This probably happened a while ago. I missed it. I had 1.0.6. Apogee doesn't seem to send out emails so I just checked and this was now version 1.0.7. Looks like only big change is Apple Silicon native support for AAX.

Steinberg Spectral Layers 11 updated to 11.0.30

I actually missed this because I periodically launch Steinberg Download Manager to see if there are any alerts and there wasn't for this. You have to click SpectralLayers 11 in the "My product downloads" pane and then you will see that the button says "Install" instead of "Install again."

Here's what's new:

SpectraLayers 11.0.30

• An issue when creating display and module filters has been resolved.
