RenderWave 1.5.2 is Live
Latest v1.5.2 · June 2026
New visuals, rebuilt audio analysis, a reloaded FX rack, MIDI mapping with APC40 mkII feedback, and 8K custom output.
New Visuals
- Expanded shader catalog with new GPU compute kernels across the mainstage rotation.
- Smoother parameter response across rate-driven shaders: speed, rotation, twist, and scroll now accumulate on the CPU for stable motion at any tempo.
- Slider ranges and defaults retuned across the catalog so every knob lands in a usable visual range from the start.
Rebuilt Audio Analysis
- Audio parameter classification reworked so bass, mid, and treble routing lands on the right controls per shader.
- Multi-band reactivity tuned to track real club mixes instead of spiking on transients.
- Per-parameter modulation depth, smoothing, and band selection all expose cleanly through the UI.
Reloaded FX Rack
- Effects panel rebuilt from the ground up. Every effect slot was re-tested end to end.
- 27 post-processing effects in the chain, each with predictable defaults and clear interaction order.
- Stack effects without parameter collisions or hidden state bleed between scenes.
MIDI Mapping & APC40 mkII Feedback
- MIDI Learn for any parameter, with persistent bindings stored per preset.
- APC40 mkII LED feedback: pad colors and ring values reflect live app state on the controller.
- Breathing animation on unassigned controller LEDs so the surface stays alive between mapped controls.
8K Custom Output
- Custom output resolutions up to 8K via MetalFX spatial upscaling.
- Syphon output rewired with a corrected HDR colorspace path for VDMX, MadMapper, and Resolume.
- UI rendering fixes for resolution scaling and text overlays at large output sizes.
Performance & Stability
- Hardened audio modulation tuned for live club mixes. Stable response in loud, bass-heavy rooms.
- HDR output colorspace corrected end-to-end on the post-processing surface.
