• 2026-09-18 · ME-TUEY v1.3.0

  First release off the measured re-fit tree · signed + notarized

  ME-TUEY 1.3.0 is the first build released from the post-v1.0.2 measured tree, and the first shipped signed and notarized by Apple. The decisive change is the sidechain pre-gain re-fit against the captured unit GR surface: at Peak Reduction 100 the optical cell now sees +35.8 dB of drive instead of v1.0.2's +20.5 dB. The old value under-drove the cell by roughly 15 dB — the hardware produces 25–33 dB of gain reduction there where v1.0.2 produced about 7. Expect materially more compression at high PR than v1.0.2 at the same knob position. Output polarity default is corrected to match the unit (measured across all six unit-vs-plugin cells), and the factory presets now carry that corrected polarity. The SAT insert is rebuilt on the dbx "stop level" control law after the v1 fader measured non-monotonic: fixed operating point, dB-linear 0→+25 dB drive, and per-band MATCH that holds output level to within 0.15 dB across the full drive sweep. Ships VST3, AU, CLAP and Standalone as a macOS Universal binary (arm64 + x86_64). Windows is not in this release and is roadmap-tracked with no date promised. Validated on the notarized package itself: pluginval strictness 10 SUCCESS, Apple AU validation SUCCEEDED, state save/restore bit-identical, bypass within 0.003 dB of unity, all 8 factory presets clean.

• 2026-05-09 · ME-TUEY v1.0.2 (beta)

  Najnudel two-state ODE photocell · production default

  Replaces v1.0.1's constant-slope+log1p photocell with a two-state Port-Hamiltonian carrier ODE (Najnudel et al., DAFx-23 paper 50). Schematic-correct R_series=68kΩ, R_light=1500Ω; max physical GR ≈33.3 dB matches the operator-measured 32.8 dB on the captured 2014 UA reissue. Behavioral fix: long-window crest direction now matches the unit (e.g. bass crest300 ascends — "body breathes up" between hits — instead of the v1.0.1 single-pole tail collapse). Also includes the OpticalDetector hold-latch fix from the v1.0.1 follow-up. Listen page (vocal / bass / guitar) re-rendered through v1.0.2; drums clips remain on the operator's matched-pair v1.0.0 render to preserve the ±1 dB pair-match invariant. Still v1.1 deferrals: vocal -4 dB QUIET asymmetry (V1B 1/gₘ output-impedance modulation) + HF harmonic content (V1B/V2B asymmetric grid-current clip + stock output transformer). macOS pkg live at /api/download/ME-TUEY/macos?channel=beta.

• 2026-05-08 · ME-TUEY v1.0.1 (beta)

  Architectural recalibration · feedback topology · book-grounded

  13-commit audit-driven rebuild of the DSP path. Adopts the LA-2A's actual feedback topology (post-GR sidechain tap with 1-sample delay safety) per Reiss / Self / UA service manual. Deletes the auto-makeup formula entirely (no auto-makeup exists in the unit), the stacked output gain, the COMP-mode SC PR-boost, and the cellEq HPF/low-shelf — every removal traced to a primary source. Adds log1p compression ceiling, 20ms attack-hold latch, lower 0.35 floor ratio. Asymmetry tightens 4.55→3.64 dB; vocal mean ΔRMS −3.80→−2.00. Loop-stability harness 8/8 PASS (Reiss/Self/Eichas step + sustained DC). Operator ear: drums + bass “massive improvement” on PR=25/75 and PR=50; vocal still the architectural soft area, Vocal-tuned input-cal preset is the documented workaround. Drums-PR=75 background-lift + bass-PR=75 ΔRMS deferred to v1.0.2 (Najnudel two-state ODE photocell). macOS pkg live at /api/download/ME-TUEY/macos?channel=beta.

  Boutique-tier voice locked · banned-words list extended

  ME-TUEY-BRAND.mdx §4 expanded with the marketing-claim guardrails. We do not say warmth, buttery, creamy, magic, mojo, or identical-to-hardware — every sensory adjective must trace to either a measurement or a specific physical artefact. Pricing communication tier locked: list price visible, early-bird disclosed, urgency stated as fact (slot count) not as scarcity language.
