (generic, no brand emulation claims) — a measured-reference + by-ear voicing pass follows in M2 (#4).
  • Presets: the suite-wide preset system (factory presets, user presets, default, import/export) is scheduled for M2 (#3).
  • GUI: functional slider editor; the photoreal skeuomorphic interface lands in M3.

Formats

Platform Formats Notes
macOS 11.0+ AU, VST3, Standalone universal (Apple Silicon + Intel)
Windows x64 VST3, Standalone

Install by copying AU/Miserere.component to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components and/or VST3/Miserere.vst3 to /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 (macOS) or C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 (Windows). Rescan plugins in your DAW after installing.

Signed & notarized

The macOS binaries in this release are Developer-ID-signed, notarized by Apple and stapled — they install and open without Gatekeeper warnings. (Windows binaries remain unsigned for now; Authenticode signing is tracked as roadmap milestone M4.)
