That’s great! I’m looking forward to the update. Will you also be looking at the MIDI check box issue where it doesn’t appear for some MIDI effects? This issue applies to AUv3 as well as some AUv2 and VST3 plugins.

Yeah I fixed that too, as best as I can tell. I just never thought to enable the midi checkbox on effect plugins!Calum wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2026 6:26 amThat’s great! I’m looking forward to the update.

Thanks, this is working for me now!tweakbench wrote: Mon Jul 06, 2026 5:13 am - Linux release builds now run in an Ubuntu 22.04 container, lowering the runtime floor to glibc 2.35 / ALSA 1.2.6 (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 37+); binaries statically link libstdc++/libgcc and the build verifies the glibc floor with objdump.

Beta 6 is now live - https://www.tweakbench.com/noemi
Changelog:
- Complete visual redesign: a flat, minimal look with one consistent design language across every editor and panel. Nodes are neutral surfaces with a colored type stripe, the canvas has a cleaner dot grid, and ports are solid signal-colored dots with bigger hit targets.
- Dark, Light, and High Contrast themes now apply everywhere - every editor, dialog, meter, and scope - including live switching. (Midnight has been retired and maps to Dark.)
- Every instrument and effect editor shares one control language: consistent knobs with captions, tooltips on every control, and double-click to reset any knob to its default.
- Sample editors (Waveform, Slicer, Granular) reorganized their toolbars into logical clusters, and every cryptic button (YT, !!!, 1/8...) explains itself with a tooltip.
- Mastering chain: cleaner flat tabs plus live value readouts while dragging EQ bands, thresholds, and crossovers, with gesture hints on every scope.
- Envelope (ADSR) editors: handles now track your pointer exactly - no more runaway values near the edges - and keep a consistent width on wide panels.
- New canvas zoom control: click the zoom readout for 50-200% presets and Zoom to Fit; clearer grouped toolbar and modernized transport bar.
- Fixed AUv3 Audio Units being silently skipped by the plugin scanner since beta 3 (macOS).
- Step sequencers / arpeggiators that report themselves as effects now offer the "Use as MIDI Effect" checkbox.
- Linux: Noemi no longer overwrites the desktop's X11 resource database or forces 150% scaling on QHD monitors; an explicitly chosen UI scale always wins.
- Windows: fixed plugin UIs clipped to the top-left corner in DAWs at >100% display scaling.
- Fixed hosted instruments coming back silent and third-party patches being lost when reopening a project saved inside a DAW (VST3/AU/CLAP).
- Fixed many crashes when editing while playing: connecting or deleting nodes, editing notes, drum hits, or generator scales, switching states, recalling scenes, and undo.
- Fixed a hard audio lock-up when playing a note into a Slicer, and samples playing sharp/fast on interfaces at a different sample rate.
- Fixed the tempo drifting to its limit when modulated, plugins being permanently blacklisted after a one-off scan timeout, and a plugin's saved state being deleted when it could not be matched on reload.
- Hardened saving: a failed save now warns and cancels instead of silently discarding work; corrupt project files no longer crash the app.
- Modulation randomness (Random and LFO Sample & Hold) is now reproducible from the project seed.
- Fixed several memory leaks and use-after-free issues around plugin windows, the modulation matrix, and project teardown.

It's looking like Noemi will debut at somewhere around $50. Would love to hear from people who have tested it to see where that price lands? I know it's a pretty niche DAW approach, but I think it has something really unique to offer people who are tired of working on normal grids and arrangers.
