Yellow Tools has announced that Independence Basic is now shipping and Freedom v2.0 and Origami v2.0 are also now available.

Independence Basic

Independence Basic comes with the same audio engine as Independence 2 and is fully compatible with Independence Free and Independence 2. Apart from the ability to load 3rd party VST effects and VST instruments - which is not enabled in Independence Basic - you have access to the same powerful software features as Independence 2.

Freedom 2.0

ALL insert filters and effects of Freedom 2.0 are fully surround compatible up to 8.1. The format of your surround files (host channel) gets recognized automatically and Freedom 2 assigns the respective channels accordingly. With the new FX Bank Browser you have immediate access to hundreds of presets for your inserts. The automation features of Freedom 2 now also include minimum and maximum automation values: You can use the full range (0% to 100%) of the selected controller only for a specified value range of the assigned (automated) parameter. With the new mix down feature you can route any channel of your surround format to "L" (left) and "R" (right) and thus create a mix down of your surround format to stereo.

All registered users of Freedom 1.x can download version 2.0.0 in the yellow tools User Area for free.

Origami 2.0

Origami 2.0 enters a totally new dimension for real-time impulse response processing. The intuitive and easy-to-use rack functionality gives you immediate access to many premium IR models and variations (like churches, cathedrals, stages, rooms, halls, etc.) from "Inspired Acoustics", many surround IR files and an audio import option. Origami offers three independent snapshot slots and a comfortable FX bank browser with many presets. You can add an unlimited number of insert effects to each slot and easily change their order per drag'n'drop. For an intuitive workflow, the order of the insert effects in the rack corresponds exactly to the progression of the audio input signal. Origami comes with an innovative host and MIDI automation including the additional parameters "invert", "bypass", "host learn" and "MIDI learn".

All registered users of Origami 1.x can download version 2.0.0 in the yellow tools User Area for free.

Independence Free DVD

Beside the free download of Independence Free you can now also order the DVD version for only €$9.90 in the yellow tools Online Shop.
