I just went to the PSP site thinking I'd find an update to 608 Multi-Delay, but it's still at last year's v 1.8.0.

I'm kind of surprised they haven't fixed that one yet. Any one know anything on that?

Nope, nor have they responded to my support request. The VST2 and VST3 work but not the AU.

... The VST2 and VST3 work but not the AU.

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks!

I'm able to load the VST2/3 in DP, and was able to use the AU of Blue Cat's Patchwork to load the VST3 in Mainstage, so I'm all set.

New UVI Portal 3 updated

So I launched UVI Portal to check on any UVI updates and got a dialog telling me there was a new "Portal 3" and to click the link to update. For whatever reason, it took me a French language version of the site. So you can just go here and get it if you dont parlez-vous français.

UJAM Virtual Guitaist Silk2 and Amber2 updated to 2.3.0

Got an email about both of these being updated. Just before you run the UJAM Portal/Downloader, launch DP and open the plugins and make sure that you're signed in and they are activated. For some reason I was signed out and the updater wouldn't let me download and install the updates.

Below is what was stated in the mail. Don't know what they're talking about when they say Apple Silicon compatibility. The previous versions were already, but who knows?

Virtual Guitarist Update
We have just released an update to Virtual Guitarist that introduces VST3 and Apple Silicon compatibility, improving performance on all devices. AAX Universal Binary support is also now available, ensuring smooth
operation in various DAWs.

Also the updater is a bit wonky. You may updated one and then if you need to update another instrument you'll get some sort of error that the download is unavailable. Quit UJAM (from the menu bar item) and then relaunch it.
