10€ off?
No, a bit more... I guess it's personal based on previous purchases. I bought Filtershaper somewhere down the line... long ago.

Yes, it depends on which products you own. If you only own DriveShaper, for example, the ShaperBox 2 Bundle is €10 / $11 off, which equals to 11% off.

This might sound like little, but please consider that DriveShaper is just 16.5% of the ShaperBox 2 Bundle.. and Bundle prices are usually a bit cheaper when purchased at once.

Side question: Is it intentional that the global filter cutoff in filtershaper cannot be midi mapped?

It's a consequence of the fact that this value is simply the average of the modulation wave.. we cannot assign a parameter to the whole wave.. - assuming you mean FilterShaper Core.

However there's a workaround: Activate the Envelope Follower, and set its amount to 0%. Then automate the "Shift" value of the envelope follower (unfold the envelope follower to see it).

Any chance we'll get the option to load a core module more than once?

FR for some extra modulators plus a matrix or patch cables for the destinations a la byome style. The frequency bands and the LFO speed / intensity would make good targets for the extra modulators.

Of course you already have the option of using two or more ShaperBox2 instances for that ...

The problem is that we need to tell DAWs in advance on how many parameters we have.. and we already have a ton, so with our current setup that'd mean we'd have to reserve even more; but we're also "wasting" a lot of parameters with reserved/internal ones, so there's room for improvement.

Check our FilterShaper 3 - there the speed of each LFO and its modulations intensity can be modulated by a set of 2 other LFOs + envelope follower. A total of 100 LFOs or so.. The filters in FilterShaper 3 are a bit outdated / not as good as in FilterShaper Core, but we'll update FilterShaper 3 soon, most likely in Q1/2021.

This may be the point at which a small and highly respected developer, ironically as a result of their good will and best intentions, starts to get snowed under by lots of specific individual requests, while still trying to keep their products stable under the never-ending onslaught of necessary platform updates

You're right, developers have to prioritize. The wish of adding multiple Shapers is one of the top wishes though, so it's high on our list, if it can be done in a good way.

Damn I was going to pull the trigger on ShaperBox2 update, but now you make me wonder about getting the full bundle.... Damn choices

This is great! I did the Shaperbox 2 upgrade from driveshaper and I'm very happy with it.
So many possibilities

Thanks Cableguys

Sounds so good - and amazing to have use of the others too! I use Halftime continuously, and am feeling this will be similar.

Just joined the Cableguys fam by buying Shaperbox 2. Bloody awesome (esp with DriveShaper)!!

Also, just wanted to say how great Halftime is. So simple but effective..
