Special notes

  • We added preliminary drag & drop support for the Linux version. Dragging files and folders inside the plugin should work, as well as dragging files from outside into the plugin. Dragging files out of the plugin isn’t implemented yet, and many Linux distributions have yet to be tested. If you encounter any problems, please let us know, quoting details of your Linux system.

  • The Windows installer should now run on Windows ARM. However, we currently do not support ARM on Windows. Use at your own risk.

  • The VST3 version was missing the eight Osc FX bypass buttons in the list of automatable parameters. This has been fixed. But it means that some projects might now automate the wrong parameters.

  • Due to improvements and fixes, some slight changes in sound are possible. For instance, the unlocking of the modulation depth of FMO and envelope parameters, or the MSEG release rate fix could cause some presets to sound different now.
