A deeper kick.
Hybrid layers, separate envelopes, velocity expression and 16 native preset slots.
Comparative features / pinned release baseline
What changed.
What stayed. What’s next.
Compare the public .32 Acultur8 release with this .60 kick prerelease. Clear feature scope, with the evidence and limits beside each claim.
The wider engine.
909, 808, two 303 parts, BREAK, all 25 sound strips and the established song workflow.
Know the bounds.
Physical core1 stack/deadline coverage and the cause of earlier .59 counter events remain open.
Baseline: Acultur8 v0.1.32-straightbeta, compared with reviewed .60 source documentation. This is not a comparison against the latest upstream X0X. New Acultur8 work is distinguished from inherited features.

| Area | Public .32 baseline | .60 kick prerelease | Evidence / limits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 909, 808, two 303 parts, BREAK and song workflow | Existing X0X/Acultur8 foundation | Retained | Inherited engine, not a new .60 invention |
| All 25 sound strips | Already documented | Retained, with exact-output strip/workload changes in later development | Full software checks; physical sweeps covered representative kick controls, not every combination |
| Per-sound HP/LP, boost and limiter | Already documented | Retained; shared mono processing work reduced | Exact PCM/state comparisons and representative quiet tests |
| Independent lanes and expanded rate families | Present in earlier Acultur8 | Retained | Do not present these as new kick-only features |
| Arrangement/chords/bass following | Already documented | Retained | Host/scenario evidence; no complete DAW/live-set certification |
| Hybrid 808 wave layer and 39 controls | Not in pinned .32 drum808 source | Active saved hybrid kick with built-in sources and optional USER1 reference | Current source, exact-value codec and scoped listening |
| Separate synth/wave envelopes and click shaping | No hybrid layer in that pinned source | Current hybrid controls | Screen milliseconds differ from stored raw values |
| Native kick preset bank | No 16-slot hybrid kick bank in pinned .32 | 16 native kick slots; confirmed STORE/RECALL | Exact record readback, unchanged other slots and normal restart passed |
| Starter sound | No Favorite Slot 1 package in pinned release | One selected preset, not an untuned draft bank | Export bytes, codec round-trip and separate quiet audition passed |
| Kick step velocity tiers and jitter | Not part of the pinned hybrid extension | LOW/MID/HIGH tiers, per-step selection, jitter and modulation | Retained ABI; no new independent resolved-velocity telemetry claim |
| Long-tail hybrid retrigger handling | Not applicable to the absent hybrid layer | Existing residual-ramp handling retained | Current-sound and overlapping 1,773 ms quiet checks; not exhaustive phase/velocity coverage |
| PHASE 303B option | Not part of that release's stated extension | Native option retained from later development | Four native/unmapped inventory rows; do not imply direct CC binding |
| Complete inventory | 753 rows, draft-1-actions-prototype-1 | 803 rows, draft-2-kick-presets-1 | 50 added inventory rows: 46 addressed kick controls/actions/tier plus 4 native PHASE entries |
| Preset action guards | No later kick-preset ABI | Explicit context, request token, arm/execute and stopped-only transaction | Source-owned MIDI contexts are independent of panel focus |
| Timing/calibration and clock routing | Earlier timing work already present | Retained | Calibration preserved across normal restart; no new universal MIDI-jitter claim |
| P2/P11 workload reduction work | Earlier engine checkpoint | Later hat/table RAM placement and strip work reductions retained | Host improvements and bounded device observations, not every workload |
| Stopped dropout capture | Earlier diagnostic behavior differs | .60 can retain a dropout block even when stopped | A diagnostic capability, not attribution of a fixed root cause |
| Test scope | Earlier release's own evidence | 135 checks, 39 host scenarios, six kick groups; current bounded device checks | Host identity 9000138 and target identity 9000160 are distinct |
| Sustained physical observation | Keep earlier results in their original scope | User-timed complex P11 25 minutes, 0 dropouts / 0 guards | One unit and workload; earlier .59 events remain unexplained |
| Physical core1 / full stack and deadlines | Not established by this comparison | Still open | IRQ 1,092 / 7,936 B is not a whole-system or core1 bound |
| Automatic preset importer / mod-pack loader | Not promised here | Deferred; JSON exporter is read-only | Use the supplied native-control reference and an empty destination slot |
| Native Tightness Factor | Not included by this comparison | Deferred | Do not promise it in promo or tutorials |
| Browser, Pages and physical acceptance | Separate evidence boundaries | Remain separate | Documentation is now online; it does not certify every browser/DAW setup |
