Thanks for the update. I am getting the VST 3 versions blacklisted in Cubase 9.5. VST2 working fine.

[Blue Cat Audio]

Thanks for the heads up. Are you working on Mac or Windows? Also, did the VST3 version work fine for you before the update?

Very nice. Being able to get that extra 20-30% zoom is so much nicer on a 1440p screen.

We have uploaded a maintenance release for Destructor (v1.21). It fixes an issue that appeared in v1.2 regarding source selection in the destruction module. It is recommenced to update quickly, as it impacts the dynamics detection feature of the destruction module (all presets that use another source than the preamp for dynamics will not sound as good as they should in v1.2!).

Do you know if any of the factory presets are set up this way?

[Blue Cat Audio]

Yes, some of them do use the input signal for dynamics detection. But most of them are setup for the preamp.
