conversantsoundworks.comField guide

Every RigSuite release, newest first. Each entry links to the full notes for that version. RigSuite is one download: the version number covers both apps, the RigSculpt VST plug-in and the RigSculpt Workshop desktop app (named RigScope before 0.95).

All releases

RigSuite 0.97

Latest

This is the release where Reverie's FREEZE becomes a finished instrument: four voices (Vapor, Vesper, Vault, Waver), SWELL and STACK, an AFTERGLOW section on the AFTERECHO pedal, and a complete footswitch vocabulary. The NAM library gains solo and hide, a pinned reference band, sharper "more like this" answers, any-alphabet file names and a scan cache that opens big libraries at once. On Windows the RigSculpt VST can run its amp models on the graphics card, and the Workshop analyzes a whole library on the card by default, a day's work in under an hour, with identical results. With the card on, the oversampling slider reaches 16x and 32x. The guided tour grows to 22 cards.

RigSuite 0.96

The performance round. Stereo Multi-Core runs a stereo rig's two amp models on two CPU cores, and Phase Lanes splits a single oversampled model across up to eight, ending the last live-monitoring stutter at the highest settings. The neural engine itself gets a fast A2 kernel and AVX (roughly twice the speed, so Windows now asks for a 2011-or-later processor), the oversampling slider is labeled with the true rendering rate, and offline renders reach 32x. Every library learned to be browsed: the CAB page, the pedal browser, a first real reverb browser, and a preset menu that can rename, duplicate, delete, and start from a blank slate. The Reverie freeze grows a BODY control that holds a frozen chord for minutes, and its MIDI switch learned to layer: a tap while frozen melts the held drone into a new capture of what you are playing.

RigSuite 0.95

The live-performance and browsing round, and the release where the desktop analyzer becomes RigSculpt Workshop. RigSculpt gains a NAM drive mode that loads a captured pedal as a fourth DRIVE voice, an Output EQ rebuilt so the sliders land where you set them, a MIDI preset bank for calling up a sound by number on stage, low and high cut filters on the cab section, and twelve directional chips for steering the NAM library by measured character. On the Workshop side, pedals and full rigs get their own benches and honest, non-amp analysis.

RigSuite 0.94

A RigSculpt-only follow-up to the 0.93 stereo work. SYNERGIZE now pairs genuinely unlike amps, so a clean amp and a high-gain amp break up together; its controls move into the NAM Library Explorer (in the strip between the two amps) with a Settings switch to gel a pair automatically as you load; and turning it off returns your tone exactly. Amps also arrive at matched volume when loaded into a stereo pair, a 0.93 reload bug that could leave the second amp empty is fixed, and you can now browse the NAM library from the keyboard. RigScope is unchanged from 0.93.

RigSuite 0.93

The first RigSuite release for macOS (RigScope on Apple Silicon, RigSculpt on Intel and Apple Silicon in VST3 and AU). On both platforms: your settings stay put across presets, the NAM library becomes the NAM Library Explorer with one-click auditioning and its own tools row, and stereo rigs level and phase-match themselves as you browse. RigScope gets a library-navigation and housekeeping pass: sharper amp sub-categories, honest library statistics, a one-click Clear library, and files that stay current for RigSculpt.

RigSuite 0.92

The IN tab and true stereo input, full MIDI control, and the guided RigScope-to-RigSculpt handoff. The round that turned the library work into a real workflow between the two apps.
