thanks for this words.iowastate89 wrote: Tue Jun 09, 2026 10:54 am I'd forgotten about this one but I'm glad to see you still expanding on it, lots of nice new features (just bought it)
Its important for me, i spent so much on gear and sw in my life - if i had those experience of "care", i was always happy with my purchase. I do not want to join the slop wave honestly.
So as long as i have good ideas for it i will try realize them

Hi,
was actually testing on Linux and noticed some annoying bad UI Performance when morphing between presets. @ThomasHelzle can you confirm this?
Found a bottleneck and think i have fixed the UI rendering logic. The plugin now pre-caches all visual elements and only repaints the exact pixels that actually change. What was cool on Win, not so cool on Linux and macOS i guess.
I'm currently compiling the updated versions and will upload the new builds shortly.

Is there a way of syncing the loop start to DAW start. I'm trying to record a 1 bar loop from a DAW sequence but I can't get the start to line up.
Is there a way of quantizing the record to a musical division?

yes. more ways to get there. you can feed the synced (sync on, quantisation on 1bar fe) looper and retro grab the recording, think thats the most immediate one, because you see whats going on.kraster wrote: Wed Jun 10, 2026 8:53 pm Is there a way of syncing the loop start to DAW start.

Classical approach via Arming and input treshold, set the knob in the upper right (TRS) to desired treshold amount, then once a little treshold is dialed in, you can 'arm' the looper track with click and it will record when treshold auf audio is reached (when audio is incoming..). The Record will be as long as you set the division of the quantizer (1/4 atm is min, think i should may expand this).

I will notarize this Versions soon, so you dont have the installation hustle
