Blue Cat' MB-7 Mixer 2.0 Plug-in Released - Multiband VST and AU Hosting!

[Selfik]

+1 for Dry/Wet

[Blue Cat Audio]

Thanks for the feedback.

Next version is getting closer... It won't have the dry/wet param yet nor the ability to assign parameters to automate hosted plug-ins, but it will include a couple of usability and user interface improvements.

Drag and drop would indeed be nice... As a first step we will have copy/paste using the system's clipboard (which means you can copy/paste between instances or even between different apps). Wait and see...

- (Mac) plug-in version number is now available when using "Get Info" in the Finder.
2.1 Fixes:

Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer 2.11 is now available!

Plug-ins compatibility improvements:

• Improved compatibility with plug-ins that do not support sample rate changes (Nebula).
  Improved compatibility with synths or effects that internally use VST presets banks: the entire state was not properly restored with the session (Nexus, Korg Legacy series or D16 Sigmund for example).

Other improvements:

• Reduced the plug-in's memory usage so that more instances can be used in a session.
  Windows VST Installer now remembers where the plug-in was initially installed to simplify upgrades.

For registered users, the update is free and the new version can be found at the same place as the initial version (use the registration email that you received with your order).

If you do not already own the plug-in, don't miss our December deals, available until the end of the month!

Now I like MB-7 Mixer even more because of GUI-less plugins support. Thanks, Blue Cat!
