Vengeance Sound updates Multiband Sidechain, Metrum, Philta XL and Multiband Compressor (incl. RTAS releases)

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.
