MURMUR 1.8.1 — Relic analog factory pack

Customer-ready build for Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/M3/M4/M2 Ultra), macOS 13+, Logic Pro.

This tag ships the Relic voice already on main (1.8.0) plus the first analog factory Relic pack compiled on Mini from UADx one-note keepers, and stages those assets into Application Support so GENERATE and factory Relic presets resolve.

Install

  1. Download MURMUR-1.8.1-macOS-arm64-full.dmg from GitHub Releases
  2. Double-click the pkg (no admin password — installs to your home folder)
  3. This Mini-cut build is ad-hoc signed. If Gatekeeper blocks it: right-click → Open → Open
  4. Quit Logic completely, reopen
  5. Settings → Plug-in Manager → Reset & Rescan Selection
  6. Software Instrument track → AU Instruments → Murmur → MURMUR

What's new since 1.8.0

  • Relic analog factory pack — 118 compiled .relic assets (pads / plucks / bass, plus two organ analog holds) and 40 Presets/factory/Relic patches. Catalog ids are content/relics/factory/<slot>/<slug>.relic.
  • Installer stages Relics next to wavetables under Application Support (content/relics/ plus a Relics/ basename fallback) so factory Relic presets and GENERATE are not silent.
  • UI already on main — Glow Rings Relic Lab, PLAY Relic picker, Material / Resurrection / STRATA (from 1.8.0).

Honest gaps (not in this cut)

  • Piano is a placeholder: Electra EP / Ravel piano recapture is later. Those five factory names currently play organ analog holds so they are not dead silent.
  • Waterfall organ chromatic recapture is later; two analog organ-ish holds ship now.
  • Do not invent extra placeholder .relic binaries.
