That was 2.2... it is now 2.5 so I thought there might also be a new estimate.

[zvenx]

Ahh.. my bad.

Actually there was never a 2.2 released. I think he just renamed it 2.5, and added some more stuff, he will of course have to confirm the date, but I suspect it is the same as the older date.

I forgot to update the version string. it's just cosmetical. you can ignore it

Thanks for the feedback.

"Enhanced sound" of this beast, def. looking forward to that, it already sounds "enhanced" compared to most softsynths.

Appreciate the installation and authorization methods of Tone2 stuff as well in this day of subs and having to be online to revalidate/reauthorize and all the intrusive and otherwise useless bloat packaged with a lot of other plugins.

Icarus still has c/r-authorization. Haven't used it for some time because of this.

Not sure if you really own Icarus...
The Mac version never had c/r. It's only on PC and there only for a single time when you install it. After this you do not longer need to be online as it will continue to work forever. It might be completely removed with the upcoming update.

Plugin formats: 32-bit VSTi, 64-bit VSTi, VST3, Standalone

Mac: macOS 10.7 or higher / macOS 11 / macOS 12
32bit Intel or 64bit Intel or M1 (native Apple silicon support)

Thanks for the info... looking forward to it!

Very nice, thanks for the M1 beta. Looking forward for the final version. Yes, Apple is extremely annoying, on the other hand, that new processing power is amazing, and latencies are ridiculously low now. Can play projects with 1,5ms which required 40ms on Intel and so on. Apple minus the lock-in, plus opened, cross-platform APIs like it was 12 years ago would be great. But Apple has other, very poor plans.

Markus, can you please see to the envelopes not redrawn when adjusted from a MIDI keyboard?
(I hope it's an effect of the same bug, along with not redrawn envelopes with a double-click)

[Markus Krause]

double click has been fixed for v2. 5
