  • Added check marks to drop-down menus
  • Added control and alt key modifiers to lock x/y-only movement for nodes
  • Added snap to zero functionality for nodes
  • Various GUI redraw CPU complexity reductions
  • Slightly increased font size in almost all plugins for better readability on high-resolution screens
  • ReelBus:
  • Added output level control
  • Equalizer:
  • Modified GUI color schemes; filter section control colors are now context dependent
  • Improved octave-based averaging in frequency analyzer
  • Doubled frequency resolution of the frequency analyser
  • Barricade:
  • Fixed GUI display bug when automating input gain level
  • Improved auto-saturation algorithm
  • EBULoudness:
  • Added mode without peak hold on VU meters in realtime analysis display
  • FlX:
  • Almost complete redesign of the internal DSP core
  • Added 30 new filter prototypes, including non-resonating shelving filters, spectral balance filters, analog filters, and many others
  • Filters now have Q controls
  • Filters can now be set to process in stereo, mid, side, left or right modes
  • Automatic filter shape generation + visualization when in “node link” filter mode to give a smooth, interpolated EQ
  • Added additional, more traditional controls (frequency, gain) to facilitate easier editing
  • Improvement in spectrum analyzer frequency resolution – now features a 4096-point frequency analyzer with zoom functionality
  • Soft/hard knee compressor curve can now be set independently from the number of active nodes
  • Compressor nodes snap to X=Y for easier editing
  • Compressor side chain can use stereo, mid, side, left, right, or side/mid for input level detection
  • Added compressor make-up level control
  • Added processing “amount” control for each filter section
  • Context-dependent control colors to guide editing
  • Larger GUI for easier editing
  • Auto-phase option: equalizer phase automatically blends between linear and minimum phase for better transient response
  • Note: due to the significant changes in this plugin, the current version is not compatible with its initial release.
