SoundHack has released version 1.2 of the Spectral Shapers plugin bundle for Mac OS X, adding Universal Binary compatibility for the VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS versions plus Protools 7.0 and above compatibility for the RTAS version.

SoundHack Spectral Shapers for Windows will soon be released and will feature a new version of the VST plugins and an RTAS release for Protools.

The four plugins in the Spectral Shapers bundle are filters which reshape the timbre of sound: +spectralcompand, a spectral version of a compressor/expander which can be used for broadband noise reduction; +spectralgate, a multi-band noise gate and ducker; +morphfilter, which morphs between two filter settings that can be drawn or learned; and +binaural, a spatialization plug-in optimized for headphone use.

Spectral Shapers v1.2 now costs $99 as an electronic download from www.soundhack.com, or $150 from authorized dealers. It is a free update to registered users.
