Bliss Sampler 2.9.2 released
Bliss 2.9.2 is out now, featuring MTS-ESP microtuning support, a powerful new Key Mapper view, expanded SFZ compatibility, and major improvements to the Sample Editor with enhanced UI/UX design and performance optimizations.
What's new
- Audio Engine Improvements
- Replaced Lagrange interpolation with B-Spline interpolation, offering better audio quality and frequency response.
- Corrected pitch shifting with 2x/4x engine speeds by compensating for oversampling factor.
- SIMD Optimization for Interpolation
- Added parallel processing for voice interpolation using architecture-specific SIMD instructions (SSE/AVX for x86, NEON for ARM).
- Implemented prefetching to improve cache usage and reduce memory latency.
- Optimized the sinc interpolation code with vectorized calculations for processing multiple samples simultaneously.
- Voice Processing Enhancements
- Modified voice processing to work in batches.
- Added memory prefetching to improve CPU cache efficiency.
- Applied compiler optimization directives for performance-critical functions.
- Expanded Offline Rendering Options
- Added more granular offline bounce quality settings including:
- "Same as Realtime" (default)
- "Fast Quality" (4x Oversample)
- "High Quality" (4x Oversample with SINC 32)
- "Mastering Quality" (SINC 512)
- Bug Fixes
- MTS-ESP critical issue has been resolved and is now functioning properly.
- Added the VST3 path to the Load Instrument VST host sampling path.
Bliss 2.9 is a free upgrade for all existing Bliss 2.x customers and is available as AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone versions for Windows, macOS, and Linux. More details and download information can be found at Bliss page.
