VIBE Changelog:

October 29 2026 - v1.0.0
- Initial Release
- Two-channel micro-looper: a Wet Channel of real-time spatial effects and an always-listening Micro-Looper. The two channels feed each other
- Wet Channel with three modes: Reverb, from a multi-tap echo cluster to a smeared haze; Delay, a clean looping delay that holds its repeats at max feedback; and Slip, an auto-sampler that replays your playing up to an octave higher, forward or in reverse
- FREEZE: hold the Wet footswitch and the current sound repeats forever, as an ambient pad, a looping echo or a repeating tone
- Micro-Looper with no record button: it always holds the last few moments you played. Click to loop them, hold to overdub with no limit
- Three looper modes: Env (the loop stutters while you play), Tape (speeds and directions in octaves, 0.5x to 4x) and Stretch (time-stretching through slices, down to a frozen stall)
- CLOCK sets the sample rate of the whole unit, from 2k to 64k in eleven harmonized steps. Turn it down and everything slows, darkens and drops in pitch together, all the way to gritty, aliased textures, with loops up to 33.6 s
- ROUTING sends the loop through the Wet Channel, and loops recorded while you play through the Reverb keep its ambience
- SPREAD turns every mode into its own stereo effect: ping-pong delay, scattered reverb taps, forward/reverse tape and more. MISO for stereo from a mono source
- Tap tempo or host tempo sync: TIME and LENGTH step through note values, with per-channel clock divisions from 1/32 to 1/1, and a hidden SYNC that locks the channels to each other
- Ramping sweeps up to five knobs in five waveforms, from 60 s down to 0.2 s per sweep, or drive them with the EXPRESSION control
- Sixteen DIP switches (ramping, expression, SPREAD, TRAILS, LATCH, NO DUB, SMOOTH and more), saved with each preset
- CLASSIC mode: the rougher sound and response of the first-generation unit, with degrading loops, ringy reverb and rubbery delay
- Nine hidden options behind the knobs: stereo width, tone, loop fade, level balance, loop length and more
- Synth mode: play MIDI notes and CLOCK follows in semitones, with pitch bend, vibrato, portamento and an ADSR envelope. Freeze a sound or catch a loop and play it as a melody
- 100 presets in 10 banks, with 60 factory presets, plus the Left / Live / Right slots on the preset lever
- Front and top views, hover any control to see its exact value
- Mono or stereo input
- MIDI control (VST3 only): the full factory CC map, MIDI Learn on every control and Program Change
- User manual (PDF) included with the plugin
- 64-bit VST3 (Windows & macOS) and AUv2 (macOS), native Apple Silicon
