Bliss Sampler 3.2 released
We're excited to announce the release of Bliss 3.2, featuring comprehensive performance optimizations with FMA instructions, advanced filter architecture improvements, and a new Effects Preset System for streamlined workflow.
Performance Enhancements
- Comprehensive Fused Multiply-Add (FMA) optimizations across the entire audio processing chain providing a performance boost on modern CPUs.
- Completely rewritten interpolator with platform-specific optimizations: AVX2+FMA for modern x86 processors, Apple Silicon NEON with native FMA instructions.
- Zero Delay Feedback + Topology-Preserving Transform (ZDF+TPT) filter architecture with Newton-Raphson nonlinear solver for authentic analog modeling behavior.
- +6dB improved signal-to-noise ratio, 21% lower total harmonic distortion, and 3x better filter stability at extreme settings.
Audio Quality Improvements
- Enhanced virtual analog modeling with topology-preserving transforms that maintain original analog circuit behavior and improved saturation characteristics.
- FMA-optimized reverb algorithms with multi-tap processing enhancements and cleaner reverb tails with reduced CPU overhead.
- Improved biquad filter operations and enhanced chorus/delay effects using fused multiply-add instructions for maximum precision.
- Seamless parameter changes with smart coefficient smoothing eliminating filter jumps during automation and note retriggering.
User Interface Enhancements
- Comprehensive Effects Preset System: Click effect section labels (Reverb, Chorus, Delay) to access curated preset collections with intelligent categorization.
- Reverb presets include Hall sizes, Rooms, Plates, Springs, and Cathedral with auto-enable functionality for streamlined workflow.
- Chorus presets feature Classic, Wide, Vintage Analog, and Modern Digital variations with optimized parameter combinations.
- Delay presets offer tempo-synced and free-running options including ping-pong variations and filtered delay effects.
- New Wander LFO type providing organic, evolving modulation with smooth random amplitude variations for natural, non-repetitive movement.
This update is free for existing 3.x customers and available now in AAX, AU, VST2, VST3, and standalone formats for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Visit our Bliss product page for download information and complete documentation.
