1.0

26 September 2026 Build 127

New

  • PRISM 1.0: Analyzer, Connect and External Overlay in one suite, with the free PRISM Monitor apps for iPad and Mac.
  • A rebuilt loudness catalogue: 27 delivery profiles in three groups — official standards, platforms and playback references — picked from a new Loudness Presets window.
  • Every loudness profile now shows what it measures, the rule it checks and the documents behind it, with a link to the official document when it is public.
  • Dialogue loudness (I-DLG) and dialogue percentage, alongside programme loudness, in Analyzer, Monitor and External Overlay.
  • A clearer QC badge with five verdicts: PASS, FAIL, VERIFY, REFERENCE and MEASURE.
  • ATSC A/85 long-form and short-form profiles, following the 2026 revision.

Changed

  • Menu and control size now applies to every settings window, in the plug-ins and in the Monitor apps.
  • Label and scale options now reach every module in Analyzer, External Overlay and Monitor.
  • PRISM Monitor for Mac and iPad offers the same module settings as the plug-in, including spectrogram resolution, scope speakers and markers, and meter zones.

0.9.92

24 September 2026

New

  • PRISM External Overlay joins Analyzer and Connect in the suite installer for AAX, VST3 and AU. Its 25 independent layers place PRISM instruments, timecode, clock, watermark and mask bands directly over the picture.
  • External Overlay includes seven factory starting points, from broadcast and immersive meter layouts to loudness, RTA, radars and a clean empty frame.

Fixed

  • Factory layouts remain portable and never expose or depend on a local image path.

Changed

  • The External Overlay module selector now uses amber for the layer being edited and green only for other layers that are switched on.

0.9.91

23 September 2026

New

  • PRISM External Overlay is now covered by the suite manual, including its 25 layers, shared video frame, presets, macOS Accessibility flow and licence boundary.
  • Connect accepts 5.0 and 7.0 buses, and its opt-in Flat SMPTE input order handles hosts that report a bed-first 7.1.4 stream.
  • RTA adds timed peak hold and fall plus an optional dominant-resonance readout.

Changed

  • Global title and label/scale sizes can be followed or overridden per module; Multi-Meter orientation can be independent from the main meter.

0.9.88

14 September 2026

New

  • Module settings in Analyzer and Monitor for Mac now open beside a live preview of the selected instrument.

Changed

  • The preview follows the selected source and returns the module to its existing layout position and size when you accept or cancel.
  • Meter Bridge uses the same settings presentation, while layout, preset and global-settings panels keep their existing design.

0.9.86

13 September 2026

New

  • Goniometer is a new stereo particle-cloud instrument with selectable Front, Rear, Downmix, Centre/LFE and Lt/Rt inputs, plus independent visual controls.
  • Goniometer can be placed, duplicated, routed and saved like any other Analyzer or Monitor module.

0.9.85

13 September 2026

Fixed

  • Meter settings, linked or independent Downmix and Meter Bridge settings, and FILM/SMPTE channel presentation now stay consistent across Analyzer and Monitor.

Changed

  • Loudness boxes and instrument settings are clearer and more consistent across Analyzer and Monitor.

0.9.78

11 September 2026

New

  • FULL HISTORY can hide the full-programme overview in LOUDNESS · TL, and HISTORY HEIGHT sets how much of the module it uses.

Changed

  • When the overview is hidden, the main timeline reclaims the space and the choice is kept in layouts and presets.

0.9.67

10 September 2026

New

  • BUS FORMAT lets you identify ambiguous 8-, 10- and 14-channel buses from Connect or a remote Monitor.

Fixed

  • PRISM Connect rooms can be discovered from sandboxed hosts such as Logic through the shared Kaizen helper.

0.9.63

9 September 2026

Fixed

  • The Audio Unit now tells the host which speaker each channel belongs to. Without that, PRISM had to guess the order from convention, and on a 7.1.4 bus the rear surrounds were drawn in the front height positions — reported from Sphere, and visible in Logic and Nuendo too. Pro Tools was never affected, because the AAX version asks for stem formats by name.

0.9.62

31 August 2026

Fixed

  • The PRISM module stays readable in a small tile. Its own outlines, speaker glyphs and glow were drawn at a fixed size, so they crowded the picture as the tile got smaller; they now scale with it.
  • Presets save properly.

0.9.61

30 August 2026

Fixed

  • A stem that goes quiet no longer drops out of Monitor on Mac and iPad. Its heartbeat depended on the host calling the plugin, so a silent stem could look like a stem that had gone away.

0.9.59

29 August 2026

New

  • A reference line on the RTA with its own level, on by default at −18 dB. Bands that go over it light up in the alert colour.
  • A playback line on the LOUDNESS · TL minimap that runs the whole programme, and a halo on the cursor of the large graph.

Fixed

  • The loudness target guide is always marked on the scale and always shows its value, wherever the grid steps happen to fall.

0.9.58

27 August 2026

New

  • Loudness modules can read in LU relative to your target.
  • One shared control for colour intensity across the modules.
  • The distribution panel in LOUDNESS · TL can be hidden.

Fixed

  • The SOURCE selector of a secondary module stays reachable and scrollable when its tile sits at the bottom of the screen.
  • Loudness history rebuilds itself if the first fill never arrives or arrives incomplete.

0.9.8
