What's New in Tresse Polyphonic Synthesizer

1.3.0

October 5, 2026

TRESSE 1.3.0 adds more flexible sequencing, faster editing and improved host integration. IMPORTANT FOR EXISTING USERS The FREE editing limits have changed: one editable oscillator layer, up to 16 steps and Euclidean sequencing. LFO 1, second-layer editing, Shimmer and MIDI Learn now require ADV or FULL. Existing preset and host-project settings are retained: locked features continue to play, but editing them requires the relevant pack. Manual MIDI CC assignment remains available in FREE. NEW AND IMPROVED - Independent JOIN/SPLIT sequencers with ADV and above. Splitting copies the original sequence and all its settings, including chords. - Up to 32 steps with ADV and 64 with PRO/FULL. - Ping Pong direction with ADV; Random Walk direction and timing options up to 16 bars with PRO/FULL. - Immediate sequencer edits, including during tied notes. Long-press PROB with TIE enabled to choose whether probability gaps sustain or cut notes. - PRO/FULL oscillator and sequence copy-paste between presets, with independent clipboards and selectable destinations. - Undo/Redo, double-tap knob reset and direct LFO/MOD linking from knob menus. - Independent FOLD and CRSH/DIST amounts, improved held-note sound editing and slower LFO destination scrolling. - Randomization respects pack limits and parameter locks. Synth randomization keeps FOLD at zero and CRSH/DIST at 15 or below. - Six FREE factory presets: Gold Air, Dawn Twine, Fern Loop, Gold Mesh, River Wave and Onyx Mesh. - New INIT patch and paused startup for fresh instances. - Host-following BPM in SLAVE, improved MIDI timing and a fix for the Drambo mapped-control crash. - Improved preset sharing, split-sequence recall and QR camera guidance. Preset loading preserves your sync mode.
