Version 0.3-a

I just uploaded the binaries for version v0.3-a, which improves DSP performance and implements UI scaling.

Usual Disclaimer

Still is in development and may have bugs and sound glitches.

However, if you encounter bugs, especially if they prevent you from using Still at all, please report them. You can use the forum threads linked at the bottom of the front page.

New Preset

There is a new built in preset "Drone - C G and D". It does not quite follow the keys and gravitates towards these three notes.

DSP Performance

Still now uses polynomial approximations for sine waves, key-to-frequency, and volume-to-amplitude.

They are faster to compute, while being quite conservative; patches should sound the same.

There will be a difference when comparing signals sample-by-sample, since rounding errors in frequency calculation are different.

UI Scaling

Plugin UI now respects the scale requested by the DAW. Normally, DAWs request the scale  specified in the display settings (in Windows 11, "Start - Settings - System - Display"), but they may have their own settings.

Supported scales are: 100%, 112.5%, 125% (what v0.2-a looked like), 150%, 175%, and 200%. Other values are rounded to one of these.

User can force the scale to one of these values; there's a new "Gear" button in the UI, clicking it brings up a settings dialog. For now, this setting is stored per plugin instance.

Misc Improvements

• Preset view has a button to open the preset folder in explorer.
• Preset view has a button to return to the synth view (you can still click preset name to return to the synth view).
• Buttons in popup dialogs are reordered. The OK/Yes button is now always on the right.
