VolumeShaper Changelog

What's new in VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 2.4.4 (Dec 14, 2021)

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

New in VolumeShaper 2.4.3 (Nov 27, 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 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 VolumeShaper 2.3 (Dec 16, 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 VolumeShaper 2.2.1 (Nov 25, 2020)

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

New in VolumeShaper 2.2 (Nov 25, 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: Skew selection. Ctrl-drag a corner/side handle of the selection to adjust it vertically.
  • New: Draggable LFO parameters for Volume/Pan/Width Shapers to shift the LFO waveform up/down.
  • New: ‘Move points to grid’ command in Wave Editor menu. Moves each point inside the selection onto the grid.
  • New: Right-click any preset for ‘Use as startup preset’ option. Disable in the Main Menu’s Startup section.
  • New: Wave Switch Smoothing, for preventing clicks/pops when switching Waves via MIDI, automation, or clicking in the interface.
  • New: MIDI Trigger LED to visualise MIDI note input.
  • 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.

New in VolumeShaper 2.1.1 (Nov 25, 2020)

  • Improved: Minor performance improvements.

New in VolumeShaper 2.1 (Dec 19, 2019)

  • New Shaper: CrushShaper, the ultimate creative bitcrusher, for modern mix tricks and inspiring lo-fi FX. Free for existing owners of the ShaperBox 2 Bundle (please install ShaperBox v2.1 and download/apply your updated license file).
  • Improved: Dragging Cutoff/Resonance parameters in FilterShaper Core 2 is now more consistent (smoother).
  • Fixed: Minor issues with resizable interface on dual monitor setup.
  • Fixed: Right-click menu in Wave area was shown at wrong size when interface was not at 100% size.
  • Fixed: v2.0.1 AU version could not be opened on macOS 10.8 and 10.9.

New in VolumeShaper 2.0.1 (Nov 25, 2019)

  • New: Resizable interface. Select from 75% up to 200% in main menu (next to ShaperBox 2 logo).
  • New: Draggable parameters in FilterShaper Core 2. Drag on the Cutoff or Resonance tile to shift the entire LFO wave up/down.
  • New: Draggable Mid band. Drag anywhere inside the Mid band to set High/Low Split frequencies as one. Double-click to reset to single-band setup.
  • Fixed: Under certain circumstances, audible clicks could occur at the end of the LFO wave when using "MIDI Trigger > On (1-Shot)" mode.
  • Fixed: ShaperBox 2 is now notarized for macOS Catalina, allowing installation by double-clicking the .pkg file.
  • Fixed: Various minor issues.

New in VolumeShaper 1.0.2 (Dec 21, 2018)

  • Fix for DAWs such as Logic Pro X and Reason: In these DAWs, inaccurate song position sync caused unexpected artifacts in TimeShaper. This is now compensated for inside TimeShaper, avoiding artifacts.

New in VolumeShaper 4.0.2 (Apr 3, 2015)

  • When editing waveforms, some DAWs such as Ableton Live faced big CPU hits — we're now sending less automation data for a more stable editing. It's a small change with a big impact on affected DAWs.
  • Plus we've fixed a rare crash bug in VolumeShaper.

New in VolumeShaper 3.1.4 (Oct 3, 2013)

  • We've fixed some small bugs, we've reduced CPU usage and we've made the UI behave smoother.

New in VolumeShaper 3.1.1 (Dec 24, 2012)

  • Fixes a crash bug which could happen in Cubase (and maybe other hosts too).

New in VolumeShaper 3.1 (Dec 14, 2012)

  • Adds a mix (dry/wet) control, so you can easily adjust your sidechain compression effect, your gated rhythm or tempo-synced stutter.
