apulSoft Updates

https://apulsoft.ch/

Note: PDF Manuals are updated too, so download those also.

apUnmast updated to 1.0.6

This is the first plugin that got updated to Juce 8. This means better UI performance and future-proofing of OS and host compatibility. During the migration to Juce 8, I decided to rework the graphics and use a different (darker) approach for the dark color schemes.

apShaper updated to 1.2.4

apShaper got a new feature: A through-mode for dynamics detection. This allows to use the side-chain as a modulation signal without any extra processing and is especially useful in hosts with modular routing capabilities.
apShaper was moved to Juce 8 and got the new UI treatment.

apVerb updated to 1.2.2

apVerb has been migrated to Juce 8 with the overhauled UI style.

[stubbsonic]

They added a new mode called Pleiades:

"Fast attack, smooth decay, high echo density, filtering in the feedback loop, great for realistic and transparent reverbs."
