V0.7.0.5 Now Live

Release Notes - V.0.7.0.5



Import free folder navigation:

Located in the audio import menu. You now can import your WAV files from your local drives.

Group delete links:

To erase all links between a selection of nodes, select a group of nodes, and pull the trigger on any one of the links between the selected nodes with your mallet in Erase mode.

Drag Editing:

[previewyoutube="QpSOaADRTPs;full"]Drag editing is an additional way to edit parameters on nodes, import nodes, start nodes, links, xFader bubbles (bpm), and drum pads. To enter drag editing mode, pull the trigger with the mallet head inside one of the parameter icons. Hold the trigger, and drag up or down to adjust parameter values.

Undo/Redo:

[previewyoutube="XbE0sgCJyPM;full"]To access the undo/redo functionality, bring the head of the one mallet to the red record dot on the hilt of the other controller. In addition to the record button, there are two new buttons - a back arrow (undo), and a forward arrow (redo). To undo or redo and action, place the mallet head in the appropriate button, and pull the trigger.

Beta Release Notes - V.0.7.0.5

  • Minor bug fixes
  • Implemented analytics*

  • We collect usage data (analytics) for the sole purpose of improving LyraVR. If you would like to opt out, however, we provide a link to do so in the Main Menu. Go to Settings/Privacy tab to adjust your privacy settings.

Beta Release Notes - V.0.7.0.4

  • Free folder navigation in audio import menu
  • Group delete links*
  • Drag editing**
  • Undo/Redo***

* To erase all links between a selection of nodes, select a group of nodes, and pull the trigger on any one of the links between the selected nodes with your mallet in Erase mode.
** Drag editing is an additional way to edit parameters on nodes, import nodes, start nodes, links, xFader bubbles (bpm), and drum pads. To enter drag editing mode, pull the trigger with the mallet head inside one of the parameter icons. Hold the trigger, and drag up or down to adjust parameter values.
*** To access the undo/redo functionality, bring the head of the one mallet to the red record dot on the hilt of the other controller. In addition to the record button, there are two new buttons - a back arrow (undo), and a forward arrow (redo). To undo or redo and action, place the mallet head in the appropriate button, and pull the trigger. The following actions are currently supported: MOVE - nodes, import nodes, start nodes, main menu, all controller instruments and cameras. ERASE - nodes, import nodes, start nodes (individually and when erased as a grouped selection), and all controller instruments.

Known Issues:

  • Since the undo/redo functionality currently only supports move and erase, some unintended outcomes are possible when deleting links between nodes, creating new links and then undoing the delete action.
  • We are aware of a bug where one of the mallets can become unresponsive (can’t interact with nodes). We’d appreciate any help in identifying steps to consistently reproduce this issue.

Release Notes - V.0.6.7.2

  • better support for Windows Mixed Reality (improved controller positioning)
  • Oculus Rift support is working again

Release Notes - V.0.6.6.5

  • removed analytics in preparation for EU General Data Protection Regulation rollout

Release Notes - V.0.6.6.4

  • note labels*
  • bugfix: songs with links going in both directions between the same note pair would not open since we disallowed this in the last update
  • minor performance optimization (object pooling on progress links)


* We've added the option to display the note name of the node's current pitch. Colors associated with the note names are slightly adapted from the Scriabin color wheel. Find the options for displaying note labels in the settings menu under the general tab. The options are off, always on, or on trigger (ie. when the node is struck or triggered by a link).

Release Notes - V.0.6.5.4

  • shortcut interactions (quick actions)*
  • bugfix: volume information not copied correctly when using the clone tool
  • localization: improved German translation

Quick Actions (gif)
* Quick actions aim to remove some friction from the creation process by providing faster methods for some of the most often used editing functions. When using quick actions, there is no need to change a mallet's tool mode - instead, quick actions work when both mallets are in move mode.

  • clone: while holding a node with one mallet, bring the other mallet to the node and pull the trigger to create a clone of the original node
  • adjust pitch: when grabbing two nodes that are not linked together with each of the controllers, a pitch icon appears above the node that was grabbed first. Adjust the pitch on the node that was grabbed second by touching it to the pitch icon
  • link: when grabbing two nodes that are not linked together with each of the controllers, arrows will appear pointing from the node that was grabbed first to the node that was grabbed second. Touch the nodes together to create a link between them with the link direction as indicated by the arrows
  • adjust link duration (a): grab two nodes that are connected by a link, one with each controller. Link adjust icons will appear and the link will be highlighted. Move the nodes further apart to increase the link duration, and move them closer together to decrease the link duration
  • adjust link duration (b): place the heads of both mallets in an existing link and pull the triggers on both controllers. Link adjust icons will appear and the link will be highlighted. Move the controllers further apart to increase the link duration, and move them closer together to decrease the link duration
