hey y'all! remember when i said you shouldn't expect to hear much about a VST3/CLAP port for a while?

i, uh. lied.

SFLT is now available for VST3/CLAP!

the Rust rewrite ended up making the porting process a LOT more doable than i anticipated, and after a couple weeks of work, you can now use the brand new SFLT v0.5 in any DAW you want!

if you're on FL Studio, the native FL version is still the best option due to its tight host integration. there are some differences between the versions -- those are mostly down to needing to re-implement things that FL itself provides for a native plugin, such as legato support.

i've done my best to make the VST3/CLAP version integrate nicely with as many hosts as possible; the plugin supports both MPE and Note Expression, meaning that some hosts will allow you to tune and pan notes individually! (not FL, though. grumble.)

this is obviously a huge shakeup to the internals that affects every part of the plugin - please let me know on Twitter or Bluesky if you encounter any issues!

Get SFLT v0.5

SFLT beta v0.5 patch notes

features/improvements

rewrote the entire plugin in Rust, with CLAP/VST3 support
new vector-based UI, with support for window scaling
added support for rendering CJK characters
SFLT now searches its library directory for missing SoundFonts when loading
removed vestigial "synth mode" dropdown
source code included under GPLv3 license

fixes

improved modulation envelope accuracy, fixing some messed-up patches
fixed lots of weirdness on FL Studio 12
just tons of little things

i'm really excited about this release -- it widens the plugin's potential audience massively, and gives me a much more solid foundation to build on! in the short term, i'll be going back to focusing on CHORDIOID for a while, but i'm also looking forward to getting this thing to a polished v1.0 release.

that's all for now! thanks for using SFLT <3
