SOUNDINDX RELEASE NOTES

All Files covers everything, adaptive click protectionLatest

• All Files now really means all: project folders and Soundstacks are part of the library view — searchable, sortable, and included in Duplicates. A Soundstack row opens the stack.
• Click protection adapts to your audio interface: the transport fade now scales with the device buffer size, so stop, playhead jumps and handle moves stay click-free on interfaces with large buffers — verified at sample level with a 2048-frame buffer.
• Fixed: selecting Duplicates in the sidebar could not be cleared by clicking All Files directly.

Loop Match handles, menu bar drag & click-free transport

• Drag export from the menu bar: the export card lives in the macOS menu bar too — drag the current result into any app, even when SOUNDINDX isn't frontmost (QLab in fullscreen, for instance). The card's logo pulses with the playing audio.
• Loop Match refined: pressing Loop Match switches Loop on by itself; the seam draws only inside the selection; the seam's moving edge carries a blue handle and a second handle waits at the opposite end for switching sides directly. Blue resize cursor over the handles.
• Click-free transport: stop, playhead jumps and handle moves now fade instead of clicking — verified at sample level with a new measurement harness. Click protection: Transport is now 0–200 ms (default 128 ms).
• Keep tools active across tracks (Settings): Loop, Loop Match, Reverse and Vamp stay on while browsing sounds.
• FX tail is now its own toolbar switch (top right) — independent of the export card, which can be hidden when the menu bar card does the job. The menu bar card's right-click menu can toggle it too.
• Fixed: a hidden Loop Match state could survive a track change and process "plain" loops invisibly; a race between plugin buffer reset and the audio thread could crash with third-party effects on track change.

Security hardening

• The app's embedded browser view is now locked to bundled content only.
• License file permissions tightened on disk.
• Internal cleanup after a full code review.

Soundstack tools & polish round

• Soundstack: per-block mute, solo, gain and pan, track names and colors, snap, arrow-key nudge, Fit view and a timecode readout.
• Type to jump in the sound list — start typing a name, the list follows. Tool shortcuts moved to shift-combinations (see the cheat sheet).
• Shift-click range selection with bulk delete; new Duplicates view with ⧉ badges on duplicate rows.
• Always-visible draggable scrollbar; stronger export card with the FX tail toggle inside it; exports named "Sound — loop.wav".
• Retuned Light theme; smoother seeking while playing (no more clicks).

Loop Match, both directions

• Loop Match can now borrow seam material from either side: drag the blue handle right to borrow from after the selection. Clip length stays exact to the sample.
• Arming Loop Match sets a sensible seam automatically — adjustable "Match seam" percentage in Settings. On a whole track the loop starts from the very first sample.
• Column filters, multi-select, Get Info level readouts, crash recovery and a refreshed bilingual guide.

Purchase & licensing

• Buy button in the app and full license flow: activate, validate and deactivate seats (3 Macs per license) with clear English messaging.
• Deactivating a seat now frees it immediately — no restart needed.
• Checkout via Lemon Squeezy with VAT handled at purchase.

Key Match & finishing round

• Key Match: detect the key of what's playing — through the microphone, system audio (macOS 14.2+) or a reference file — and pitch the loaded sound to fit.
• Full macOS menu bar, About window, Open Recent, window position memory, keyboard shortcut cheat sheet (see Help menu).
• Clearer error messages for missing folders, unreadable files and misbehaving Audio Unit plugins.
• Split View performance fix — large comparison panels no longer stutter.
• Refreshed startup screen; tooltips show live keyboard shortcuts.

First public build

• Library browsing and instant search over local sound folders.
• Waveform editor: trim, selections, loops (Loop Match, Mirror Loop), fades and volume automation.
• Soundstack multitrack layering with per-track curves and bounce.
• Audio Unit FX chain, pitch shift, EQ and gain with offline render on export.
• Drag-out export to QLab, DAWs and Finder; projects and sessions.
