I got notice that 4 Softube plugs I own have updates:
• Tape
• Weiss Deess
• Weiss MM-1 Masterming Maximizer
• Widener
I looked for a change log for v2.5.92 on Softube's site, but only previous version released on 10/8 was listed.
Addictive Drums 2.5 Update. Looks significant.

Addictive Drums 2.5 Update. Looks significant.
Addictive Drums 2 2.5.0. Oct 22, 2024
Our biggest update to Addictive Drums 2! A fresh new look with a modern interface focused on ease of use. Brand new features, performance improvements and bugfixes.
New improved interface
New Trig Gate effect
New compressor mode: "Boost!"
Improved EQ with spectrum analyzer
Beat Transformer more accessible
Help tips in the bottom bar
Bugfixes & performance improvements
UPDATE: Just launched this. Most striking thing is they seem to have really cleaned up the UI and preset browsing. I really like the look of the updated version. Funny how a UI improvement will make me more inclined to actually USE a piece of software. I may start reaching for this sometimes instead of SD3 which has been my go to. (Right click image below and choose to open in new tab to see full size. This as at 100% but I may bump it to 125%. Also has option for Open GL hardware acceleration, but not sure if I need or even should use that?)

Also I just noticed the gathering of usage information box is checked by default. May want to turn that off.

Thanks. Yeah. I don’t own those so couldn’t see. I’m still having a terrible time with the Softube updater. Practically every other time I run it it gets stuck and I have to delete and reinstall the helper. Don’t know why, but it’s the most problematic updater app on my Mac by far.

Note to whom it may concern:
If you like to keep the installers, the individual downloads on the site haven't been updated yet:
https://support.solidstatelogic.com/hc/ ... nloads-0-0
I've been waiting several days. In the past I've emailed support and informed them but I'm not playing that game anymore; it's not my job to tell them how to do their job.

UVI Falcon updated to 3.1.1
Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2024 9:06 pm
by James Steele
UVI Falcon updated to 3.1.1
And damned if I can find a changelog for 3.1.1. There's no link in the info window in UVI Portal except to the manual.
UPDATE: "Release notes" link appeared today. Here's what has changed:
3.1.1
------------
- Fix some issues and crashes related to the new Tag Browser
- UI tweaks in the new Tag Browser
- Can now use AND and OR operation for timbre tags
Looks like (at least for me) UVI Portal is still wonky and it downloads the Falcon dmg and tells you it has installed it but it hasn't. You have to go into Downloads folder and open the dmg file and then launch the pkg.
