KarmaFX has updated KarmaFX Synth Modular to v1.04 and KarmaFX Plugin Pack to v2.1. The updates mainly contain bugfixes although a couple of new features have been added to the Synth and a fresh install is required. Synth Modular price has been adjusted to take into account the recent rise in the US dollar.
KarmaFX Synth Modular v1.04 changes:
- Added Kybd tracking support to parametric filter (in lowpass, highpass, bandpass and notch mode).
- Replaced random waveform in LFO with one that has 1 step-change per period unlike old random that does 16.
Old random has been renamed to 'Random16'. - Added right click volume-range option (+6dB (default), +12dB or +24dB) to output module.
- Added Clk option to Envelope and Step modules.
- Added Linear, Cubic and Hermite curve modes to Envelope module.
- Sampler now also imports loop info from .wav files if available.
- Added limited support for .sfz soundfont import in Sampler.
- Updated and added a few new patches. Changed almost all patches to be tuned in C. [requires fresh install]
