This free update addresses some stability issues and is recommended for all users.
What's new in v1.1.1:
- Fixed an issue that could lead to a crash in Spectral Layers Pro and other hosts that instantiate plug-ins with an unknown channel count.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a crash when the plug-in was instantiated at an unsupported sample rate.
Version 1.1.0, January 15th, 2025:
Official release version. Version 1.1.0 is a recommended update for all users.
Whats new in v1.1.0:
Official Release!
- New SUB BOOST and AIR BOOST parameters, which allow applying up to +12 dB of gain to the audio beneath or above the frequency range that the PUNCH processing applies to.
- New post-CLIPPER manual gain compensation function, consisting of a COMPENSATION GAIN control, and a toggle switch to enable/disable it.
- Improved CPU usage for SMOOTH mode.
- Added support for MIDI control of the Load/Save/Next/Previous Preset functions.
- Added support for automatic High DPI Scaling on Windows.
- Bumped up the font size for parameter labels for better legibility.
- Fixed an issue that caused MIDI controllers to not be received in the AU plugin. This fix breaks recall of sessions created with the v1.0.0 Early Access AU!
- Fixed an issue that caused 5 samples of uncompensated latency. Plugin latency is now always 5 samples, and these are correctly compensated for.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Pro Tools to not offer the Plug-In for track widths greater than 7.1.
- Fixed an issue that could cause zipper noise when moving BIAS sliders and/or switching BIAS presets in SMOOTH mode.
- Fixed an issue that caused the preset to not appear dirty (edited) when changing only the selected BIAS preset.
