v1.0.0 — 2026-11-11

• Initial release
• Vinyl record character for any track: the physical flaws of a record, from a clean pressing to a beat-up thrift-store find
• DUST: surface noise that never loops — light ticks, then crackle and pops, then hiss; a scratch that comes back once per revolution on badly damaged records
• WARP: pitch drift — flutter, then wow, then a warped record
• WEAR: worn playback — duller top end, mono low end, rumble, and groove distortion near the top of the knob
• SPEED 33 / 45 / 78: sets how fast the wobble and the scratches repeat; 78 adds the narrow sound and louder surface of a shellac disc
• SOLO: hear only the dust layer, to check it or bounce it to its own track
• RUNOUT: keep the crackle playing when the track goes silent, like the runout groove
• Output level matched automatically as WEAR and SPEED change, so MIX comparisons are fair
• 24 factory presets, plus your own (save, rename, delete)
• macOS: VST3 and AU — Intel & Apple Silicon. Windows: VST3
