amplab 0.7.2 is out.
This update continues the work on dynamic cabinet behavior under heavier master load and overload pressure. I also added a new NoiseGate module and finally implemented mirrored Windows audio output for the standalone version, which makes realtime demo/video recording much less painful on ASIO setups.
I finally managed to record a proper realtime demo video as well:
Also, Iron Stack v0.2.1 available.
