## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.11.0 — 2026-09-01

What's new in this version:
• Fixed the Voice Range buttons. Tapping Soprano, Alto/Tenor, Low Male or Bass sometimes left the highlight on the old button

### 1.10.0 — 2026-08-30

What's new in this version:
• New STRENGTH knob: dial in how hard correction pulls toward the note. Lower it and scoops, slides and bends keep their shape; raise it for a hard lock. Starts at 50%.
• Formant now sits alongside Gate and Fine in the Input & Tune row
• Fewer octave jumps on bright vowels — octave decisions now require corroborating evidence before they take effect
• Wide melodic leaps commit faster, so big intervals no longer stall part-way through a phrase
• Note: sessions and presets saved in earlier versions open at the new 50% Strength. Set Strength to 100% for the previous always-full correction.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-08-29

What's new in this version:
• Fixed synthesis-period bug in overlap-add that caused level breathing on sustained notes
• Voice Range refined: set your register and AutoTune stays locked on with fewer false octave jumps
• Fixed Humanize buffer-size bug that could affect timing at certain host buffer settings
• Localization for French, German, Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese
• Mac support
• Tighter pitch tracking: fewer random octave or alien-pitch jumps during long sessions

### 1.8.0 — 2026-08-29

What's new in this version:
• Voice Range: select your register (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, or Bass) and it locks onto your voice, dramatically reducing octave errors. Auto keeps the full-range tracking.
• Fast runs and big jumps now track with much less lag, so even full-octave leaps snap to the new pitch quickly and accurately.
• More consistent tuning across hosts: pitch correction stays stable no matter which host app you use or how its audio buffer is configured.
• Fully localized: AutoTune is now available in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, and Chinese.

### 1.7.0 — 2026-08-14

What's new in this version:
• Knob readouts update live while you drag
