Bliss Sampler 3.2 released

[george]

We're excited to announce the release of Bliss 3.2, featuring comprehensive performance optimizations with FMA instructions, advanced filter architecture improvements, and a new Effects Preset System for streamlined workflow.



Performance Enhancements

• Comprehensive Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) optimizations across the entire audio processing chain providing a performance boost on modern CPUs.
• Completely rewritten interpolator with platform-specific optimizations: AVX2+FMA for modern x86 processors, Apple Silicon NEON with native FMA instructions.
• Zero Delay Feedback + Topology-Preserving Transform (ZDF+TPT) filter architecture with Newton-Raphson nonlinear solver for authentic analog modeling behavior.
• +6dB improved signal-to-noise ratio, 21% lower total harmonic distortion, and 3× better filter stability at extreme settings.

Audio Quality Improvements

• Enhanced virtual analog modeling with topology-preserving transforms that maintain original analog circuit behavior and improved saturation characteristics.
• FMA-optimized reverb algorithms with multi-tap processing enhancements and cleaner reverb tails with reduced CPU overhead.
• Improved biquad filter operations and enhanced chorus/delay effects using fused multiply-add instructions for maximum precision.
• Seamless parameter changes with smart coefficient smoothing eliminating filter jumps during automation and note retriggering.

User Interface Enhancements

• Comprehensive Effects Preset System: Click effect section labels (Reverb, Chorus, Delay) to access curated preset collections with intelligent categorization.
• Reverb presets include Hall sizes, Rooms, Plates, Springs, and Cathedral with auto-enable functionality for streamlined workflow.
• Chorus presets feature Classic, Wide, Vintage Analog, and Modern Digital variations with optimized parameter combinations.
• Delay presets offer tempo-synced and free-running options including ping-pong variations and filtered delay effects.
• New Wander LFO type providing organic, evolving modulation with smooth random amplitude variations for natural, non-repetitive movement.

This update is free for existing 3.x customers and available now in AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Visit our Bliss product page for download information and complete documentation.

I used AI to remove the added AI techno-speak:

Sure! Here’s a simplified, layman’s version of the announcement:

⸻

Bliss 3.2 is here!
This update makes Bliss faster, sound better, and easier to use — all for free if you already own version 3.x.

Faster Performance
• We’ve fine-tuned how Bliss works under the hood, using new tech that makes it run more efficiently on modern computers.
• It now works especially well on both Windows PCs and Apple Silicon Macs.
• Filters have been upgraded to behave more like real analog gear, with better stability and less distortion even at extreme settings.

Better Sound Quality
• Bliss now sounds more natural and true to vintage analog gear.
• Reverbs are cleaner and smoother, while using less CPU power.
• Chorus and delay effects are more precise and sound richer.
• You can now adjust settings smoothly without glitches or “jumps” in the sound.

Smarter and Simpler Interface
• A brand-new Effects Preset System makes it easier to find the right sound fast.
• Click on Reverb, Chorus, or Delay labels to choose from a range of well-organized, ready-to-use presets.
• Reverb presets include realistic spaces like rooms, halls, plates, springs, and even cathedrals.
• Chorus presets give you everything from classic to modern sounds.
• Delay presets offer both tempo-synced and freestyle options, including ping-pong and filtered effects.
• There’s also a new “Wander” modulation mode that adds natural, evolving movement to your sound.
