Here we go:

Compressor

Changes:
Equalizer - Added more modes, setable saturation amount, editable label on GUI
Compressor - Optimizations
Known issue:
ATM you can't record automation by tweaking the settings on the GUI, fix coming later!

Should now work in Reaper etc.

Report any issues here, thanks in advance!

I think you've fixed all the outstanding bugs! Well done! No "Excorsist" while saving!!

You know, these are turning into two damn fine effects. The EQ is excellent at doing filter effects; I can see this being a go-to for filtersweeps, etc. And it's very good at punching up drums.

Here's a quick mp3 of a dry loop, then the limiter, then your EQ at default settings and a sweep through the mids. Very nice!

Thank you (not just you bduffy, but you're definately included!

), for both the positive feedback and most of all for the help in testing these out!

About the eQ : moving the curve while playing is not "seamless", especially for the higher point : when you move it from the right to the left to make some king of lopassfilter effct, you hear "steps"...
(nice plugin indeed)

sweet! A little built in saturator is just want I wanted in the EQ. I can't wait to get home and try this new version out. Looking great man.

Yeah, I will add parameter smoothing, but only in the "fast" coefficient mode, which uses less CPU when doing high res automations, but more for "static" EQ'ing. The mode selection is disabled in the current version, but it'll come back

It was your request, so I do indeed hope you wanted it

I prefer it at quite low settings. At max the EQ kindof becomes a multi-stage distortion unit (the saturation occurs in each band, not on the main output) which is cool, but for other things than plain EQ'ing

HEY! They don't crash Reaper, now!

The EQ seemed a little slow in FL last night. Almost as if there was a very slight latency when I was adjusting the levels. After a little playing around it just stopped outputting sound completely and I needed to restart FL to get it to work again.

It's comming along nicely so far and when it's done it's going to be a great example of what SynthMaker can do

You can unfortunately get the EQ into an unstable mode (atleast with the shelving modes) if Q is above 1. This is ofcourse something I will have to look into!

I tried it, the EQ has a nice sound to it, and you can expand whith the compressor.

Very nice, thanky

Okay cool, thanks for your work so far. This is comming out great so far.

btw I really like that little labeling feature you added to help differentiate multiple instances!

Quasi-bump...

I just added an optional auto-gain for the down compression (will do the very same for upwards expansion), is this of any interest or is it better to not "bloat" it? The GUI is still the same size, just one more switch down along the bottom.
