Toneboosters Plug-ins updated to v2.8.6 (Win & Mac, VST & AU)

ToneBoosters has updated all its Windows and Mac OS X VST and AU plug-ins to version 2.8.6.

All plugins:

• Added check marks to drop-down menus.
• Added control and alt key modifiers to lock x/y-only movement for nodes.
• Added snap to zero functionality for nodes.
• Various GUI redraw CPU complexity reductions.
• Slightly increased font size in almost all plugins for better readability on high-resolution screens.

ReelBus:

• Added output level control.

Equalizer:

• Modified GUI color schemes; filter section control colors are now context dependent.
• Improved octave-based averaging in frequency analyzer.
• Doubled frequency resolution of the frequency analyzer.

Barricade:

• Fixed GUI display bug when automating input gain level.
• Improved auto-saturation algorithm.

EBULoudness:

• Added mode without peak hold on VU meters in realtime analysis display.

Flx:

• Almost complete redesign of the internal DSP core.
• Added 30 new filter prototypes, including non-resonating shelving filters, spectral balance filters, analog filters, and many others.
• Filters now have Q controls.
• Filters can now be set to process in stereo, mid, side, left or right modes.
• Automatic filter shape generation + visualization when in "auto node link" filter mode to give a smooth, interpolated EQ.
• Added additional, more traditional controls (frequency, gain) to facilitate easier editing.
• Improvement in spectrum analyzer frequency resolution – now features a 4096-point frequency analyzer with zoom functionality.
• Soft/hard knee compressor curve can now be set independently from the number of active nodes.
• Compressor nodes snap to X=Y for easier editing.
• Compressor side chain can use stereo, mid, side, left, right, or side/mid for input level detection.
• Added compressor make-up level control.
• Added processing "amount" control for each filter section.
• Context-dependent control colors to guide editing.
• Larger GUI for easier editing.
• Auto-phase option: equalizer phase automatically blends between linear and minimum phase for better transient response.
• Note: due to the significant changes in this plugin, the current version is not compatible with its initial release.
