Roadmap

Throughline is moving toward a stable v1 plugin for real DAW sessions. This roadmap shows what is active now, what is likely next, what is further out, and what has shipped. Items may move as plugin compatibility testing changes release confidence.

Now

Active work focused on making Throughline credible as a v1 plugin.

Stable VST3 and Audio Unit builds
Plugin Stability
Make current Throughline builds installable and usable in the initial plugin formats: VST3 and Audio Unit.
DAW compatibility passes
Plugin Stability
Test Logic Pro, Ableton Live, and Reaper through install, open, audio or MIDI playback, session save and reopen, and patch recall.
Reliable patch save/load
Workflow
Make customer patches survive sessions and updates predictably, so work created in Throughline can be reopened with confidence.
Initial V1 Factory Set
Sound & Patching
Ship a small release-blocking set of inspectable factory patches covering mono synth, layered pad, ambient drone, sequenced bassline, tape delay, crossfading layers, and plucked resonator workflows. MIDI-controlled effect-track patches remain gated on audio-input validation.
Early-access release flow
Access & Releases
Make it clear for early-access supporters to find builds, read release notes, and understand what changed between releases.

Next

Committed follow-on work once the active stability spine is in place.

Expanded factory patch library
Sound & Patching
Add more useful starting points after the initial V1 Factory Set, including broader FX, MIDI-driven, and experimental workflows once their runtime and host-validation paths are reliable.
Deeper modulation workflows
Sound & Patching
Improve expressive routing and modulation utilities while keeping the v1 sound promise focused.
Sequencing and MIDI workflow improvements
Sound & Patching
Improve rhythmic and MIDI-driven patch creation inside Throughline.
Editor workflow polish
Workflow
Make graph editing faster, clearer, and less error-prone as patches become more complex.

Later

Longer-range expansion areas that are not near-term commitments.

Sampling and audio-file workflows
Sound & Patching
Explore ways to bring recorded audio into Throughline patches.
Granular, polyrhythmic, and experimental synthesis
Sound & Patching
Explore granular instruments, polyrhythmic modulation systems, and other identity pieces beyond the release-blocking V1 Factory Set.
MPE and expressive performance
Sound & Patching
Explore deeper performance control for expressive controllers and MPE-capable workflows.
Community patch sharing
Workflow
Explore ways for customers to discover, exchange, and learn from patches after the core product is stable.
Additional plugin formats and DAWs
Plugin Stability
Consider additional formats and hosts, including CLAP, AAX, Bitwig, Studio One, Cubase, and FL Studio, after the v1 plugin scope is stable.
