Cableguys ShaperBox 3.6.3 UPDATE

-1 on legacy presets. (At least I don‘t want to be forced to wade through 100s of mediocre presets). A curated smaller number is way better… It just needs to be diverse enough for different use cases…

Agree, SB2 was pretty hopeless finding something new and usable. Not curated well enough, and not easy to know what the preset design intent was for. A lead, a vocal, a piano, or what?
So yeah, less is more, and better info what it was designed for. If you spend 10+ min during production browsing presets, it is not working that well as the awesome tool it can be.

What about just giving an option to import the old presets if you want or stick with only the new curated presets if you want? Everyone goes home happy.

For me the preset transfer works perfect! Now I can replace v2 with v3

We just updated ShaperBox to v3.1.1!

New for this update is a vectorscope stereo analyzer for Pan and Width Shapers. This added visual feedback helps in achieving the correct balance of stereo width and mono compatibility.

You can also now import your ShaperBox 1/2 custom presets into ShaperBox 3. To use the feature, open ShaperBox 1 or 2 and select Sync from the Main Menu (three lines icon). Next, open ShaperBox 3 and click the Sync button in the top bar (or via Main Menu). Your synced presets will appear in the My Presets area, prefixed “SB1” or “SB2”. If you delete/alter/rename them in ShaperBox 3, they remain visible and unchanged in ShaperBox 1/2.

Further fixes and tweaks:

– NoiseShaper's noise download dialog will not be shown again once cancelled.
– The correct Wave category is now opened when using Quick Presets (Sidechain, Trim, Half-Time).
– Oscilloscope Tool is now resized when Global Audio Trigger panel open.
– Loading the plugin with the selected MIDI device disconnected no longer causes unexpected results.

Will songs made with ShaperBox 2 work also with SB3?
Can I install SB3 without uninstalling SB2?

ShaperBox 3 is a completely separate plugin to ShaperBox 2, so it won't automatically 'upgrade' your existing projects. So yes, your songs will still work, and they will load up with ShaperBox 2, just as they always did.

And yes, you can install SB3 alongside SB2, without uninstalling it.

Hey could you add an offset (in samples) option for SB3? The way FL Studio handles latency compensation is weird so this would save a lot of time and headaches

Thanks for the suggestion – I've passed it on to the developers.

You can also try Audio and MIDI triggering instead, which are not subject to the timing bugs caused by poor song position handling by the DAW.

Havent tried Audio trigger, MIDI triggering is a no no when there are plugins with latencies before that, and its not a bug or Shaperbox not working properly, its just how FL implented these thing back in the day and never changed them (if you are a FL user you know).

I did a quick video to demonstrate.

Only workarounds are using zero latency effects, adding effects after SB or shift the envelope in SB to 2/4 or something then do some weird manual latency compensation which are all terrible solutions, hope to see this feature added, LFOtool has it but the range is not long & precise enough and Shaperbox is just superior overall.
