■ New Features

• Added a feature to export selected tracks individually during audio file export.
• Added the Glue Tool. This allows you to join adjacent or multiple selected regions or notes into one.
• Added parameters to adjust vibrato “Depth” and “Rate”.
• Added a feature to switch the automation curve scale in the Dynamics track between “%” and “dB”. The shape of the displayed curve changes upon switching, but the actual output volume is not affected.
• Added a feature to notify the host DAW when changes are made in the plug-in version of Piapro Studio NT2. This is reflected in the unsaved warning when closing the project.
  ※For Ableton Live on macOS, this is supported in the VST version only.

■ Changes

• Reduced memory usage.
• Optimized the layout and items of the “Vibrato” tab in the Note Settings Panel due to the expansion of vibrato functions.
• Improved behavior so that clicking with the Eraser Tool can now delete selected written pitch lines.
• Changed the default setting at first launch so that the pitch line display in Note Edit Mode is set to “On”.

■ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a crash could occur when modifying tempo events sequentially from the end of the song towards the beginning.
• Fixed an issue in the macOS standalone version where using menus or shortcut keys would cause a crash when the editor was hidden (e.g., minimized).
• Fixed an issue where cancelling audio device settings changes did not work correctly.
• Fixed an issue where deleting automation events in a rest section using specific steps was not reflected in the actual playback sound, resulting in the parameters before deletion still being applied.
• Fixed an issue where a crash would occur when editing a phrase containing a note after an “empty move” (an operation resulting in no actual movement) was performed on that note.
• Fixed an issue where a crash would occur when changing a note connected by a consonant to a subsequent note to “Sil”.
• Fixed an issue where a crash would occur when performing operations such as reverting to normal lyrics after changing a note with manually applied vibrato to a consonant-only phoneme.
• Fixed other minor bugs.

*Due to updates introduced in version 1.0.2.0, when opening project files created with version 1.0.1.2 or earlier for the first time, a “conversion to the latest format” process will occur, which may take longer than usual. Thank you for your understanding.

■ Changes

• [Windows] Improved keyboard shortcuts to function correctly even when the IME is in “Full-width (Zenkaku)” input mode.
• Optimized background rendering processes to prioritize the current playback position when loading files or using the plug-in version.
• Removed “32 bit (int)” from the Audio Export settings, as this format is not supported.

■ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the application would rarely crash during Audio Export.
• Fixed an issue with saved .ppsf files where editing a phrase following a “cl” note could cause a crash.
• Fixed an issue where the application would crash during time signature manipulation after consecutively importing .vsqx files that contain different time signature changes.
• Fixed an issue where manual vibrato was not applied to specific notes when “n” (ん) lyrics occurred consecutively.
• [Windows] Fixed incorrect behavior when the Scroll Setting was set to “Ableton Live type”.
• [macOS] Fixed incorrect behavior when the Scroll Setting was set to “Bitwig Studio type”.
• Fixed an issue where sample sounds might not play depending on the Master Tempo settings.
• Fixed an issue where deleting a track would not take effect while the Piano Roll was open.
• Fixed other minor issues.

■ New Features

• Added support for importing VOCALOID5 / 6 project files (.vpr).

■ Changes

• Organized the items related to VOCALOID3 / 4 data import within “Preferences…” to match current specifications.
• Moved the “Max interval for notes to connect automatically” setting to the “Preferences… > NT Engine > Basic” tab.
• Changed specifications so that disabled notes are excluded from input when entering lyrics sequentially.
• In the waveform display track at the bottom of the piano roll, adjusted and widened the mouse-hit area for changing consonant length to make it easier to grab.

■ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Vocal Morphing would be automatically disabled after loading a .ppsf file if the current voice library version differed from the version used when the .ppsf file was saved.
• Fixed an issue in the plug-in version where playback from a midway point in the host application caused rendering errors if the host’s tempo setting differed from Piapro Studio’s tempo setting.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a .ppsf file including notes that did not belong to any region.
• Fixed an issue in the VOCALOID3 / 4 data import settings where Velocity conversion was not functioning correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the Master Meter information display was not updated after importing files such as MIDI.
• Fixed an issue when exporting MIDI files where the Master Meter value was not correctly reflected in the time signature information at the beginning of the song if the song contained time signature changes.
• Fixed other minor bugs.

*During this automatic update, once the Piapro Studio NT2 update is complete, a follow-up re-update process for the voice library will begin. Please follow the on-screen instructions to update the library accordingly.

■ Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the software would freeze if switching to another voice library during the loading of a voice library.
• Fixed an issue where changes to the Vocal Morphing value during playback were not reflected in the sound of unrendered sections.
• Fixed an issue where, when background rendering was turned OFF, changes to Vocal Morphing values were not reflected in the playback audio.
• Fixed an issue where consonant length display and editing behavior became incorrect in files containing tempo changes.
• Fixed other minor bugs.

• Implemented the “Vocal Morphing” feature — a parameter that enables intermediate expressions by selecting different libraries within the same singer.
