Cableguys have released version 3.2.3 of ShaperBox, their rhythmic effects plugin for "creative mixing and rhythmic inspiration".
Changes in ShaperBox 3.2.3:
- New: "Show Legacy Presets" option added to the Main Menu. When enabled, presets from ShaperBox 1/2 will appear in the All section of the Browser. Please Sync once to download them.
- New: Shift-click a Wave Preset or Custom Wave to scale it to the same vertical range as the current wave. Useful when you have (for example) a Filter Cutoff wave covering a narrow range, and want to try different wave shapes spanning the same range. Also works when Shift-clicking "Paste wave" in the Wave Menu.
- Improved: "Auto" option for background Oscilloscope in the Wave Menu. On by default, this option selects the most appropriate mode (Stereo, Combined or Magnitude) for every Shaper.
- Improved: "Auto" option for Grid in the Wave Menu. On by default, this option switches between Straight and Triplet grids depending on LFO Length.
- Improved: "Snap on by default" option in the Wave Menu, enabling snap whenever the plugin is loaded.
- Improved: Randomize function can now be applied to a selection.
- Improved: Sidechain detector signal is shown temporarily while hovering/adjusting the Filter Band in the Envelope Follower or Compressor.
- Improved: LFO Timing Mode (Beat / Hertz / Pitch) is now a DAW-automatable parameter.
- Fixed: Global Audio Trigger setup screen partially covered the expanded Wave Editor.
- Fixed: Mouse wheel adjustment did not work for the LFO Length menu.
- Fixed: The waveform display is now updated while editing via the Cubase Direct Offline Processing dialog.
