KarmaFX Synth v0.8.8, Filter v1.1c and Dee-lay v1.1c released

KarmaFX has updated KarmaFX Synth to v0.8.8 and the KarmaFX Filter and Dee-lay plug-ins to v1.1c.

KarmaFX Synth v0.8.8 changes:

• Added a new Generator: "Osc2". This is a mixed dual oscillator with adjustable hardsync and optional ring modulation. Supports saw, square, triangle, ramp and flexible sine.
• Added 4 extra distortion algorithms to the "Distortion" effect component.
• Added soft-knee "Compressor" Effect with RMS/Peak gain reduction and optional sidechain.
• Added "FM" Modulator that modulates the internal control signal using a frequency ratio and modulation index (standard FM). It can run in harmonic or disharmonic mode and has an anti-alias button for auto-scaling the modulation index.
• Added "Envelope Follower" Modulator with RMS/Peak detection.
• Added "HFO" Modulator, a High Frequency Modulator that supports standard band-limited waveforms and can work as a standard HFO (i.e. like an LFO just faster), or in FM mode. It also supports phase modulation.
• Recoded the "Decay" Modulator.
• Patch list was not updated in other instances of KarmaFX Synth when saving. Fixed.
• ADSR envelopes output changed to be in [-1 to 1] range (was [-0.5 to 0.5] previously).Consequently, the initial Modulation Depth for the Amplifier and all Filters has been set to 0.5.
• Increased number of automation controllers from 8 to 32.
• Fixed a serious crash bug when loading a new patch after changing voice count in another patch.
• Fixed crash bug when patching a polyphonic note pitch controller into another note pitch controller.
• Recoded the triangle-wave oscillator so it reacts correctly to pulsewidth changes.
• Removed "pulse" waveform from Oscillator1 since it was aliasing badly.
• Fixed some minor GUI issues.
• The synth now silently ignores patching a component to itself instead of asking the user. Hence, potentially dangerous infinite loop patching is not allowed anymore.
• Improved mouse patching when holding ctrl down:It's now possible to patch several component together in a row by keeping ctrl pressed and clicking on a series of components one at a time.
• Updated and improved the ADSR envelope. "exp" now behave like a true exponential envelope. Same goes for "log".
• Added "Load Sample", "Clear", "Normalize" and "Reverse" buttons below the waveform display in the Sampler window. One can still right click, but this should make it easier to e.g. load a sample.
• Changed name of "link" led in MIDI Data component to "midi learn".
• Changed the patch list popup window to be three rows instead of four + added support for separators.
• Fixed a bug in the LFO frequency calculation.
• In large components, knobs would sometimes not update correctly. Fixed.
• Portamento would sometimes behave strangely in polyphonic mode. Fixed.
• Fixed rare denormal bug in Amplifier.
• Improved support for high samplerates (e.g., 48kHz and 96kHz).
• When saving in sequencer, patch index got lost when using other banks than "Bank 1". Fixed.
• Some hosts (e.g. cubase) would output noise when changing patch. Fixed.
• Added a bunch of new patches. Renamed and reordered the existing ones.

Filter and Dee-lay changes:

• Better support for 48 and 96 Khz.
• Suspend now clears delay line (Dee-lay only).
