SoundLord Changelog
Everything that shipped, newest first. SoundLord updates itself, so you get all of this automatically.
Version 1.0.36latest
- New background: Shape Waves — a grid of squares, circles and triangles drifting with a slow noise field
- Move the mouse and ripples run through the grid, lighting it up in your theme colour
- Built to stay light: it drops to 30 fps while nothing moves and runs the ripples only while there are any
- That makes 10 animated backgrounds — pick it in Settings → Appearance (triangle icon)
- Turning off "Use Board Sounds" in the mixer now silences the board as well — before, the sounds kept playing while nothing was recorded
Version 1.0.35
- Front page polish on soundlord.app: the new crest at its proper size and the 24 theme colours as one strip
- Nothing changed inside the app itself — this build is identical to 1.0.34
Version 1.0.34
- New feedback button in the account tab — the paper plane takes off when you send
- After three days of use SoundLord asks once for a review, with a permanent “don’t ask again”
- soundlord.app is now available in German, with a flag switch in the header
- New on the site: a changelog page with every release, plus three new guides
Version 1.0.33
- The harp no longer leaves a high note ringing in the background after every click
Version 1.0.32
- Ten more instruments, picked for making beats: harp, clavinet, clean guitar, xylophone, shamisen, upright bass, alto sax, synth voice, a Reese bass and a trap pluck
- 45 instruments in total — the grid grew two rows
Version 1.0.31
- Piano tab: the instrument list no longer covers the octave box and the instrument settings
- Changing an instrument setting no longer kills the keyboard until you click somewhere else
Version 1.0.30
- Five new instruments: Ocarina, Kalimba, Rock Guitar, Pizzicato and the Hyper Lead supersaw
- Every instrument now has its own settings — volume, fade-in, release, hold, tuning, pan, filters and reverb, saved per instrument
- Octaves 0, 7 and 8 are gone: down there the samples were stretched so far they stopped sounding like the instrument
Version 1.0.29
- Dropdowns no longer jump when you hit a board key — in the Templates tab that quietly changed which profile a clone went to
- Typing in a text field no longer plays the sound bound to that letter
Version 1.0.28
- Sound and Actions now toggle with Ctrl+Shift+1 and Ctrl+Shift+2 — plain Ctrl+1 also fired while you switched browser tabs or Discord servers and silenced the board
- Same for the profile shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+3 / +4)
- Do not want Shift? Click it off per shortcut in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts
Version 1.0.27
- Two-factor login is hidden again until it is switched on server-side — it was showing a switch that could not work yet
Version 1.0.26
- Cutting a sound no longer eats the first split second of it
- The cut now lands exactly where the preview said it would
Version 1.0.25
- Two-factor login with an authenticator app — optional, in Settings
- Templates: the dropdowns show an arrow again, so they look like dropdowns
- Template cards: description and action panel keep their spacing
Version 1.0.24
- Templates: the action switch now sits centred in the header row
- Template cards: the empty strip under the Download row is gone
Version 1.0.23
- Show your password while typing — and type it twice when registering
- Info tab no longer blinds you in dark mode
- Window buttons finally match the height of the title bar
- Templates: one switch in the header decides whether clones bring the action keys
- Clone and Download got a cleaner look that stays the same in every theme
Version 1.0.22
- New: 808 Dark — a heavier, grittier 808 with more body and less click
- New: Summen — a real hummed human voice, deep and holding as long as you press
- Sitar fades out right away now and no longer overdrives the master
- Marimba and E-Guitar made way for the two new ones
Version 1.0.21
- Two new bass instruments replace Synth Lead and the Funk guitar: 808 Bass with a real pitch dive, and Brumm-Bass with a growling filter
- Brumm-Bass holds as long as you hold the key — seamlessly looped, no click
- 808 Bass keeps its weight on laptop speakers, not just on a subwoofer
Version 1.0.20
- Cloning a template now lays useful action keys around its sounds — panic, ducking, volume, pitch, media. The bolt next to Clone turns them off
- Enter always stops everything, Shift ducks while held, Alt sets the volume — on any keyboard size
- Boards with an F-row get 12 more: four pitch presets, roulette, DJ mode, mic forwarding, media keys
- A freshly cloned board starts silent and disarmed — Ctrl+1 / Ctrl+2 arm it when you are ready
- Piano instruments re-extracted; Rock Guitar replaced by Funk Guitar
Version 1.0.19
- Cutting the end of a sound finally applies — the removed tail is gone for good
- A cut now writes a new file instead of editing in place, so nothing can play the old version
Version 1.0.18
- A key holding both a sound and "kill all sounds" now clears the room, then plays
- Typing a name no longer fires the board — no stray sounds, no profile switching mid-word
- Renaming a profile can no longer trap you in an empty field
- These update notes are readable again instead of showing raw HTML tags
Version 1.0.17
- Imported sounds keep their intro — the auto-trim now only removes true silence
- New: Stop & Go play mode — press to pause, press to continue, hold to rewind
- Save a key as its own sound, so two keys stop sharing one name and one cut
- The cut editor closes when the cut is done, and the waveform updates with it
- A cut sound now really plays cut — no more leftovers from before the edit
Version 1.0.16
- Stopping a sound no longer clicks — and still stops instantly
- Mixer clips fade out properly instead of being cut mid-waveform
- Leaving the mixer tab during playback is silent now, not a pop
- Sounds forwarded to your mic cut off cleanly on the Discord side too
- Panic key followed by an instant retrigger no longer kills the new sound
Version 1.0.15
- Fixed a crash that could freeze the key visualizers after a DJ stop
- Piano takes now survive "Save as Sound" — long recordings were cut to one second
- Solo and Mute finally reach the piano and mic lanes too
- Muting a lane is one undo step again, not one per clip
- Quick-add works with sounds longer than the project
- "Open folder" keys no longer risk taking the app down with them
- Guided tour starts at the beginning instead of dropping you into the middle
Version 1.0.14
- Mic latency cut hard — forwarding took a detour through two needless buffers
- New noise gate: silences fan and keyboard while you are not talking, with zero added delay
- Set the gate by eye — a live level bar shows where your voice sits
- The VB-CABLE guide now covers the Discord side, including how to keep Krisp off for good
Version 1.0.13
- Sounds reach Discord again — a second "CABLE Input" endpoint could silently swallow them
- No more screeching feedback: forwarding now refuses to read from the cable it writes to
- New "Clean up microphone": kills background noise on your voice only, so Discord's Krisp can stay off
- SoundLord puts your speakers and mic back where they were after a cable install
- Step-by-step VB-CABLE guide in the settings — the two mistakes everyone makes, spelled out
- RGB theme no longer costs frames in the Board tab
Version 1.0.12

Version 1.0.11
- Maxed-out echo no longer rings on for a minute after Kill, mute or Ctrl+1
- Suggest your profile as a template — Pro users can now submit for review
- New RGB theme: the accent colour travels through the whole spectrum
- Arrow keys shift the octave in the Piano tab — held notes move along
- Cut & fade: preview with a playhead, plus a second marker to trim the ending
Version 1.0.10
- The master volume slider works again — and now changes what is already playing
- Key groups: one key can hold a sound plus several actions, listed on the key
- "Test BPM" in the sound settings: read the tempo of a loop over 5, 10 or 30 seconds
- Note editor: drag a box to select several notes, then move or copy them as a group

- Loop pitch: bend every lane live, arrangement stays untouched
