v1.1.0-beta — What's new ▾
  • Standalone, AU and VST3 now all show the same interface you see on this page — night-blue panel, Drive/Tone/Mix, DRY|GRIT compare
  • Correct Tone display in your DAW: −1 to +1, centred at 0 (the previous VST3 showed 0 to 1 with generic controls)
  • Chord and Drums demo sounds built in — audition GRIT without loading a track; PLAY is automatable and saves with your session
  • Hard-clip nonlinearity with 1st-order ADAA — tames aliasing versus a naive clipper, at zero latency (single-rate)
  • Universal build — Apple Silicon and Intel
  • Note: sessions saved with 1.0.0-beta reopen with GRIT at default settings

Requirements

  • macOS 13 Ventura or later
  • Apple Silicon + Intel (universal) — Windows coming later
  • ✅ Standalone app (GRIT.app) — full interface, Chord / Drums demo sounds
  • ✅ AU (Audio Unit v3) — GarageBand, Logic Pro, REAPER, Ableton Live
