From my tests there seems to be a problem with the SFZ export feature. While the exported SFZ loads back into Bliss OK, the loop end point embedded in the WAV file is being positioned at the start of the sample. You can see this when viewing the file in a WAV editor that displays loop points. This causes the loop in the sample to cycle from the loop start back to the sample start as if it is a reverse loop of some sort. When importing an SFZ, Bliss must be primarily relying on the sample loop start and end data that is saved in its SFZ file because it can reload the SFZ and retain the proper loop points, but other programs that are relying primarily on the actual embedded loop points are having a problem.
This is a new bug - the previous version of Bliss from earlier this year does not show this problem with its exported SFZ WAV files. I have compared the files side by side.

Hello, thanks for the report. We are already aware of this issue and it is scheduled to be fixed on the next update.

I have a couple questions about Bliss:
I see that there is a stretch knob. I'm guessing this stretches the length independent of pitch. Does the legnth stay constant when playing different notes in this mode?
Is there round robin when capturing vsts? and does it export round robin in sfz? I think the answer to these is no however that would be really useful.

It should, yes. Round robin is still pending.

Thank you! I especially like the embedded loop points on exported wav files!

Just Downloaded and installed the update.

Bliss doesn't seem to output any sound at all !!

Tested the AU, the VST3 and the stand alone on a Mac M1. Tested plugins using Studio One 6, Logic Pro & Flstudio 21.

Although all functions seem to be working (loading banks/presets, manipulating wave files etc) there's simply no sound being output by the plugin.

Can anyone confirm if this is some sort of bug or a specific problem with my system ? Thanks.

Thanks for the report.

Please Switch Engine Quality to normal under Options. It only happens with macOS by the way.

I will post a hot fix for this in the next hour.

george · Post by **george** » Mon Dec 12, 2022 7:02 pm

Silent high and extreme interpolation quality modes are fixed.

macOS users please re-download the installer, it doesn't affect Windows or Linux builds.

Apologies about the inconvenience.

...

Would have liked to know if you were able to use AU plugins with Bliss.
Last time I tried it didn't work right.

Bliss AU hosting still works a bit fiddly and is work in progress, please try the demo.

The most solid and recommended instrument hosting is VST2 for now.

Really hope to see this coming up on par with the VST ones!

Yes, hopefully with the next framework update which should largely improve it.
