Cockos has updated its ReaPlugs VST FX Suite to v1.1. The collection now includes a multiband compressor, ReaXcomp, and an unlimited multitap delay, ReaDelay.
The other plugs were also updated with this release (including most of them being quite a bit faster, ReaEQ showing better previews of the filters with optional phase view, and more).
ReaPlugs VST FX Suite
ReaComp features:
- Ultra-configurable compressor.
- Soft knee support.
- Sidechain filters, sidechain inputs.
- Feedback compression mode.
- Program dependent auto-release mode.
- Variable RMS size.
- Oversampling antialias modes (with optional limiting).
- Optional make-up gain.
- Optional lookahead.
- Wet/dry mix.
- Low CPU use.
- Useful metering.
ReaXcomp features:
- Unlimited band compressor.
- Great metering per band.
- Fantastic sounding filters.
- Solo current band mode.
- Tons of controls per band (ratio, threshold, knee, attack, release, makeup, program dependent release, feedback detector, RMS size)
- Adjusting bands in graph is easy (modifiers to change ratio, gain, etc).
ReaDelay features:
- Multi-tap delay, no practical limit on tap count.
- Up to 10 second delay per tap.
- Tap lengths can be in time (s/ms) or quarter notes.
- Feedback, LPF/HPF, resolution reduction per tap.
- Stereo width per tap.
- Volume/pan per tap.
ReaEQ features:
- Unlimited band IIR based equalizer.

- Frequency response and phase response display.
- Display of approximate note+octave for frequencies.
- Per-band bypass control.
- Full-view of graph optional for precise editing.
- Mouse modifiers/mousewheel usable for editing bandwidth of points in graph.
ReaFIR features:
- FFT based dynamics processor (requires host plug-in delay compensation).
- Supports FFT sizes of 128-32768.
- Useful in/out frequency response display.
- Supports defining response curves both using any number of points, or freehand mouse.
- EQ - can be used as a linear phase mastering EQ, or as a super-effective surgical EQ.
- Compressor - can compress at a fixed ratio with a per-band threshold.
