Filament Changelog

Public release notes for Filament updates. Entries marked in development describe work that is not yet available in a published installer.

1.1.3

In development

MIDI ports, clip export, and stability fixes

Adds managed MIDI output ports on macOS and Windows, improves output-row routing, and brings focused fixes for MIDI clip export, chordify, scrolling, WebView startup, and diagnostics.

New

  • Managed Filament Out MIDI ports are available on macOS and Windows through the Filament MIDI Port Manager helper.
  • Output rows can now target external MIDI destinations with channel selection from channels 1-16.

Improved

  • Output rows now use a clearer plugin-or-MIDI-output model, so a row targets either a hosted plugin or a MIDI output.
  • Mixer and preset-browser rows now show cleaner horizontal scroll controls, with compact labels in narrow mixer slots.
  • The bundled WebView now opens with the dark theme by default.

Fixed

  • MIDI clip drag/drop now preserves controller events as well as notes.
  • Compound dyad chordify now handles wider intervals more accurately.
  • WebView startup now avoids stale cached chunks and duplicate state-sync delivery.
  • Routine license/beta diagnostics and repeated startup retries now create less telemetry noise.
  • Diagnostic reports now include better native and loaded-instrument context for support investigations.

Known Issues

  • DAWs differ in how they expose plugin MIDI output and virtual MIDI inputs. Use the Filament Out helper ports when the host MIDI output path is not visible in your DAW routing.

1.1.1

Released

First post-launch maintenance update

The first post-launch maintenance release for Filament, focused on reported bugs, articulation-map import, and release polish.

New

  • Import Cubase Expression Maps and Logic Articulation Settings into Filament articulation map presets.

Improved

  • Factory Sound Setups now use a safer unloaded setup path for release builds.
  • Hosted-plugin restore diagnostics now capture clearer crash and editor lifecycle context.

Fixed

  • The first voice in a high-priority setup now sounds correctly.
  • Presets appear correctly in the VST3 build.
  • Replacing a missing hosted plugin clears the previous missing-plugin state correctly.
  • MuseScore Bridge paste uses a macOS-safe job folder for MuseScore 4.7.3.
  • Fixed an FL Studio audio issue caused by very small variable host buffer sizes.
  • High-priority chord split routing no longer drops notes in upper split positions.
  • Keyswitch state is restored more reliably when loading setups.
  • MIDI output destinations stay scoped to the correct channel.

Known Issues

  • Some crash reports connected with HALion 7, SINE Player, and rare Kontakt 8 hosted-plugin cases are still being investigated.

1.1.0
