Downloading Bliss 9

9.1.15 has been released May 6, 2010. There is only one download that works for both the 64 and 32 bit system. Release 15 fixes some bugs and adds the abilit to synthesize rising and falling tones.

Bliss 9 currently only has two major programs, the Audio Transmuter and a Digital Recorded. These are not just a replacement for the version 7 Audio Transmuter, but a difference approach using modern program design. I urge all users of Bliss to install both.

Bliss 9 also requires .NET 3.5. This can be downloaded from Microsoft and needs only be done once. Try download here.

[ Download Bliss 9]  This is release 9.1.14 for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems

Bliss 9 no longer supports any of the windows 95/98 series operating system and may not work on 2000. It is tested on XP, Vista 32 and Vista64. It should work on any platform that support .NET 3.5. This is the stable version; there is no beta but you may download previous versions as well as the development releases from here.

Bug tracking can be found here.
