Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer 3.55 Released!

[Blue Cat Audio]

We are glad to announce the release of Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer 3.55!



What's New:
- Plug-ins oversampling: it is now possible to oversample processing for every plug-in (up to 16x).
- Custom Colors: Each individual plug-in instance can now be assigned a custom color.
- Updated factory presets and all built-in plug-ins with custom colors.
- MB-7 Mixer can now use its own parameters in macros, mixed together with loaded plug-ins parameters.
- Macro Parameters & params assignments can now be saved and copied/pasted.
- Drag and drop macro parameters to change order / insert / copy.
- The "Remove" command now removes the selected macro parameter instead of the last one in the list.
- Graphical user interface refresh performance improvements, especially on Mac.
- Fixed custom tone maps presets not properly saved for some built-in plug-ins (Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Sweep Filter, Wave Shaper, Freq Shifter, Wah, EQ).
- Fixed plug-in slot menu issues when loading plug-ins with more than 22380 parameters on Windows.
- Updated parameters layout for GUI-less plug-ins to accommodate plug-ins with multiple parameters.
- GUI-less plug-ins generic editor now follows the MB-7 Mixer's zoom level.
- Fixed a crash when opening the editor of a VST2 GUI-less plug-in that uses non-unicode encoding in its parameters (piz-midi plug-ins).
- LEARN mode is now disabled automatically when the Params Map Editor is closed.
- AAX plug-in now reports the recording status to hosted plug-ins (in recent versions of Pro Tools that support it).
- Ableton Live 11: Fixed MB-7 Mixer VST3 MIDI input not detected.

Hello,

I've just purchased MB-7 Mixer, and I'm surprised that it's not possible to put FX/VST on the Master.
Am I missing something ?
Is is planed in futur updates ?

And I would also like to know if it's possible to add more than 2 FX/VST PRE or POST per band ?

Thanks.
Best Regards,
Opooly

There is indeed no slots on the Master, because if you need to load plug-ins globally you will usually load them directly in the DAW, or use a utility plug-in such as PatchWork to load more effects.

On each band you can load up to 4 plug-ins. Just click on the post-fader plug-ins icon (#10) in the toolbar to show the extra two slots:

Hello,

that's how I realise that I wasn't as clear as I wanted.

Of course I saw that there are 2 slots Pre, and 2 slots Post, so let's say that I want 5 slots in total, or 3 slots Pre, and 3 slots Post ?

And concerning the Master FX, it's not the same to put it in the DAW, because I can't use MB-7 Internal Effects, and it's not saved with my MB-7 Preset ?

Even without those options, MB-7 is still a very good Software, but I think I won't be alone to wish those functions.

Thanks.

Opooly-You can also put a Patchwork within any MB7 slot and have multiples of possible plugins.

While adding some extra slots on the master has been under discussion for a while, adding some more slots in other bands after the fact is not necessarily an easy thing (for compatibility reasons). As mentioned in the previous post, you can always load more plug-ins using PatchWork for example.
