• New FILTER / BODY ADV panel with Filter Lag, Ladder mode, Key Track, Vowel Amount, and Vowel Morph.
• New vowel-style filtering for expressive pads, brass, synth-choir colors, and moving textures.
• Expanded modulation destinations: PWM, X-Mod, Body, Vowel Amount, Vowel Morph, and Bloom Time.
• LFO 1 and LFO 2 now offer 1SHOT, KEY, HOST, and FREE modes.
• New dedicated LFO depth ADSR envelopes for shaped modulation movement.
• Four assignable bipolar Macro controls, each with MIDI CC learn and pickup/direct behavior.

• New Global Octave control for compact MIDI keyboards.
• Bloom now has Free / Sync timing, harmonic delay character, and WIDE chorus character.

Windows version is ported  and compiled but before I can  release it, 

I am running in some issues with idle load on the cpu .   As soon as I fix that to deliver an acceptable cpu > sound quality  balance

I will release it.   On my I9 it runs okay but 50% is too much.      Keep an eye on this spot
