MachineCodex Software has updated AudioCodex to v1.20. This is a significant upgrade which eliminates a number of bugs and tightens up the user interface.
Changes:

- Improvements to Preset menu operation; if a named preset is currently selected when 'New preset...' is activated, that preset's name will be specified as the proposed name for the preset, making it easy to re-save the preset with updated/modified settings.
- Improved Playback settings restoration, the Enabled and Global states for Warp, Equalizer, Reverb, and the Fx Chain effects are now properly respected, as well as the individual settings for each associated Audio Unit effect.
