Hi,
I'm happy to announce Texturium 1.01, a focused update that improves voice-leading stability, fixes a UI layout regression introduced at install, and polishes a number of controls throughout the interface.
Now you can load instrument directly into the Texturium software. Standalone and vst.
The workflow follow ever the previous path with port and bus, but you can launch the program, load instrument and play instantly.
Below is a full list of what changed.

WHAT'S NEW IN 1.01
------------------
** Inner & Outer Voice Delay sliders **
Two new sliders are now visible directly on the main page (bottom-left area):
- Outer Voice Delay (0-200 ms, default 25 ms)
Controls hysteresis for the soprano and bass voices (outer voices).
Keep this low for a crisp, responsive high/low register.
- Inner Voice Delay (0-200 ms, default 50 ms)
Controls hysteresis for the alto and tenor voices (inner voices).
Raise this to 80-120 ms if you hear inner voices flickering or
jumping on fast chord changes.
Previously these parameters were only accessible deep in the MIDI Settings
panel and had no visual slider. Now they are always at hand on the main editor.
** UI layout fix after install **
A regression introduced in 1.0.0 caused several controls (INT, EXT, VST HOST
buttons and the two voice sliders) to render in the wrong position immediately
after a fresh install. All 13 built-in templates (Concert Hall, Crystal,
Cyberpunk, Dark Minimal, Default, Industrial, Reference, Rome, Sci-Fi,
SteamPunk, User, Vector Clean, Vintage) have been updated with the correct
coordinates. The controls now appear exactly where they should on first launch.
** INT / EXT / VST HOST button repositioning **
The three host-mode buttons have been moved to a cleaner position in the top-
right area of the interface (previously they overlapped other controls):
- INT -- enable Internal VST hosting (Texturium loads plugins inside itself)
- EXT -- enable External hosting (your DAW handles the instruments)
- VST HOST -- open the Internal VST Host window
More on what these mean and how to use them in the Quick Start below.
** Tooltip language cleanup **
All tooltip texts are now strictly in English and use only ASCII characters.
The previous build had a mix of Italian strings and special Unicode dashes
that caused display glitches in some hosts on Windows.
** Version label **
The version label throughout the interface and in the Credits dialog now
correctly reads "v1.01".
** macOS CI **
The GitHub Actions build pipeline now targets the correct product name on
macOS. The installer package version is aligned to 1.0.1 across all platforms.

QUICK START — FROM ZERO TO SOUND IN UNDER 5 MINUTES (INT MODE)
---------------------------------------------------------------
INT mode is the fastest way to get Texturium playing: you load your VST3
instruments directly inside Texturium, no extra DAW routing needed.
Here is the full setup from scratch:
Step 1 — Load Texturium
Open your DAW and add Texturium on any MIDI or instrument track.
Step 2 — Add tracks
Click "+ Track" 3-4 times to create your instrument slots
(e.g. Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Cello).
Step 3 — Open the Internal VST Host
Click the "VST HOST" button (top-right area of the interface).
The Internal VST Host window opens.
Step 4 — Scan your plugins
Click "Scan" inside the VST Host window. Texturium will index all VST3
plugins found in your standard VST3 folders. This only takes a few seconds.
Step 5 — Load an instrument per track
For each track slot in the VST Host window, click "Load" and pick a VST3
instrument from the list (strings, piano, synth — anything you have installed).
Click "Open GUI" to configure the instrument if needed.
Step 6 — Enable INT mode
Back on the main page, click the "INT" button (top-right).
It lights up to confirm Internal mode is active.
Texturium now sends MIDI directly to each loaded instrument internally
and mixes their audio to the plugin output — no loopMIDI, no virtual ports,
no extra DAW routing required.
Step 7 — Set your key and scale
Set Root Note = C and Scale = Major (top-right of the main editor).
Step 8 — Draw clips and play
Use the Draw tool to create a clip on each track, then play a chord on
your MIDI keyboard. Texturium splits the chord across the instrument slots
following soprano / alto / tenor / bass registers and you hear them all
immediately through your DAW output.
That is it. Total setup time: under 5 minutes.
-- What is the difference between INT and EXT? --
INT (Internal mode)
Instruments live inside Texturium. You load them via the VST Host window.
Texturium handles MIDI routing and audio mixing internally.
Best for self-contained projects or when you want everything in one plugin.
EXT (External mode)
Texturium sends MIDI out to your DAW on separate channels or virtual ports
(e.g. loopMIDI on Windows, IAC Bus on macOS). Your DAW instruments receive
the MIDI on those ports/channels and produce the audio themselves.
Best when you already have a large template set up in the DAW with specific
routing, reverb busses, or articulation logic.
For most users starting fresh, INT is the recommended choice.
