- Per-slot tuning — pitch adjustment up to ±6 semitones.
- Independent velocity curves — customize the dynamic response of each slot.
- Velocity-layer selection — enable or exclude individual layers.
- Velocity-based articulations — switch between articulations according to playing dynamics.
- Articulation editor — create, move and assign articulation zones directly on the waveform.
- Articulation recording — record changes with Replace and Overdub modes.
- Transient alignment — snap articulation boundaries to detected hits.
- Computer-keyboard control — switch articulations without an external MIDI controller.
- MIDI Capture — record detected hits and drag or export MIDI into your DAW.
- Realtime MIDI Out — trigger external instruments with configurable notes, channels and velocity.
- FOCUS — adjustable bleed rejection, independently or alongside LINK in STUDIO mode.
- Preset management — save, load and organize plug-in configurations.
- Locate Files — recover missing samples and restore their mappings.
- Contextual tooltips — practical guidance throughout the interface.
- Built-in feedback and update checks — contact support and check for new versions inside Retrig.
Improvements
- Expanded sample matrix — up to 12 velocity layers × 12 round robins per slot.
- Expanded DAW automation — automate articulation selection and additional controls.
- Improved LINK — more reliable instance handling and suppression during simultaneous hits.
- Extended sensitivity — detection threshold down to −60 dB.
- Refined LIVE mode — fixed approximately 4.2 ms plug-in latency, with bleed suppression reserved for STUDIO.
- Improved detection — refinements for quiet attacks, fast playing and onset timing.
- Updated scope — smoother scrolling, waveform zoom, input backdrop and clearer hit markers.
0.9.5 beta
Activation is synchronized across all open plug-in instances, so activating one instance automatically activates the others.
Licensing
- Activation is synchronized across all open plug-in instances, so activating one instance automatically activates the others.
- Temporary activation conflicts between open instances no longer interrupt a valid license.
- Resetting a trial and then activating a permanent license preserves project settings, the sample matrix and all sample paths.
- Project state restoration no longer depends on server availability; audio playback remains controlled by the license state.
Project state and missing samples
- Projects created in Retrig 0.9.4 remain compatible with this version.
- Missing files remain in their original cells: a 9 x 5 matrix stays 9 x 5, preserving positions, paths, parameters and metadata.
- Missing cells are shown in red with a question mark and can be relinked by double-clicking without changing their matrix position.
- Missing references survive save and reopen, and automatic matrix rebuilding is blocked while unresolved samples remain.
Gain meters
- Input and Output meters show peaks from -60 to +12 dBFS and highlight overload above 0 dBFS in red.
- Added 36 rectangular 2 dB segments with progressive outline-to-fill animation and a green-to-yellow-to-orange-to-red scale.
- Meter response has been refined; peak hold remains for 10 seconds and then falls smoothly.
- Peak-hold color matches the reached segment, Output measures the actual post-gain signal, and knob/meter spacing has been refined.
0.9.4 beta
Added Input gain control for setting the incoming trigger level before detection.
Input and live workflow
- Added Input gain control for setting the incoming trigger level before detection.
- Added LIVE/STUDIO modes for low-latency live playing or more conservative studio triggering.
- Updated the default Max Suppression value to 24 dB for a more practical starting point.
Meters and UI
- Adjusted meter positioning and active knob scale outlines for clearer visual feedback.
- Updated the manual with the new Input gain and LIVE/STUDIO workflows.
0.9.3 beta
Loaded samples and matrix state now persist after reopening a DAW project.
Matrix and clamp
- Loaded samples and matrix state now persist after reopening a DAW project.
- Clamp now limits the velocity range, while sample selection happens inside the clamp range.
- Manual matrix moves are handled correctly: if a sample is moved to a new column, clamp and indicators use that column.
Slots and playback
- Clamp settings are now independent for each of the 4 slots.
- Playing-cell indication now follows the active slot, so audio and highlighting match.
- Slot buttons show empty, filled, active and muted states.
- Double-clicking a slot button mutes that slot; muted slots do not play or preview from cell clicks/drags, and their matrix cells are visually dimmed.
Browser and mapping UX
- Disabled cells are easier to distinguish from both active and empty cells.
- Folder rows now include a reserved star area before the arrow; hover and direct star hover states make Favorites clearer.
- Clicking the star adds or removes a folder from Favorites without opening the folder.
- Favorite folders appear in PLACES, with an add/remove current folder toggle.
- Long folder names are truncated with reserved room for the star and arrow.
- Favorite folders are available across DAW projects.
- For tag-based matrices, V and R buttons are disabled because tags control the layout instead of auto-priority.
0.9.2 beta
BIN now validates whether added samples can fit the active matrix before accepting them.
Sample Browser and BIN
- BIN now validates whether added samples can fit the active matrix before accepting them.
- Loading BIN into the matrix now replaces the current matrix cleanly instead of merging with stale cells.
- Samples in BIN are sorted predictably by velocity and round-robin tags in the filename.
Matrix validation
- Added stricter checks for velocity tags above V12, round-robin tags above RR5 and duplicate V/RR targets.
- Auto-mapping now reports clearer errors for duplicate targets, full BIN capacity and too many round robins in one velocity layer.
- Sample loading order is deterministic, so rebuilding the matrix from BIN gives more repeatable results.
UX and builds
- Sample Browser close control is now a compact icon button.
- macOS builds are prepared as universal packages for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.
- Retrig MP Trigger version metadata is updated to 0.9.2.
0.9.1 beta
Improved no-tag sample auto-mapping for libraries without filename metadata.
Sample Auto-Mapping
- Improved no-tag sample auto-mapping for libraries without filename metadata.
- Samples are analyzed by audio level and distributed into velocity columns and round-robin rows more predictably.
- Mixed tagged and untagged sets now use one consistent audio-analysis strategy when not every file has usable velocity tags.
Sample Matrix UX
- The matrix is now a fixed 12 velocity columns x 5 round-robin rows layout with no hidden overflow layers.
- Added AUTO and MANUAL modes, with velocity-first and round-robin-first priorities in AUTO.
- MANUAL mode supports moving cells, swapping, Cmd/Ctrl drag copy, double-click disable and Option/Alt clear.
- Added 4 independent matrix slots/layers that can play together as layered samples.
- Tooltips now show filename, velocity, RR, mapping source, peak, RMS, sample rate, length and path.
AUTO TRIM and AUTO PHASE
- Added AUTO TRIM toggle: leading silence is detected at load time, mapping uses post-onset loudness and playback starts from the detected onset.
- AUTO TRIM is reversible and rebuilds the matrix from original files without destructive audio edits.
- Added AUTO PHASE analysis per sample layer. Existing PHASE remains the master invert on top of auto phase.
- Auto phase is enabled by default for user samples and no longer needs a visible UI toggle.
State, performance and validation
- AUTO TRIM and AUTO PHASE states are saved and restored with plugin state.
- Trim and phase preparation takes place during sample loading or matrix rebuilding rather than during playback.
