Preset Mutator Pro

Preset Mutator Pro Changelog

A concise public record of improvements and fixes for the local-first tool that creates 32 synth preset variants per run.

  1. Current release

    v0.6.0

    Component locks, directed variation, safer imports, and more reliable offline use.

    • Added oscillator, envelope, filter, and effect locks to Scratch, Preset, and Audio generation in Pro.
    • Added Stay close, Explore, and Reimagine directions, with consistent generated baselines and source-preserving imported-preset locks.
    • Connected native Serum 2 delay and reverb modules to generated space settings and allowed bounded mix variations on supported active effects.
    • Rendered imported metadata and generated names as text to prevent HTML injection.
    • Corrected native Vital mutation ranges and made zero-percent mutation preserve source settings.
    • Connected Low, Mid, and High register selections to Vital, Serum 2, and Pigments exports.
    • Rejected silent audio, improved pitch detection after leading silence, and preserved opposite-phase stereo content.
    • Isolated offline caches and included the curated Vital templates and ZIP library for offline export.
    • Added up to 30 days of offline access after successful online license verification, with existing signed tokens still supported.

  2. v0.5.2

    More reliable activation across Scratch, Preset, and Audio.

    • Kept saved keys after temporary connection failures or Gumroad service errors.
    • Added a ten-second verification timeout and clear connection-error messages.
    • Initialized the interface without waiting for activation. Pro generation still requires a verified license.

  3. v0.5.1

    Optional usage tracking now respects analytics consent across Scratch, Preset, and Audio.

    • Discarded events made before consent and stopped tracking when consent is withdrawn.
    • Refreshed the app cache to deliver the consent-aware tracking code.

  4. v0.5.0

    Added Arturia Pigments beta across all three Pro workflows.

    • Scratch and Audio now generate 32 importable Pigments .pgtx banks with full ZIP-pack export.
    • Preset mode accepts a Pigments .pgtx bank and creates 32 bounded mutations across eight directional groups.
    • Embedded Pigments resources are preserved byte-for-byte through generation and mutation.
    • Existing Pro activation and license-key compatibility remain unchanged.

  5. v0.4.11

    Added a Wide character direction for broader stereo presets.

    • Added Wide to the Scratch character controls.
    • Connected the direction to the generated width profile and its stereo, unison, and chorus decisions.
    • Added regression coverage to verify that Wide produces a broader profile.

  6. v0.4.10

    Added Serum 2 beta and aligned the complete Pro interface with Preset Mutator Free.

    • Added Serum 2 generation and export to Scratch, Preset, and Audio workflows.
    • Added the current Free interface hierarchy, synth targeting, character controls, and focused refinement panels.
    • Kept Pro activation, curated Vital templates, 32-variant generation, and ZIP export intact.
    • Expanded automated checks to cover Serum 2 parsing, generation, mutation, and binary round trips.

  7. v0.4.9

    Renamed the paid edition to Preset Mutator Pro.

    • Standardized the Pro name across Scratch, Preset, Audio, activation, metadata, and upgrade links.
    • Kept the existing Pro URL, licensing, generation, and ZIP export behavior unchanged.

  8. v0.4.8

    Made the wider browser-tool line easier to reach from every Pro workflow.

    • Added a direct All tools path to Scratch, Mutate Preset, and Audio to Preset.
    • Kept the verified 32-variant workflow focused while making related tools and release information easier to discover.

  9. v0.4.7

    Expanded the generation engine so repeated runs produce more distinct, balanced Vital preset packs.

    • Matched curated Velvet Ruins structures to the requested sound profile before pack generation.
    • Balanced every Scratch and Audio pack across four oscillator, texture, macro, and modulation topologies.
    • Added deterministic near-duplicate retries for Scratch, Audio, and Preset packs.
    • Added family-specific output, effect, and delay-feedback limits for more reliable Vital playback.

  10. v0.4.4

    Corrected generated-preset exports so the selected direction is heard more faithfully in Vital.

    • Cleared inherited LFO and macro modulation routes from the family seeds.
    • Disabled unused seed oscillators, samples, filters, and side effects before export.
    • Kept the 32-variant Pro workflow focused on the selected direction.

  11. v0.4.3

    Added a clearer public release record for the Pro tool.

    • Added a dedicated changelog linked from every Preset Mutator Pro workflow.
    • Made the changelog available offline alongside the rest of the app shell.
    • Added QA coverage to prevent the version history link from disappearing.

  12. v0.4.2

    Unified the Pro experience across Scratch, Preset, and Audio modes.

    • Aligned the activation flow and key states across all three workflows.
    • Improved the source-ready states so the workspace remains focused before a file or direction is loaded.
    • Removed preview-sound controls so generated results stay clearly focused on exported Vital presets.

  13. v0.4.1

    Established the paid Vital pack workflow.

    • Added 32-variant packs from Scratch, Preset, and Audio starting points.
    • Added local ZIP export for complete preset packs.
    • Kept access verification in the browser with signed purchase tokens.

  14. v0.4.0

    Refined the Pro workflow around larger, usable preset batches.

    • Standardized the three starting modes for a more predictable generation flow.
    • Added a focused activation panel before the main workspace.
    • Strengthened browser-based QA for 32-pack generation and exports.
