PocketDAW v0.4.41 — Re-Pitcher Synth + Sample Source APIs

We are excited to release v0.4.41, featuring the powerful new Re-Pitcher synth and expanded SDK capabilities for sample-driven instruments.

New: Re-Pitcher Synth

A new synth that lets you pitch any of PocketDAWs 16 sample slots chromatically from the piano roll.

Features:

• Browse and select from project-loaded samples (Sample Edit recordings, ReCorder takes)
• Real-time waveform preview of selected sample source
• 8-voice polyphony with ADSR envelope
• Formant preservation (5-band resonant filter bank)
• Root note control and loop mode
• Red-themed UI with animated mascot
• Host-driven sample source picker menu

Use Case: Load a vocal sample, loop it, and pitch it in real-time from the piano roll without creating multiple copies.

SDK v4.5 — Sample Slot Metadata APIs

Plugins can now query which samples are loaded in the host and use them as sound sources.

New callbacks:

• get_sample_slot_info() — query slot metadata (loaded state, frame count, sample rate, channels)
• get_sample_slot_name() — get display name of a sample slot
• pdsynth_host_sample_changed() — callback when host sample sources change

New struct:

• PdSampleSlotInfo — slot metadata payload

This enables synths like Re-Pitcher to browse host samples and let users select sources without leaving the plugin.

Stability Improvements (v4.5.1 carryover)

• Denormal protection (FTZ+DAZ) in all audio callbacks
• Monitor path clock jitter fix (holds last sample vs zero-fill)
• Plugin buffer cap increased: 2048 to 8192 stereo frames
• ReQ and Tape Delay audio sync improvements
• ReCorder parameter count fix
