ShaperBox 3 Changelog

What's new in ShaperBox 3 3.2.3

Mar 7, 2023
  • New: Shift-click a Wave Preset or Custom Wave to scale it to the same vertical range as the current wave. Useful when you have (for example) a Filter Cutoff wave covering a narrow range, and want to try different wave shapes spanning the same range. Also works when Shift-clicking "Paste wave" in the Wave Menu.
  • New: "Show Legacy Presets" option added to the Main Menu. When enabled, presets from ShaperBox 1/2 will appear in the All section of the Browser. Please Sync once to download them.
  • Improved: "Auto" added to background Oscilloscope options in the Wave Menu. On by default, this option selects the most appropriate mode (Stereo, Combined or Magnitude) for every Shaper.
  • Improved: "Auto" added to Grid options in the Wave Menu. On by default, this option switches between Straight and Triplet grids depending on LFO Length.
  • Improved: "Snap on by default" option in the Wave Menu, enabling snap whenever the plugin is loaded.
  • Improved: Randomize function can now be applied to a selection.
  • Improved: Sidechain detector signal is shown temporarily while hovering/adjusting the Filter Band in the Envelope Follower or Compressor.
  • Improved: LFO Timing Mode (Beat / Hertz / Pitch) is now a DAW-automatable parameter.
  • Fixed: Global Audio Trigger setup screen partially covered the expanded Wave Editor.
  • Fixed: Mouse wheel adjustment did not work for the LFO Length menu.
  • Fixed: The waveform display is now updated while editing via the Cubase Direct Offline Processing dialog.

New in ShaperBox 3 3.2.2 (Mar 7, 2023)

  • Fixed: ShaperBox crashed when clicking the colored Shaper dots next to preset names.
  • Fixed: Under certain conditions, ShaperBox could crash directly after loading on Windows.

New in ShaperBox 3 3.2.1 (Jan 2, 2023)

  • New: Octave offset for LFO's MIDI Pitch mode. Useful for zooming in/out horizontally in the Oscilloscope Tool, and for creating AM/FM-type effects in Shapers.
  • Improved: Multiselection and exclusion in the Preset Library's Shaper filter. Click to show presets containing selected Shapers. Right-click (or use any modifier) to exclude Shapers. Drag to quickly select multiple Shapers.

New in ShaperBox 3 3.2 (Dec 15, 2022)

  • New: 41 additional Cymbal and Percussion noise types for NoiseShaper.
  • New: Pitch control for NoiseShaper, up to +/- 24 semitones.
  • Fixed: ShaperBox could crash after expanding the LFO wave in TimeShaper.
  • Fixed: The vectorscope in Pan and Width Shapers was missing the right-hand side of the graph when displaying a 100% sides signal.

New in ShaperBox 3 3.1.1 (Nov 29, 2022)

  • New: Vectorscope stereo analyzer for PanShaper and WidthShaper.
  • Improved: Your ShaperBox 1/2 custom presets can now be synced to ShaperBox 3. To use the feature, open ShaperBox 1 or 2 and select Sync from the Main Menu (three lines icon). Next open ShaperBox 3 and click the Sync button in the top bar (or via Main Menu). Your synced presets will appear in the My Presets area, prefixed "SB1" or "SB2". If you delete/alter/rename them in ShaperBox 3, they remain visible and unchanged in ShaperBox 1/2.
  • Improved: NoiseShaper's noise download dialog will not be shown again once cancelled.
  • Fixed: Oscilloscope Tool was not resized when the Global Audio Trigger panel was open.
  • Fixed: If the plugin was loaded while a selected MIDI device port was unavailable, the plugin internally defaulted to DAW MIDI, causing unexpected results.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.4.5 (Dec 23, 2021)

  • Fixed:
  • Syncing presets with the server could stop working if you've set up a public profile image via the Main Menu.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.4.4 (Dec 14, 2021)

  • New: Supports VST 3.
  • New: "Use OpenGL Graphics" option in Main Menu for Windows users.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.4.3 (Nov 28, 2021)

  • New: 12 additional noise sounds for NoiseShaper
  • Fixed: UI performance was slow on some macOS systems when Scaling was not set to 100%
  • Fixed: Rosetta is no longer required during installation on Apple Silicon M1 systems
  • Fixed: The error dialog box could show corrupt characters in certain situations

New in ShaperBox 3 2.4.2 (Oct 31, 2021)

  • Improved: NoiseShaper's user noise folder can now be opened directly via a Main Menu entry.
  • Improved: In some DAWs (eg, Logic Pro), switching presets was slow on older versions of macOS.
  • Fixed: Rare crash bug with the macOS version of ShaperBox when syncing files for NoiseShaper.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.4.1 (Oct 14, 2021)

  • Fixed: If your internet connection was interrupted while downloading NoiseShaper's noise files, some noises could stop working.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.3.3 (Jun 30, 2021)

  • Fixed: When using PanShaper at a sample rate of 192kHz or higher, high Haas settings could cause crashes.
  • Fixed: In some DAWs (eg, Cubase), latency was not correctly compensated when the plugin was bypassed by the host.
  • Fixed: Double-clicking or dragging a modulatable parameter could sometimes change the LFO waveform, or create too many undo stages.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.3.2 (May 5, 2021)

  • New: Supports AAX for Pro Tools 12.0 or later.
  • New: "Always use 16 samples of latency" option via Main Menu. When disabled, ShaperBox uses 0 samples of latency when DriveShaper is not added. For most DAWs, latency is compensated correctly, so this setting makes no practical difference. However, some DAWs (eg, Ableton Live and Logic Pro X) have known problems with latency compensation, so zero latency can be helpful.
  • Fixed: In FL Studio, host time signatures with a denominator other than 4 caused timing issues.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.3.1 (Dec 23, 2020)

  • Fixed: In Ableton Live, automation for automated parameters could be disabled after loading a project containing ShaperBox.
  • Fixed: TimeShaper's MIDI Trigger Smoothing did not work properly when TimeShaper was placed after DriveShaper, an LFO waveform "step" coincided with a MIDI note triggering the LFO, and TimeShaper's Step Mode was set to Smooth.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.3 (Dec 17, 2020)

  • New Shaper: DriveShaper. If you own it, then please download/apply your updated license file from your Cableguys user account.
  • New: LFO Smooth control for all Shapers except TimeShaper.
  • Fixed: FilterShaper Core 2's Stereo Offset setting was not saved with songs.
  • Fixed: If an LFO used Hertz mode, the background LFO waveforms (from other Bands/Shapers) were shown with the wrong length.
  • Fixed: Dialog boxes were scaled incorrectly for Scalings other than 100% or 200%.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.2.1 (Nov 25, 2020)

  • Fixed: In Reason, a Shaper sometimes became bypassed shortly after it was added.

New in ShaperBox 3 2.2 (Nov 18, 2020)

  • New: Stereo Offset control for FilterShaper Core 2. Shifts left/right filter cutoff in opposing directions, up to 60 semitones.
  • New: 1-slider Envelope/Compressor Editing. Amount/Ratio and On/Off controls are always accessible. Click “<” for full controls.

  • New: Reset Shaper via Main Menu, initialising to default empty preset or a Quick Preset.
  • Improved: Snap to grid is now a toggle option and works for selections too. Hold Shift to temporarily toggle Snap.
  • Improved: TimeShaper resampling algorithm is 2x lower in CPU, with even quieter interpolation artefacts.
  • Fixed: TimeShaper Step Mode could change the sound of non-stepped audio-rate waveforms.
