Bliss for Mac

Version 3.7 introduces a classic Akai S1000-style time stretch effect, native Akai S1000/S3000 ISO disk image import, a redesigned interpolation engine, zoom controls for the keyboard mapping and sample editor, and several editor bug fixes.

What's New

• Classic Time Stretch Effect: S1000-style SOLA time stretch algorithm as a destructive editing tool in the Effects menu with CYCLIC and INTELL processing modes ported from HighLife. Five presets available: Half Speed (x0.5), Slow (x0.75), Jungle (x1.33), Fast (x1.5), and Double Speed (x2.0). Full undo support with proportional loop and cue point scaling.
• Akai S1000/S3000 ISO Disk Image Importer: Native import support for Akai S1000 and S3000 ISO disk images, opening access to vast libraries of classic hardware sampler content. Supports both standard ISO and BIN CD-ROM image formats. Automatic root note mapping and proper zone configuration from Akai program data with bank-level operations for multi-program disk handling.
• CUE Sheet Audio Importer: Load individual audio tracks from BIN/CUE CD images with automatic splitting into separate zones based on CUE sheet track markers.
• New Interpolation Engine: Replaced B-Spline and SINC 32 playback engines with a brand new SINC 128 interpolation algorithm for improved audio quality and efficiency. Replaced Oversampling engine with highest quality DSP and cleaner downsampling. Optimized SINC 512 bounce mode by skipping redundant 4x voice oversampling, reducing offline render times.
• Keyboard Mapping Zoom and Scroll: Zoom All, Zoom + and Zoom - controls for compressing and stretching the piano editor view with horizontal scrollbar for navigating zoomed views. Zoom and scroll state persists across sessions.
• Sample Editor Zoom Controls: Zoom All, Zoom Selection, Zoom + and Zoom - buttons on the sample editor tab bar. Zoom Selection available on the waveform tab, other zoom buttons available on both tabs.
• Zone List Play/Pause Controls: Play/pause buttons directly on zone list rows with hover interaction for quick auditioning. Auto-fit column width for improved zone list readability.
• View State Persistence: The active view (main GUI or sample editor) now restores correctly when the host reopens. The active editor tab persists across sessions.
• Keyboard Mapping Bug Fixes: Fixed zone high note edge drag jumping to next note on click, zone low note edge drag causing erratic jumping at note boundaries, active zone losing drag to inactive zone when sharing the same note boundary, and root note triangle growing disproportionately when zoomed in.
