Voxengo Span Changelog

What's new in Voxengo Span 3.15

Nov 7, 2022
  • Changed spectrum's "Freq Lo" maximum to 500 Hz (down from 1000 Hz), and "Freq Hi" minimum to 600 (down from 2000 Hz), to permit finer low- and mid-frequency range selections.
  • Added the "Spectrum, meter border" palette modifier. Updated palettes.
  • Made a small speed-up of GUI loading and drawing.
  • Fixed an issue with popup-menus not functioning in Logic Pro on Apple M1 native.
  • Implemented "Portable Setups" support (portable settings), read more in the Primary User Guide.

New in Voxengo Span 3.13 (Mar 29, 2022)

  • Added the "Large Cursor Readouts" plug-in setting which enables larger mouse position readouts, useful when the plug-in is placed on a distant dedicated monitor.
  • Fixed a drawing bug with the "Flat Panels" global switch disabled.
  • Improved overall graphics drawing performance.
  • Improved anti-aliased line rendering of the secondary spectrum.
  • Improved knob's renderings.
  • By frequent user request, the "Solo" switch's state is now saved together with the preset (a part of the routing parameters). While this opens up a possibility of leaving the "Solo" switch enabled and forgotten, this provides more flexibility, e.g. when mid/side processing is used.

New in Voxengo Span 3.12 (Dec 6, 2021)

  • Added the "Panel border" palette modifier.
  • Updated all palettes, to reduce "border" contrast. An existing palette may need to be reloaded for the change to be visible.
  • Modified spectrum window's sliders to look less contrasted.

New in Voxengo Span 3.11 (Apr 26, 2021)

  • Added Apple Silicon native compatibility.
  • Added 1/48 octave spectrum smoothing option.
  • Improved spectrum smoothing precision.
  • Enabled the "asynchronous drawing" window mode on macOS; may fix the user interface "lagging".
  • The "Copy to" button is now called the "Copy": this button now copies parameters FROM the selected group, NOT TO the selected group. This should improve the workflow.
  • Improved font rendering slightly.

New in Voxengo Span 3.10 (Oct 3, 2020)

  • Internal channel letters were changed to numbers.
  • Level meters can now display input channel names instead of internal channel indices.
  • Added "Stereo Swap" and "Stereo To Mono" routing presets.
  • Added AudioComponents interface to AudioUnit as the ".rsrc" interface may be deprecated in the future.

New in Voxengo Span 3.8 (Mar 21, 2020)

  • Added the preset list sorting function to the preset manager.
  • Redesigned the knob image.
  • Extended the "Color Editor" with color modifiers.
  • Added the "Gray Blue" and "Navy" color schemes.
  • Implemented "anti-aliased" line drawing optimization.
  • Fixed a bug where the "Hold" switch was not holding statistics.

New in Voxengo Span 3.7 (Dec 28, 2019)

  • Version 3.7 adds the "True Peak/Sample Peak" switch which can be used to switch between true peak and sample peak indication

New in Voxengo Span 3.6 (Oct 7, 2019)

  • Fixed a minor frequency drift on deep zoom-in.
  • Fixed a minor spectrum power shift in non-Hann window modes.
  • Added the "Align 0 dB" spectrum display mode. This mode enables alignment of stationary 1 kHz sinewave of 0 dBFS peak level to 0 dB visual level, irrespective of the “Block Size” setting. This mode may be useful for precise technical analysis of signals. When this mode is enabled, you may also need to set the “Slope” to 0, and adjust the “Range Low” and “Range High” values.

New in Voxengo Span 3.5 (Aug 20, 2019)

  • Improved responsiveness during window resizing.
  • Improved visual quality at different visual interface scales.
  • Windows: implemented (switchable) higher-precision user interface update timer, for smoother display.

New in Voxengo Span 3.3 (May 13, 2019)

  • List of changes in version 3.3:
  • Implemented EBU-R128 "LUFS" and "LU" metering modes.
  • Implemented "True Peak" peak level and clippings detection.
  • Voxengo SPAN 3.3 Screenshot:
  • SPAN provides you with a very flexible “mode” system which you can use to setup your spectrum analyzer preferences. You may specify Fourier block size in samples, FFT window overlap percentage, spectrum's visual slope. Beside that you can choose to display secondary spectrum of a desired type (e.g. real-time maximum, all-time maximum). Spectrum can be smoothed out visually for an easier examination.
  • SPAN also features output level metering with adjustable ballistics and integration time, K-system metering (including calibration K-system metering). SPAN displays level metering statistics, headroom estimation and clipping detection. Correlation metering is available as well.
  • SPAN features:
  • Output signal power statistics
  • Spectrum smoothing
  • User interface window resizing
  • Clipping statistics
  • Correlation meter
  • EBU R128 LUFS/LU metering
  • K-metering
  • Stereo and multi-channel analysis
  • Mid/side analysis
  • Internal channel routing
  • Channel grouping
  • Preset manager
  • Undo/redo history
  • A/B comparisons
  • Contextual hint messages
  • All sample rates support
  • Retina and HighDPI support

New in Voxengo Span 2.9 (Apr 3, 2015)

  • Implemented color scheme editor with load and save functions.
  • Added "Brown" and "White" color schemes.
  • Redesigned the infrastructure controls.
  • Made internal channel names start at "C" to reduce confusion with the A/B comparison buttons.
  • Reduced plugin file size considerably for faster loading.
  • Reduced the overall memory consumption.

New in Voxengo Span 2.8 (Oct 16, 2014)

  • minor fixes and add VST3 support.
