Changelog

Current v1.02 April 22, 2026

Sidechain quality-of-life and the Delta listen mode.

New
  • +Per-band Delta listen — solo just the dynamic motion of any band, so you can hear exactly what Torn is moving on the source.
  • +Sidechain HP/LP filters now have resonance control with a calibrated Q sweep from 0.5 to 6.0.
  • +Spectrum freeze — hold a reference curve while you A/B against a different source.
Improved
  • ~Transient detector latency reduced from 1.1 ms to 0.6 ms at 48 kHz.
  • ~Spectrum analyzer redrawn at 60 fps on retina displays — previously 30 fps fallback at high band counts.
  • ~Preset browser opens 3× faster on libraries above 200 entries.
Fixed
  • Pro Tools AAX: rare crash on session reload when Torn instances exceeded 32 in a single session.
  • Logic Pro: parameter automation no longer drops the first 0.5 ms after a region boundary.
  • Windows: installer now correctly registers VST3 paths on systems where %COMMONPROGRAMFILES% is redirected.
  • UI: text rendering on 125% / 150% Windows scaling no longer clips band labels.
Stable v1.01 March 04, 2026

Apple Silicon, AAX certification, and the Air band.

New
  • +Native Apple Silicon build (M1, M2, M3, M4). Around 40% lower CPU than the Rosetta build on the same hardware.
  • +AAX DSP and AAX Native — Pro Tools 2022.7+ certified.
  • +Sixth band — Air — with a dedicated high-shelf curve up to 22 kHz, designed to sit cleanly above an existing High band.
  • +Mid/Side processing mode on every band.
Improved
  • ~Phase-linear mode reworked to halve latency at oversample 4×.
  • ~Default attack and release ranges tightened to musical values; the old ranges remain available via the engineer-mode toggle.
Fixed
  • Cubase 12: occasional automation-write hang when toggling Bypass during transport.
  • Studio One 6: preset save dialog no longer blocks audio thread.
  • Activation: improved error messages when the license server is unreachable.
