Release Notes - Prism

Prism 1.3 - October 30, 2026

Prism 1.3 expands MIDI editing, improves waveform navigation, and delivers more reliable DAW integration in ARA and non-ARA modes.

  • Faster MIDI editing. Dedicated Smart, Split, and Delete tools, plus convenient toolbar access to quantize and join notes.
  • <screenshot of toolbar>
  • New note-shaping commands. Use Legato to connect notes, Fixed Length to standardize durations, and Chordify to align selected notes to a common start and end.
  • Easier selection and navigation. Shift-click a piano key to select notes at that pitch. Use Auto-Fit to bring the track’s MIDI note range into view, with improved trackpad zoom controls.
  • Improved waveform display. More detailed waveforms when zoomed in, with more efficient rendering and memory use for long audio clips.
  • Better DAW synchronization. Improved playhead tracking in REAPER and LUNA, plus fixes to tempo, time signatures, and bar-line alignment when capturing audio without ARA.
  • More reliable session recall. Fixes help preserve MIDI edits, audio and MIDI playback settings, layer visibility, and mixer settings when reopening projects.
  • Improved handling of quiet audio. Updated analysis preprocessing helps suppress silence and very low-level background noise.
  • Editing and stability fixes. Corrected note splitting with snap enabled, improved undo/redo selection behavior, and addressed potential crashes during analysis and project restoration.

 

Prism v1.2.01 - March 20, 2026

  • Added support for AAX plugin format for ARA in Pro Tools (requires version 2025.6 or later)
  • Compressed save data to reduce file size and speed up saving/loading
  • Renamed algorithm "ac piano" to "grand piano" to more clearly note that it is for high-end acoustic piano recordings (i.e. classical or jazz solo performance); other piano and keyboard audio are typically best served by using the "general" algorithm (doesn't hurt to try both).
  • Improved handling of split clips from the same audio source
  • Fixed a crash related to tempo maps
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking Save Midi/Drag Midi (tempo map related)
  • Fixed a potential conflict with onnxruntime with other installed plugins that prevented Prism from analyzing audio
  • Fixed potential issue with ARA version when a clip is split and moved
  • Fixed a Capture Audio issue with MixCraft and Multitrack Studio DAWs
  • Fixed potential (rare) crash when playing midi and adjusting Sensitivity knob
  • Fixed issue with panning Prism's midi when track is mono (note, you can't pan audio and midi in Prism if DAW track is mono)
  • Fixed issue in non-ara version when just silence is captured and midi notes could get created at end of each row
  • Allow mouse to edit/modify notes when note is small on screen
  • Removed setting a default midi program change message in generated midi
  • Windows uninstall now correctly uninstalls Prism plugin(s)
  • EULA: Clarified that we (Aurally Sound) are not responsible or limit how you use the results Prism creates (use them in your own creations but respect copyrights).

 

 

Prism v1.1.01 - February 4, 2026

This fixes an issue some users are experiencing related to the 21-day free Trial period expiring before the 21-days. 

 

Prism v1.1.0 - January 29, 2026

Non-ARA mode

Prism will now run in any DAW using VST3 and AU plugin formats (Pro Tools is coming) in either ARA mode or as a traditional effect plugin. Previously, we only supported ARA mode, but now, if ARA is not available, Prism can capture the audio and analyze it with the same accuracy as in ARA mode.

Algorithm Improvements

We've made minor improvements to very low bass note detection.

We also made the Sensitivity knob a little more sensitive at lower settings to show more notes if present.

Additional Tweaks 

A number of subtler improvements here and there.
