Here is the list of changes:
1.2.0
New Plug-in: MD-GATE87
This new plug-in is a MIDI version of SD-GATE87.
It features a MIDI input but no audio sidechain. With its MIDI option disabled, it works exactly the same as SD-GATE87 (in non-sidechain mode).
Once the MIDI option enabled, the gate is controlled by a single MIDI note (a “Learn” function will help you to assign it the easy way).
Different MIDI modes are available (these are described in the updated manual):
- In Gate mode: Trigger, Unmute and Play.
- In Duck mode: Trigger, Mute (A) and Mute (L).
Please note that as for any MIDI enabled effect, it may be difficult to use the MIDI option in the context of some hosts (featuring some complex or limited routing options).
MD-GATE87 is free for registered users of SD-GATE87.
Both plugins share the same authorization codes (or key file). As far as one of them is authorized, the other one will be authorized as well.
Registered users of SD-GATE87 can download MD-GATE87 from their user account.
New purchasers of SD-GATE87 (or the ANALOG87 Series) will access MD-GATE87 by registering SD-GATE87.
Improvements:
SD-GATE87 and SD-COMP87:
- Important improvement of the reference section and sidechain processing.
SD-GATE87:
- With the (thresholds) ‘Link’ option enabled, it is now possible to adjust both (high and low) thresholds by manipulating any of the two threshold knobs.
- Improved precision of the fine tuning option (Shift + Mouse) of some knobs (Attack, Hold, Release).
PR-EQUA87:
- Improved frequency analyzer: higher “resolution”, new ‘Threshold’ and ‘Release’ controls.
CS-STRIP87:
- New ‘Signal Flow’ option that can be used to change the order of effects.
1.1.5
- EQ Tips provided by Computer Music magazine have been added to PR-EQUA87.
These tips are similar to those appearing in CM-EQUA87 (free eaReckon plug-in available exclusively with Computer Music 184).
- Immediate handling of parameters changes before resuming a suspended plug-in.
This should improve coherency of results in the context of hosts which do not process silence.
- Fixes a rare "distortion" issue that can potentially affect the VST version of PR-EQUA87 and CS-STRIP87 on Mac OSX.
1.1.4
- 'Mono to Mono' and 'Mono to Stereo' routing capabilities have been added to the AU version. Logic users should now have the possibility to place the plug-ins on a mono track without pressing the alt/option key.
- Mac OSX installers have been improved in order to get rid of a rare but potential authorization issue.
PR-EQUA87 and CS-STRIP87:
- New individual (per band) bypass switches.
- Smoother 'Cut Filters' on/off switches.
----------------------------------
I'm glad to announce that a new update of the ANALOG87 series is available.
Version 1.1.3 features a better handling of internal buffers which should provide better results when rendering audio in the context of some hosts.
Most of all, a new "Range" knob has been added to SD-GATE87. It can be used to adjust the applied level reduction when the gate is closed.
This feature has been suggested by KVR members... and it was a very good idea
Combined to the "Cut Filters" of the reference section, this "Range" knob provides some nice creative possibilities.
Here are some audio demos by Joris Holtackers (Sonopoly Studio):

Otherwise, if you live in Germany, soon you should have the possibility to check how transparent is BW-LIMIT87 by switching on your TV set
(more information about it can be found in the Testimonials section of the Analog87 Series web page)
Thanks again for your kind feedback and consideration!
All the best,
Philippe
