Toneboosters new plugins and updates

[dangayle]

Also, Sibalance 3 has not been upgraded, and it's a pretty indispensable plugin to abandon.

I'm glad I have the v3. I hope there will be a v4 at some point.

I fully agree with you: Sibalance 3 is an excellent de-esser.
However, I have had some very good de-essing results by using the dynamic equalising capabilities of TB EQ4:
I use a notch in the plain EQ section to sweep for the offending frequencies and then dial in the required dynamic EQ needed to deal with it.
Then I EQ the rest of the track to taste
Finally I automate the on/off for the dynamic EQ to kick in for the parts of the song only where it is needed.
This works for me as a usable one-stop EQ and de-essing solution.

Morphit with virtual environments would be a welcomed feature by the looks of it.
It would also make Morphit more desirable.

It would be absolutely brilliant if Jeroen were to build in some room simulation capability into Morphit ...

There actually is a newer De-esser from Toneboosters, but it's only available from Computer Music.

Am I the only one disappointed with the new Dual VCF GUi?
Now, it looks like an IOS app, and we can't see both filters parameters at once?
I don't get the tabbed interface for such a simple plugin, as it make the workflow worse

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the change, the tabs seem really unnecessary here. Flowtones/Polyphony is even worse in this regards, the synth sounds great to my ears too but programming it is a pain in the hoop. Too much tabbing is a workflow killer.

Yep , it's pretty stupid .
I expected a node to control both freq and res at the same time , and obviously two windows .
But no

Glad I'm not the only one. I sent a support message on their website, I hope they will take a change into consideration...

I noticed that too - you can use the mousewheel for res, but it would make for much quicker adjustments if dragging adjusted both values.

I don t understand how the LFO works - it says there are 4 LFOs but they seem to be all driven by exactly the same clock. I cant get it to have LFOs at different rates. Is there a way to do this I have missed? Seems pretty useless to have just a single rate for the LFO(s)

Just the one LFO, the 4 tabs are for cutoff and res on both filters.

I thought so - yet they advertise it saying 4 LFOs - very misleading and not all that useful. Nice sounding plugin but I would sell it if license transfers were allowed

Well there are 4 LFO envelopes you can set; I'm going over the webpage to find any instance where it says '4 LFOs' but I fail to find that; could you point us where that is described like that so we can fix it if that is the case?

And yes: feedback on being able to show the two filter responses simultaneously is understood; we'll add a mode to do this.

Understood about the tabs in Flowtones. That said; the feedback from users that have gone in and worked with the tabs is actually very positive; we've put in a lot of effort to create meaningful tabs that allow you to focus on what you're doing. Also we don't waste a ton of precious desktop space by putting in a huge modulation matrix; instead there's targeted popup screens to set modulations. It's also well understood that tabs are something some users like, and others don't.

We'll also update how the popup screens work so that they will get out of the way a bit (triggering them with a right mouse click instead of a long click currently). Stay tuned for updates

Thank you so much for the quick reply... And for agreeing to bring the dual display back!

from the manual "Four low-frequency oscillators (LFOs) are provided to modulate the frequency and resonance parameter of the two filter sections over time." But you are right there is no mention on the webpage so I am wondering where I got that info outside the manual - my apologies if I didnt, might have just been talk on here.
To be fair to you I think the price / quality is well worth it but for me not so much without 4 independent LFOs as I have other filter plugins that are more powerful (and more expensive).
Also I dont particularly mind the tabbed interface, I quite like that it is clear and uncluttered

[Bodhisan]

Having four independent (having their own rates) lfo’s would make it so much more powerful. Is that a possibility for on down the road?
