Bliss 2.9 is out now, featuring MTS-ESP microtuning support, a powerful new Key Mapper view, expanded SFZ compatibility, and major improvements to the Sample Editor with enhanced UI/UX design and performance optimizations.



What's new
  • Key Mapper View
    • Introduced a visual Key Mapper grid within the Sample Editor for intuitive zone management.
    • Visualize and edit zone key ranges (low/high key), velocity ranges (low/high velocity), and root keys directly on a piano roll-style interface.
    • Supports interactive drag-and-drop resizing of zone boundaries on the grid.
    • Allows direct dragging of the root key indicator within the grid.
    • Provides clear visual feedback for the currently selected zone.
  • SFZ Compatibility
    • Added import and export support for ampeg_attack, ampeg_decay, ampeg_sustain, and ampeg_release opcodes.
    • Corrected SFZ export to place ADSR envelope parameters in the [global] section for enhanced compatibility.
  • Sample Editor Improvements
    • Improved visual handling and interaction logic for overlapping Loop Start/End and Cue Point markers.
    • Optimized playback cursor performance by reducing the repaint area during playback visualization.
    • E-MU .ebl file format support.
  • UI/UX Enhancements
    • Enhanced knob value display strings (bubbles) for Panning, Tuning, LFO Rate, etc., for improved readability.
    • Standardized UI font sizes, removing Windows-specific overrides for better cross-platform consistency.
    • Adjusted font sizes in the Zone List Box for better fit.
    • Removed separators from the main global menu for a cleaner look.
    • Ensured Key Mapper view updates reactively to zone changes and listbox selections.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed AAX support.
    • Sample Editor: Fixed inaccurate playback cursor position reporting when sample pitch shifting was active.
    • Macro Editor: Corrected a visual glitch where Min/Max sliders were missing their background color.
    • Fixed minor grammatical errors in menu item text.
Bliss 2.9 is a free upgrade for all existing Bliss 2.x customers and is available as AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. More details and download information can be found at Bliss page.

Bliss 2.9.2 has been released.

What's new

Audio Engine Improvements
  • Replaced Lagrange interpolation with B-Spline interpolation, offering better audio quality and frequency response.
  • Corrected pitch shifting with 2x/4x engine speeds by compensating for oversampling factor.
SIMD Optimization for Interpolation
  • Added parallel processing for voice interpolation using architecture-specific SIMD instructions (SSE/AVX for x86, NEON for ARM).
  • Implemented prefetching to improve cache usage and reduce memory latency.
  • Optimized the sinc interpolation code with vectorized calculations for processing multiple samples simultaneously.
Voice Processing Enhancements
  • Modified voice processing to work in batches.
  • Added memory prefetching to improve CPU cache efficiency.
  • Applied compiler optimization directives for performance-critical functions.
Expanded Offline Rendering Options
  • Added more granular offline bounce quality settings including:
    • "Same as Realtime" (default)
    • "Fast Quality" (4x Oversample)
    • "High Quality" (4x Oversample with SINC 32)
    • "Mastering Quality" (SINC 512)
Bug Fixes
  • MTS-ESP critical issue has been resolved and is now functioning properly.
  • Added the VST3 path to the Load Instrument VST host sampling path.
