Vengeance Sound has released updates for Multiband Sidechain (v2.5), Metrum (v1.1.0), Philta XL (v1.0.3) and Multiband Compressor (v1.0.2), which all now include RTAS versions.

Changes in Multiband Sidechain v2.5:

• Added full RTAS support.
• Updated the internal framework / graphic engine to version 3.1.
• Re-implemented the click-drag function to open the preset browser. (left click on the preset browser and pull the mouse down 10px to open the browser).
• Fixed the Logic host-sync trigger problem.
• Added "Multi" Transmitter support. Now its possible to have more than 1 Transmitter, each Transmitter can be named.
• The Sidechain plugin now has a pulldown menu to select the desired Transmitter.
• Some parameters are now handled as system settings (i.e. Triggermode, TriggerSense) so that they are not changed anymore by just browsing through the presets.
• System settings are stored in a "Single Preset (.fxp)" and in a Bank (.fxb). But not in a preset within a bank. Once you load a bank, the system settings are taken for every preset inside the bank.
• State of the link button is now stored in the presets.
• Added functionality to the BYPASS parameter. Now the Plugin is bypassed except Input and Output gain.
• Implemented a Shell Plugin to have Transmitter, MIDI Bay and Sidechain in one file / Subfolder in your VST list.
• If a host does not support ShellPlugins (nearly all do), the Transmitter plugin will not be available (You can use the AUX Bus or the 3+4 Input Channel (VST2.4) then.
• Added MIDI Bay plugin. This is the same as the Audio Transmitter, but for MIDI. You can have as many instances as you like. You can route 1 MIDI track for example to all your MBS instances. MIDI hold is supported, too.

Changes in Metrum v1.1.0:

• Changed internal framework / graphic engine to version 3.1.
• full RTAS support added.
• Complete rebuild of the user-content browser. Now its possible to browse all hard drives and mark folders as favourites.
• Added external drag & drop. Now you can drag a WAV file directly from an external browser into a sample layer.
• Added previous / next button (samples) to each sample layer. By clicking the arrows the previous or next sample in the library will be loaded.
• Fixed a bug where Metrum crashed while browsing through the presets.
• Improved CPU performance.

Changes in Multiband Compressor v1.0.2:

• Added full RTAS support.
• AU latency bugfix. Now the plugin reports its latency correct.

Changes in Philta XL v1.0.3:

• Added full RTAS support.
• Memory fix: Due to a bug, one instance of Philta XL could read over 100MB of memory usage. You should now be able to open a lot more Philtas in your project.
• Improved performance.
