Blockhead v0.46.4 alpha
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 12:40:46 +0000 UTCUpdate Notes
Update: When project files are saved the sample data is now always stored in 32-bit float wavpack format. The previous behavior was to store the samples with the same bit-depth as the existing sample header, in integer wavpack format, unless the sample data exceeds 0db in which case it was elevated to 32-bit floats. I honestly can't remember what corner case I was trying address with that behavior but changing it to always store 32-bit floats solves the weird project saving bug which is more important at the moment.
Bugfix: Sample data is not saved correctly to project files. I don't understand what the actual problem is here as it only happens in release builds, but the above change fixes things for now. This may be a WavPack bug.
Bugfix: [Linux] "Failed to open layout.json entry" when trying to save the project file.
Bugfix: "Playback from cursor position" shortcut (Tab) plays the hovered input buffer starting at the hovered chunk rather than the actual cursor position.
Bugfix: Block footer parameter controls are not immediately updated when traversing the history.

Hi, I’m new here. I’m having an issue where, when I try to switch the output from the speakers to earphones (MacBook Pro M2), it crashes. Also, my CLAP plugins show this message: “can’t resolve CLAP entry.” I’ve installed and uninstalled it twice, but I can’t fix it. Thanks.

Thanks for the crash report!

Hi there, I'm brand new to blockhead as of ~10 minutes ago, so I hope this is the right place to report issues. I am experiencing a crash when I click a clip in the input buffer. Here's a gist with the steps I took, and macos crash details: https://gist.github.com/patmaddox/c180b62b2c3cc38399c026950a6cfc6d

You can press B and then click and drag on a lane to create a new block region

Hey ! Little trouble on my side, i don't have any options to add effects, or tempo guide or anything on a lane, only add sample. Maybe i'm doing this wrong ? Mac M3 OS15.6.1

hello Can you send the crash report to colugomusic@gmail.com and I might be able to figure out what's happening
Colugo Music
i don't know but it could be that you have another daw already open which is using the audio device. some devices don't work well when multiple programs try to open audio streams at once

Hey. I'm on macOS 15.4.1 and it keeps crashing as soon as I load in a sample/audio file.

Hi, I just downloaded your latest build for Windows and I am experiencing a big issue, I tried several audio devices (ASIO, WASAPI) in the settings menu but I keep getting the message 'failed to open the stream'. I am on Windows 11, version 24H2. Basically there is no output and playing of the audio file possible. Is this a big bug or can it be that I am missing something?
