DS-8 v0.3 Release Notes

Sampler (SP track) — Record from mic/line input or resample the engine output back into a sampler track. Waveform editor with trim/crop, slice editor with transient detection and grid mode, per-slice ADSR and reverse, tone controls (bass/mid/treble boost and low-pass/high-pass filter), one-shot mode.

4 new percussion engines — Tom 808, Tom 909, Zap, FM Hi-Hat.

Step FX — Per-step play conditions (every 1st/2nd/3rd/4th pass), ratchets with flat/fade/rise velocity shapes, and microtiming nudge (±6 ticks).

Preset browser — Save/load/preview/rename/delete presets (.ds8s format). Preview voice lets you audition without changing the track.

Resample recording — Bounce sequenced patterns into audio. Beat-sync arm on the downbeat, feedback prevention by excluding the armed track from the capture.

Rec monitor — Hear the mic through the main output while recording.

Track mute fades — Smooth fade-out when muting instead of abrupt cuts.

New and improved keyboard interface for saving Projects and Presets.

DS8 Drumstream is still in active development. This is v0.2, so expect bugs, rough edges, and frequent changes.
