product is not quite a finished software product, and as such does not necessarily represent
the quality of the final release: features may be missing, and bugs may be present.
Architect is a modular MIDI toolkit and music production environment for macOS, Windows,
and Linux. Similar to the classic modular synths, you build patches from small modules that
work together to generate pieces impossible to conceive of using conventional compositional
techniques.
The most recent beta uploads will always be found here. As new beta builds become available, I will archive the older builds here so as anyone can downgrade if newer builds introduce show-stopping bugs.
The most recent copy of the quick-start guide (PDF) can be found here.
During the beta phase, Architect will be available at a discounted "early-bird" price, 25% off the standard price of £140 + VAT. You can purchase Architect directly from us here.
Happy Architecting (and Happy new year too.)

Architect beta 0.10.5 is now available to download for macOS, Windows, Linux 32-bit and Linux 64-bit.
This fix some regressions that were included in 0.10.4:
PLUGINS
- Fix crash that could occur when adding certain plug-ins.
- Fix crash that could occur when trying to add a plug-in that previously existed, but has either moved or been deleted.
- Fix deadlock when out-of-process plug-in scanner is halted by certain plug-ins locking up during scan.
MIXER
- Fix upgrade problem in 0.10.4 where tracks that output directly to the Master channel was neither load nor save this connection correctly. Any projects saved in 0.10.4 will need to manually have such tracks update in 0.10.5. Projects saved in 0.10.3 or below are not affected, and will load as expected in 0.10.5.

Architect beta 0.10.4 is now available to download for macOS, Windows, Linux 32-bit and Linux 64-bit.
This release fixes some bugs and usability issues with 0.10.3, including:
AUDIO CAPTURE
* Fix crash when capturing audio output from the mixer.
MIDI CAPTURE
* Set correct time information on MIDI files captured directly from a track's MIDI output.
* Newly captured MIDI files now base their unique name on their source (either the track name, of the name of the [write to MIDI pool] module.)
MIXER/PLUG-INS
* MIDI from the track input is now passed through to the track output only when no plug-ins on the track consume the MIDI events.
* Fix audio artifacts that could occur in certain complex routing configurations.
* Improved allocation of plug-ins between multiple cores to reduce overall CPU time.
* Certain plug-ins will now correctly choose stereo (over mono) input and output.
* Improved performance when one or more plug-ins require PDC (plug-in delay compensation.)
* Multicore scheduler will now leave more resources available for running Architect and plug-in UIs.
* Restricted range of [mixer parameter] module values to 0.0 -> 1.0, as values outside this range crashed some plug-ins.
* Various improvements to make out-of-process scanning more reliable in certain cases.

Architect beta 0.10.3 is now available to download for macOS, Windows, Linux 32-bit and Linux 64-bit.
- (new) Default values for module data inlets can be entered directly on the inlet, reducing the need for [data] modules for constant or default values, and hence generally simplifying and decluttering the graph for most patches.
- (new) Cables can now be manually routed by editing individual cable nodes. Cables that have been manually routed can be converted back to automatic cables with a shortcut or context menu option.
- (new) Multicore support. When enabled, the processing of plug-ins will be distributed across all available cores. This is enabled by default when running Architect as an application, but disabled by default when running as a plug-in (as it is assumed that the hosting application will have its own multicore scheduler.) Changing this setting in a plug-in will not affect the app, and vice-versa.
- (new) AU MIDI FX version of Architect.
- (new) Architect can now host AU MIDI FX plug-ins.
- (new) Note preview for edits made to mono note sequencer, poly note sequencer, and grid step sequencer. This is per module, and disabled by default. Preview can be toggled on via a button in the piano or grid roll, or with a custom keyboard shortcut.
- (fix: Windows) Using a MIDI device in the graph, as a controller mapping source, of as a sync clock source no longer stops the same MIDI device being used for any other reason.

- (new) Multiple cables can now be selected at once using clicks or the lasso tool.

- (fix) When changing the channel of a [CV to audio out] module, the previous channel will be reset to output 0.0 (as opposed to keep outputting the last value.)

- (improvement) Optimised [CV to audio out] module so that disconnect CV channel no longer consume any CPU resources.

- (fix: Windows) Plug-ins are now properly DPI aware.
- (fix: Windows) Plug-ins are now are of per-monitor DPI settings. Dragging plug-ins between windows with different DPI will rescale the plug-ins accordingly.
- (new: Windows) DPI awareness can be disabled per plug-in, and that plug-ins without DPI support will be shown at their expected sizes. This setting is shared by all instances of a specific plug-in.
- (improvement: macOS) Audio formats are preloaded when capturing audio, as previously this process could take a few seconds and cause the first part of the first audio recording made during a session to be truncated.

- (fix) UI lock-up that could occur when clicking a related spinner control after editing certain properties.

- (improvement) Sources in [MIDI Output] module are now categorised and sorted.
- (improvement) Empty MIDI files are discarded, rather than being written to the MIDI pool.
