One kind of credit

One balance for every AI action​

Text and texture credits are now one kind of credit. Textures, world texts, narration and Orchidea all spend from the same balance.

Plan credits reset every month. Credit packs come in three sizes, and the credits in a pack last 12 months from the day you buy it.

Instruments, effects and your own audio files

New instruments​

The Sampler in the Studio.

An Orbiter can now be played as an instrument: the Sampler plays sample libraries, Sheaf is a subtractive synth, and Granular plays an audio as grains.

Up to three instruments in one Orbiter​

Picking an instrument for a World.

A Notes Orbiter plays up to three instruments side by side, one per World. An instrument with nothing feeding it notes gets a Piano Roll.

Play with someone else

Rooms in the Playground​

Open a room in the Playground and pass its code to a friend, and you play together, with up to four Orbiters between you. If nobody's around, Quick play finds someone who is also looking.

Two people on one Orbiter​

Two people can play the same Orbiter at once. A control you are holding shows as yours to the other player, and the whole session stays in sync.

Sharing​

Editors can manage who collaborates on what they edit, and you can get a notification when someone shares something with you.

A new sound engine, and Plantasia Space is open source

A new sound engine​

Orbiters run on a new sound engine: stretch an audio without changing its pitch, play it backwards, or break it into grains. Each effect also shows in the scene.

Open source​

The code behind Plantasia Space is open, so you can see how the instruments you play are made.

Versions and autosave​

Your work saves as you go. Audios keep their versions, and editing something released starts a draft, so people keep hearing the released one until you release again.

Improvements
  • Orbiters Chat with the people in an Orbiter room
  • Orbiters Input and output levels, with meters

Worlds and clips play in the feed

Worlds and clips play in the feed​

A world or a clip in the feed plays right on its card, with nothing opening on top.

A home feed you choose​

Pick how the home feed is ordered: a blend, the newest first, what people are playing, or older work you may have missed.

A play queue​

Line up audios in the mini player and they keep playing while you move around the site.

Improvements
  • Audios Control playback from your lock screen
  • Entangled Worlds Clips appear on their world's page
  • Platform Delete a notification, or clear them all at once
