Loomer have updated Aspect for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux to version 1.7.9.

This update adds the following improvements:

• (Windows) Fixed incredibly rare crash which may occur when first opening the plug-in on certain 32-bit VST Windows hosts.
• Massively improved speed and responsiveness of all UI controls.
• Improved CPU usage when tweaking parameters from a hardware controller.
• (Windows) For the Windows VST plug-in, when using a relative path of "." for the presets folder, the path is now relative to the plug-in's DLL file and not the host's executable file. This makes it possible to easily create a portable or USB stick install of Aspect.
• Standalone versions now support multiple simultaneous hardware controllers.
• (Linux) User presets are now displayed in alphabetical order in the preset browser.
• (Linux) Improved UI font selection means that a more appropriate font is often used in any Linux distributions which provide only a small selection of default fonts.
• Fixed an issue where the OK button in the save preset browser would temporarily become disabled when switching from the Factory presets selection.
• Various minor compatibility fixes for certain hosts.
